Weapon Skill Animations.. Really?

[Soda]

all the weapons skills for each job in ffxi was copy and pasted with a tweek.

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.
