    I hate those power ranger like spark effects

    That appear when any weapon skill hits its mark. Please do away with them. Or replace them with something better looking.

    It seems completely out of synch with the rest of the game.

    Is it supposed to be replacing blood or what? I don't even..

    Anyway, same for what's being used for the magic effects. I don't know how to phrase it. But... looks too... computer generated or something. Like... it clashes with everything else there is.

    Right.

    Because REAL magic effects, like in real life, would totally be more realistic.

    God. Think for a second before you talk...

    Something being believable and not existing in real life are two different things.

    FFXIV takes place in a realm with chocobos, monsters and such. Everything is done so in a way it seems believable within this world.

    The sparks and magic effect, however, do not follow the same graphical style (and the sparks existing make no sense whatsoever). It completely breaks the atmosphere. It'd be like seeing a WoW orc hanging out with XIV's. Even putting a picture of a human being would look out of place, even though it doesn't get more realistic than that.

    FFXI's spells all seemed to fit the visuals of the game. They had that polygon look to the them or whatever. I don't know how to describe it... but they didn't look like some computer generated graphic tossed on top of a breathing world.

    You hit a monster a bunch of times, it sparkles and then dies? Get a grip.

    OH! in that case, I don't see it. The animation is great to me, I vote we don't change it. Its very Final Fantasy to me. The last time I checked, I was playing on a computer. My expectations for anything computer made to look not computer generated falls far into the future. Now if you think the casting effects need a little more flare, I would definitely like to see what they could conjure up.

    Either way half of your post I just don't see what your talking about. The other half just doesn't make sense to me. Please clarify the half of how to make a computer generated game look less computer generated. I wait for your response.

    I always see the monster groan, stagger, fall down and fade away after a few seconds - just the way they do in reality. Even the shiny elementals don't sparkle and die.

    My signature is edible. Go ahead, try some.
