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

So, FFXIV has some truly great animations. Lush motion capture. Rich animations while crafting, sitting down, gathering, /psyching up to activate abilities, casting spells, doing weaponskills, buffing yourself or others, etc. ad infinitum.

wat.

When you use an ability you pretty much just squat like you are pooping and suddenly colors flash around.
