Hidden Weapon Draw Effects

[TWOxACROSS]

Could we perhaps get an personal option for when we draw a weapon that is hidden? The idea would be to give it a simple appearance from a sheath of light, similar to what was done in both Dissidia and Kingdom Hearts.

This would make it more aesthetically pleasing, and be a bit more thematic in such cases as magical classes - since (personally) it looks silly to have a shaft-like weapon stick to your back, so for a black mage to make their staff appear in their hands from a sheath of magic would be pretty slick. Especially if you go the whole nine yards and have each job's draw effect unique, like red/black flames for dark knight, white light for white mage, purple electricity for black mage, blue gauss-like electricity for machinist, etc.

Juuuust of a suggestion, of course.

Fun fact, 1.0 FFXIV had some weaponless casting

That's an interesting thought.

I'd actually debate the usefulness and aesthetics of it when you're wielding a Primal weapon that already has an elemental effect, but I'd like to see it at least for the Padjali and Kinna weapons from PotD. That would be the simplest weapon animation of that type if they put in the time to animate it.

Also, which weapons had unique draw animations in 1.0? I can't recall seeing any like that.

If you use true ice daggers on nin while having the weapon visibility turned off it looks like blades of ice just spring forth from each hand
