LOL I did not knew it was from Cloud. Considering that this skill is much cooler! (Since i was a child when VII was a new game i never played it and wait for the remake so i dont spoil myself and just believe you that he has that skill)

BUT... like... honestly and very seriously now..

i have so many questions.. i dont know so many stuff like how much does it actually "cost" to develop a skill. or how long does it take to develop one.. questions over questions BUT!

What i know is : they already developed skills for the dark knight .. animations. Like from Scourge. So it should be VERY EASY for them just to swap the animations or am i that wrong about that?

So it should be actually quite easy for the devs to change the skills at least in their animation and i googled for an hour and i found like 2 or 3 threads like this one here and i didnt saw anyone prefer Soul Eater over Delirium or Power Slash.

So i believe the majority (at least from those persons who used their voice in the internet) is wishing for an animation swap or bringing back old skills.

And as you said the majority seemed to prefer HS Dark Knight. But the HS DRK had scourge , delirium and power slash. so its exactly what i said.

first they removed 2 skills i liked and now they removed power slash too. 3 skills now that had a cool animation and got removed while let us stay with soul eater.

Soul Eater is an cool skill I would not remove it BUT its that kind of skill you dont want to see too often you know what i mean? it dont look like an combo finisher more like an opener or second after the opener. It dont feel satisfying to use it.

So i just wish and want to understand what are the devs actually thinking when they decide about how a skill has to look and how a skill is decided to be removed.

Why is there no survey or thread from the devs asking "how much are you satisfied with skill animations?" and then make a poll to each skill animation ?

Devs always say "we want to listen to our community and improve together the game"

but this line is always only related to things like ping or lags or as i said housing system.. so nothing about core gameplay elements just boring stuff like glamour system or something like that.

but skill animations are very important to me because they keep me motivated to take part in the game and love doing dungeons and stuff. and since FF is very repetetive in skills because you rotate them and see them all 2 seconds again they have to look good or not?

other games work like you only use normal combos and skills are a special thing that need to be charged up but in this game you only have skills and see them 500 times in a minute so in my opinion they should look good. AND THEY DO... but they remove the cool looking skills and the remaining ones are... Okay... but compared to the removed ones...


its just sad and weird we dont get heard by the devs we dont even get an statement. this is what troubles me. if i would get an statement where i get explained why it wont be realized i can live much better with that than just having an question mark over my head for years and dont understand why they are choosing to do that considering there are more than 1 threads and more than 1 person complaining about what happened to the skills. so its not a problem from a single human being but alot more.

one day i wish to to have enough reach to contact the devs and tell them that this is not cool xD. until then it seems like i have to live with that. at least we can suffer together and im not the only one who has a problem with that. thanks for your opinions
