The situation is that this game, even amidst the excitement and support of the XIV community, is hanging by a thread. The people that essentially choose whether or not this thread is cut is the press come 2.0's release. The press, at this time, pretty much only praise XIV for its graphics and animation. Do you want to cut the graphics to improve gameplay? No, because that will either A) Keep you where you are or B) Blow up in your face, making the situation even worse.

So instead, try to improve both. What I'm saying is animation lock is a negligible problem for those who actually learn how to do the content. To be hypothetical, if the servers were fixed to the point that what happens on my screen is within 0.1 seconds of what's happening on the server, animation lock would hardly even matter. Or, as someone said above, keep the lock but slice off the time that it holds you in place after the animation is done (like after doomspike).

Or just do the upper/lower body thing which I didn't even read about before I posted about animation lock. Again, I was mostly referring to the clowns stating things like "I'd rather go back to WoW".

I don't even know why you're still going on about it. I was done a while ago. I guess you wanted to beat my preschool insults with a preschool riposte. Chill out a bit. First world problems.
If you were done a while ago why are you still here? I wasn't done as you were continuing to say things I felt the need to disagree with, so I'm perfectly entitled to still be here and quote whatever madness anyone decided to post.

Once again, you state that critics only praise this game for its graphics. Because that's ALL this game has. You could destroy this games graphics, make the game the best game you have ever played, and guess what? Critics would be all over it with praise. Now if you could make it the best and pretty? Even better.

The argument has only ever been that if the animations get in the way of gameplay, they need to be changed (whether that is through shortening them, changing them altogether, allowing sliding... whatever). Again, I would prefer the game to work well and be well animated, and as someone posted above, Uncharted 3 is an amazing example of a game that does both perfectly, without sacrificing any piece of the game for any other piece. So lets see a little of that from Square Enix.

I still don't understand your need to throw childish names around at people who play another game than you, though. You are essentially the same as the fanboys over on WoW who mindlessly insult any other mmo or any other players of said games, just because it's not their game; it's not their TEAM.

You are not superior to a single other person on this planet nor are they superior to you: especially not based on what video games they decide to play.
