Weapon Skill Animations.. Really?

[God]

This is a HUGE flaw in the game and SE must devote some time to fixing it.

The copypasta zones and lackluster animations don't show the amazing potential of the graphics this game could provide.

honestly no it isn't. Its only a huge flaw if you stare and watch the character animation second by second in slow motion. Personally when I play in ffxi and fight I'm looking at the mob and its hp. The only thing that makes the weapon skilss cool are the effects not the animations.

all the weapons skills for each job in ffxi was copy and pasted with a tweek. Like asurin fists was a mix of 2 animations. least for mithra is was on of their multi hit weapon skills (forgot name) plus backhand blow.

maybe they can tweek the effects to make them more eye candy. But all the character animation in ffxi was the same.

I think this is a complaint for sake of complaint and you guys are just over anylizing the game and picking it apeart because you are that "bored"

You say this every post it's ignorant and beyond old.

The WS/Magic animations in this game are TERRIBAD. I'm not even reading what your going on about in FFXI or whatever because THEY ARE NOT THE CRAPPY WS's THAT FFXIV HAS.

Show me a cool ancient magic spell. Show me a cool Lancer WS or Archer WS (other then the useless flip in the air one)

You can't because even as the poll indicated people think the animations are terrible and they are right.

If they are that bored while playing to come up with things to complain about then that's a whole other problem altogether with the status of the game.

Yeah. And? FFXI is like a 10 year old game. You have no point because holding up a "next gen" MMO (FFXIV) to the standards of a 10 year old game and using that as justification for lackluster/subpar/copypaste animations and WS effects. It looks like you're just arguing for the sake of arguing.
