Spell-casting animation..?

[Yucie]

It's really personal preference.

I like the current, understated "touching the forehead" animation, but obviously many others here don't.

On the usually quiet Japanese forum, there are actually a number of people saying the new animation looks weird... so who knows what will happen.

I strongly loathe the current casting animation because EVERY race essentially shares that animation. It only helps to promote non-uniqueness between the different races and sexes. The only minor difference in the animation between races is how they move their hand at the end of the cast.

The new one looks way better.
