I mean.. really? You want to say that this isn't the AST skill collective unconciousness?
Given the fact that both of those video clips are taken from long, LONG before we even knew AST was a thing...I mean really? You think AST as we know it was in development as far back as 1.0?

Yeah, from a story perspective it makes sense. She's Sharlayan Born, so it's possible she may have studied Astrology and picked up some of their skills, cross-classing things naturally what the game system won't let us.

But in actuality, viewing it from the outside as a game? Saying "This skill looks like Collective Unconscious, so it must be" isn't different than the "Hints" of Dancer that you're vehemently against.
It's far more likely that they took the animation and decided to reuse it. Nothing more, nothing less.
