Too many flashy abilities?

[Tobalito]

From someone who wanted faster animation in combat I am solo pleased ATM only thing I ask is maybe a when I pull off a combo cause it is a little harder to tell. People have to realize that with faster combat chances are we won't have pure tank n spanks like ffxi had (I love that game but let's be real now) everyone isn't gonna be on top of one mob, and also we won't be fighting little tiny squirrel

Notifier* is what I meant to say before combo lol

Yea, the indicator for combos are a little small. The little yellow box.

I like it. It matches the style of the more recent final fantasy games and maintains the speed and fps that we want. If anything, have an option in settings to lower the particle effects.

I do have to say weapon skill animations aside I think other animations are a little much imo

Like hitting sprint always has like a glass breaking animation when it wears off, why?
For how often you hit sprint it will get very annoying imo lol

And some of the gathering animations and sound is a bit in your face to me. I like my gathering to not sound like heated combat lol

Weapon skills and spells dont seem bad to me tho. just the other animations that I mentioned are a bit much but thats just my opinion. ^_^

In the new video he's only level 15 or something.. yet I see a lot of really obvious and flashy stuff happening, maybe it's too much (lancer)? I wonder how it will look at 50 especially in PVP. Will we know what's going on, or will it be overwhelming? I like cool-looking abilities, but not everything needs huge graphics.

I agree with your comment; we definitely want flashy but there are too many swirly things going on that cover up the flashy that we are looking for. The Black and Yellow swirly effect looks outta place. We just want the WS itself to be flashy not the effect around the character indicating we used one; we know.

I actually think that the black and yellow swirly thing was the slug's attack, the one where they string goo all over you. Rather, instead of black, we get a golden-glow/aura for a very brief moment when we activate a WS, if that's what you're after.

i'm not a big fan of what i've seen as far as abilities/WS go thus far either. i'm especially discouraged with how they sound. very tinny, similar and annoying.

Apparently there is just no winning. You are damned if you do and damned if you don't. I like the spells and moves, they could always use improvement, which is why I have no criticism towards this post. What we need is some really awesome move, flashy isn't all that bad, but for the flashyness to make sense to what they are, like what you pointed out earlier, maybe AoE being full body animations.

Most of the flashiness is caused by the slugs... How do people not notice this?
