Reactive Abilities

[Jinko]

I'm going to be the first to disagree to this idea.

I currently use the log to see when my character blocks/parrys/evades but I also use it for things like dodging Ifrit's Incinerate or Moogles Pom-Flares/Mognesia, things like that. If they made it so blocks and such showed up on players characters or had the skills light up when ready, it would just force people to be lazy and not even use chat filters or the logs to see enemy/party abilities activate, which I would say isn't a good thing.

Then wouldn't it make more sense to show an on screen indication when ifrit and moogle do these moves. (I believe you can tell by their animations anyway)

The days of watching text to anticipate moves are long gone.

No worries though when 2.0 comes out and we get addons there will no doubt be addons to parse the text and give on screen indications and possibly audio ones aswell.
