Pictomancer animations underwhelming

[RulerOfPotaoes]

I think its safe to say they will eventually rework the animation style.

I don't think it'll be the same as all the other jobs, but its probably gonna be somewhere in the middle.

There hasn't been a single visual upgrade rework on any job yet, has there? What makes you sure they'll do it now, and for a job that's just released of all the jobs?

[Truen]

pictomancer itself as a job is possibly the most pathetic idea since Yoshi took over.

Agreed. He's really been off since the 4.0 gutting healers took. From that to FF16's bareboned, boring mechanics to this pictocrap! Can we get some fresh talent? Please?

I just want to say that this thread got real quiet lol.

Well the spells don't look like muddy or pixelated garbage like in the reveal trailer anymore. So people commenting on the thread got what they wanted, the feedback worked, they succeeded. It's kinda natural.

I am happy to recant my criticisms, now that the paint colors make sense mechanically and it still has a lot more watercolor tints in its broader kit.

I'm quite surprised how well it ties together several FF characters: Relm, Moogle, and Eiko. Other than the fact that it is railroaded like every other job, and the fact that it is stepping so hard into geomancer/GRM territory I am worried we may never get a GRM, it really is a good design.

COLOR me surprised.

I still dont think the effects fit

[Raikai]

I don't really think a lot changed but maybe they improved the resolution of the effects a little bit. At the very least /in practice/ it didn't look as odd as the initial reveal. Maybe because we're seeing it at a 'normal play' distance.

Thank goodness the 'splat' clip art effects from the trailer (the worst offender imo) looked like just a trailer prop.

In terms of job flow and thematic design PIC looks to be the best class we have gotten since like SB when RDM was a flawless out of the gate caster

The animations are strong, thematic, fun without goofy and the skills look powerful

I honestly couldn’t come up with a criticism if I tried except maybe star prism and rainbow road I’d love to use more than once per 2 minutes

yeh, altough I'm slightly disapointed that there are only 1 canvas for weapon and landscape. Obviously it's better to leave some room for the job to grow, but still.

Definitely the second caster I level up.
