What did FF14 have right, at launch?

[Eclipse]

The reason the XIV Opening Cinematic suffered was because the game did not reflect the what was in the video.

There were many spells that were represented in the video that we have yet to see, most notably, and I am guessing at the names...

Enfire
- To be cast on others and self
This is where the Lalafell casts a fire spell on the Archer's bow to bring it a blaze and the Archer shoots the fiery projectile at the Molboro.


Force Field
- To be cast around a target or targets to protect them for a short amount of time for any immediate attacks. It was a beautiful looking effect.
This is when the Lalafell notices the Hyurs moment of weakness as he has been knocked down and stunned in the water and to avoid him getting hurt she reaches her arms into the air and summons a protective dome over him, stopping the attacks.

I realize that we have weapons that have an additional fire attack and the spell Protect which echos an effect around us when we are hit but the actions and results are different. The dome is completely intact after the attack and it is a visual constant around the player both protected by and casting it.
