Why is the new dragoon animation so terrible?

[Gilraen]

I think what we're forgetting is where the AF and AF2 are coming from. AF, and pretty much a ton of other helmets, are from or based on helmets from 1.0 where graphics were king and your computer isn't good enough. Animations were a big part of that experience to the woeful exclusion of gameplay. Seriously, animation lock was real, as was the struggle against it. Understandably, something as simple as /visor in 2.0 isn't going to be given the same 1.0 treatment. The Dragoon AF2 helmet isn't the only helmet introduced in 2.0 to have simplified visuals. Amon's Chapeau has a sleep blindfold that just kind of tucks away. The snowman head, the 'mouth' disappears. There's just more important things to worry about, like making the armor in general look like worthy AF (which it does).

they saved the visor budget to animate wheeling thrust and geirskogul

now that you mention it... that is kinda bad lol. The Au Ra horns especially I've noticed them clipping on everything as you said.

Yeah, there's no holes or anything, like they just glue them onto the helmets and hoods lol

[QUOTE=Obysuca;3243659] But gordian gear is just like the allagan gear, the same with slight different colors just got to wait until the final floors of Alexander

That's not even something you should bother calling a animation.

Wow, that's a really terrible animation. I hope they fix it at some point.

WTF happened to their quality control dpt anyway? Isn't this still a Final Fantasy title where polish matters?

[Gilraen]

The quality of the game has gone really downhill since 3.0. Like seriously wtf are SE spending that cash shop money on?

A dedicated server in Europe for players who live there?

I'll tell you what they aren't using it on >_> lol content, animations and servers(another retainer would crash servers... what?) or they're not making as much money as people think they are.

[Assirra]

Lol you mean the server that should have been there from day one? :3 If the cash shop didn't exist Europe players still would have got there server seeing how the game has been rather successful. It's just pure greed xP

To be fair, with the disaster that was 1.x financially i can give them a break.

That's what I'm saying! it makes it feel like some crappy f2p game. Are any devs around to respond to this?
