Too many flashy abilities?

[casker]

Nope, you're bored, and others are too. Maybe I watched the wrong video or something, please direct me to one where the effects take up the entire screen and doing all this stuff you claim.

And you're SE defense force.

Go watch the alpha battle video lancer section.

I didn't say you were bored at all.

You have a really bad memory.

And boredom is irrelevant. We should be glad that people have the time to bring up various concerns.

Wow, butthurt SE defense force no criticism allowed

The flashiness is way too much. Even gathering turns you into a supersaiyan. Some of the abilities take up the entire screen. Now imagine being in a party.

they just need to make some of the FX smaller.

Oh yeah for sure that's what i was thinking too. In another forum i posted "Super Saiyan" comment as well about just using the sprint ability. I feel it's too flashy for such a low level. I did like the conservative feel to 1.0 honestly compared to this. and yeah in 1.0 they could have been a little more flashy...but only just barely in my opinion.

Wrong and your welcome to your opinion but lets just go to single action attacks o wait thats boring as hell SE is doing a fine job there are enough people on here complaining about things no your attacking their animations. This is Final Fantasy its suppost to be unique and badass thats why we like it.

These are changes we wanted and pleaded for, more animations in both magic and fighting. I see nothing wrong with the videos. All they do is encourage me back into the game i love so much.

Having different animations for each type of skill/magic is important for other team members so they recognize the moves so they in return can act accordingly and choose what skill/magic they want to put on top of that. Instead of reading a chat on the side like you did in XI you see it in animations. And to me, that is a very nice way to move forward.

[casker]

more and different animations =/= take up the entire screen even on single target attacks and chakra energy charges even when gathering

they can add more animations and be far more expressive as to what's actually happening than just "give it a giant energy blast"

It's Japan's specialty.

The idea is to think about how it'll look in a group. He's level 15 and doing all that I have to wonder how much more it'll be at 50.

also, combat is faster and people will be attacking with more frequency. mathematically there is just going to be a cluster***k of overly giant effects on the screen

I think if the old style wasn't broken they would not be fixing it..i like the way its changing and it might not mean super-ohgod-duper-mega-flashly skills will get bigger and more flashly as lvls go up but maybe add the feel of power to the attack rather then...poof damage out
