Extreme disappointment in Melee Animation

[Spuffin]

Same post as the Magical Animation, I just thought I would toss in some Melee attention as well. This isnt a flame or a troll but it's a serious issue that does need to be addressed and called upon.

Notice how he has the same left hand swing for every animation, and all the animations are weak and consist of distorted lighting affects....? The second version of the same skill is literally the SAME skill.

It's kinda sad how an 8 year old game did alot better in such a very important aspect of the game and that being appeal.

In order to progress we need to level. In order to level we need to undergo a plentiful amount of eye sore animations that almost make me want to cry every time I decided to click a numbered key.

SE I really do hope you make this a top priority and I really do hope that this is a change we will see along with your new battle system update or hopefully right after. I don't like beating around the bush and sugar coating things but... don't hate, appreciate

I'm guessing that you think that the animations are like nothing you have ever seen before?! Well you're right. I never have seen such poor quality in such a high quality game.

You titled your post wrong, you ment to say WS animation. As for actual animation is actually the best in the genre, nothing in any other game is more life like... probably has something to do with 100% motion capture in this game.

2nd why did you feel the need to make another one of the post... There are literally 10+ of these already...

3rd of all why am I wasting my time talking to the troll/gutter trash of the forum world.... man too tired night forum ppls.

ok ao i watch both. Honestly i saw no difference. both sets of ws follow the same pattern of repeating moves. Honestly there is only so many ways to swing a weapon. As for effects I perfer the toned down ones in ffxiv. Iron tempest looked kool in ffxiv.

Even though its a troll topic, some insight:

1. The Animations are perfectly fine.
2. It's likely the PARTICLE EFFECTS being referred to, as XI has better PEs than XIV does, but XIV also has some better looking ones than XI.

The third tier of WS's added (2008 or so) - So yeah, particle effects can be flashier and they already acknowledged it but they have more important matters to deal with.

the effects in ffxi covered what the animation looked like. I hated that. Also when you got 6 or more ppl doing ws in ffxi it can lag up. I had to turn off effects in aby. 18 ppl ws was horrific.

The best WS in FFXIV is Pug final attack it look so bad ass.

Umm no. FF11 Weapon skills are more graphically appealing. That's what this game is lacking. Particle affects? I can care less. I can guarantee you 80% of the player base who wanted a new game would want better, stronger, bigger, flashier, sky filling, mind blowing animations.

Dont get me wrong FF14 has maybe 2 GOOD animations and 1 being Arrow Helix. Why is it that they put more effort into that weaponskill and shat on all the others?

Must have had a crapy PC, its sounds like my XBOX360 out beasted your rig. Time for upgrade?
