A lot of it I liked from the trailer but... is it me or did the attack animations seem even more anime mmo/rpg then we typically see? Some parts you couldn't even see the character themselves.

But no! A real summon pet would be too in the way apparently lol

It does have rather...excessive visuals compared to the other melee jobs, which is partly why I don't like it.

I enjoy building up to a flashy attack either as a combo finisher or a move that expends a resource, but they seemed to have opted to just make everything flashy at the expense of its moves looking indistinct.

It's a good contrast to Gunbreaker, then - which felt very lacking to me in comparison to other jobs where visuals are concerned. Further highlighted by how much fancier the abilities used by the likes of Gaius and the two sisters in Ghimlyt Dark are.

I think GNB is fine on that front but I'm also heavily biased. lol But yeah, Reaper is very flashy. Maybe a little too flashy, but I like the look of it regardless.

I personally find GNB's burst really satisfying specifically because of the cartridge explosions during the Gnashing Fang combo and its extensions...though it also helps that it's the only tank that doesn't just spam the same move several times in a row at some point in its rotation.

Visual/sound design goes a long way in making a job fun to play and thus far Reaper isn't really hitting the right notes for me; particularly with its burst phase seeming to be a spam mode akin what tanks have been working with.
