Ok ok hang on, I'm going super serious face for a second here.

*ahem*

The OP completely exaggerated the animations in the video. Nothing I have seen took up the whole screen, or blinded me with flashing lights. Frankly there wasn't a single skill I saw that even took up the whole ENEMY. It seems to me the only thing you have a legitimate complaint about is the frequency of the skills, but as that is a built in part of the new system you can kick and scream all you want but it's not going to change.

If ANYTHING, the animations (especially the magic animations) are incredibly underwhelming. The movements haven't even changed since 1.0 for lancer, it's still the same whirl/thrust generic animation, the only thing they changed was the effects that follow. Frankly, even the jump move is exactly the same as doomspike animation.

It's absolutely ridiculous that you can complain about even the particle effects to be honest. They're not bright and shiny, they barely even glow on most of the skills and 1/2 of them are just small, radiating circles around the mob.

If you think what you saw on that video was "Flashy abilities" you CLEARLY have never played a korean mmo. These animations are not anything overwhelming or unreasonable.
