Pictomancer animations underwhelming

[Benji41]

Oh I don’t think it will bring down all casters, and actually I’m interested to see where it will land. I mean the no rez aspect is interesting because I can’t believe will be able match blm damage so it must bring some other party utility (I think anyway).
I understand that there are people that are super excited about it, and that’s cool. I just really disliked the cartoonish look and the slurpy sound fx lol. With that being said, I will 100% play Pictomancer, I’ll just have to have some tissues nearby

On these forums, the only thing that people hate more than the way FF14 does things is FF14 ever doing anything differently.

In any case, I welcome the different graphical aesthetic on PCT - it's a way to represent drawing in a world already rendered in graphics and the secret sauce of a class-based game is exactly having different classes hit different niches for players.

Different is fine. Not even remotely fitting within the rest of the game's art style, not so much.

Never mind that the effects simply look underwhelming at best. That's... not good for a job that's niche is supposed to be an aesthetic niche.

If you can't nail the visual concept of a painter mage because of whatever limitations the game or development has, it probably would have been better not to implement the job at all.

Well said, We can only hope for visual improvements come DT

People need to stop freaking out until the job action trailer and or media tour. Go watch there reveal trailers for other jobs.

These could all be lower level versions of their spells. The sage trailer in particular didn’t show off many of the more impressive looking spells.

It would be fantastic if Pictomancer's spells become progressively more detailed as you level up and your artistic skill improves.

They actually might do that. Would be cool if it did.

I was excited for the concept then saw the moogle laser and I thought it looked like a joke job like BLU...disappointing.. (I hate moogles)

Looking at the benchmark trailer, the moogle from the moogle beam attack looks way better to me. (´◡`)

I agree, also looking at that fight scene in which Krile participates, the 'art style' did look better in a distance and mixed with everything else, to be honest.
