Petition: Keep the Animation!~

[Darshu]

When are people going to stop bringing up these fucking obvious fallacious arguments about how the game sucked bad then because all it did was look pretty? Can't they realize that by saying it they actually admit to its aesthetic being a GOOD thing, something they actually did RIGHT, and that it makes absolutely NO SENSE to change it in order to IMPROVE it? How the fuck will you improve by changing something that was right in the first place? Smells like they're rushing this shit, again. Looks like the current team cannot stand having anything the old team did on their game.

Well they listen to the players and the players were like this game sucks, sooo they have this mindset that... if this game sucks, we must try and re do everything they did! CAN"T HAVE ANY TRACES!

you don't get it do you? its on purpose so your char doesn't stand there for half a second turning before it even starts moving while something that can oneshot it is about to spawn underneath it

Why do ppl keep thinking that animations must carry their orders out to the end? With the lag issue gone, animations can simply be overwritten/replaced by the next command input.

Then why have animations at all?

It is just seconds on top of seconds of wasted time when all is said and done.
Why have a walking animation? or a flourish when you swing your weapon? an action when you consume a meal? or little hop when you encounter a small obstacle?
What is the point of having Intricate weapon skill animations? Why should they be different? After all.... that is just another wasted second, maybe even two!, when i could just as happily push one button and the action/movement/WS could be triggered, executed, and hit the target all in the exact second i wish, with the little elvaan sod just standing there like a brick wall!

Oh, the excitement.... it its too much for me.

Exactly, instead of playing FFXIV, we could all JUST DO MATH instead!

8000hp - 1356 points of damage from my weaponskill = 6644hp to go!

I'm having fun!
