Extreme disappointment in Melee Animation

[Elexia]

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.

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?

you mean effects animation = character movements.
And honestly I perfer ffxiv over ffxi. I hate gaudy explotions from completely out of no where.

like I said there are only so many ways to swing a weapon. And ffxi also had repeated character animations more notable were sword skills. First 3 had the same aninmation.

And honestly the animation imo are fine considering they are done through motion capture and not artificialy created. ppl are forgeting that. And I find it annoying that they did. And having articitial movement mixed will look off.

Must be why Yoshi himself said they're boring and they intend on improving them. Got any more rose tinted glasses lying around?
