I love beautiful animations.. but I think they're too slow for this game

[Eldaena]

I once said that it would be neat if they slowed down the combat during certain moments... think Alice: Madness Returns and Prince of Persia. Even Vindictus. Maybe as we do a battle regimen in the future or during the final blows of the defeat of a boss the entire fighting slows down and we see us smashing the the target for some choice screen shots at the same time. =p I'd actually like to see the animations, but the focus on speed in every aspect in combat is kind of not allowing them to showcase their visuals. Kind of sad because people just want them removed because of this fast-paced combat.

I think it would be nice if there was absolutely no animation lock, but I don't think it would be fair for it to not exist as well. Since the spell casting revisions it would unbalance things even further for PvP if that is their primary focus on key combat movement mechanics and their balance...
