We're 6 days into April now. Easter is the 24th. The patch has to be coming out sometime within the next week or two. And before that happens we have to get more information on it.

$10 says the info/screenshots on the new patch starts pouring out over the next few days.

Heya!

"uuuh they have shown only one thing, so they only worked on that thing! Pathetic!"
F*CKING NO! That's not what it means!
If you don't remember what the 1.17 and 1.17a are about, I'd suggest to check out!

I quote for truth that the enlargement of magic effects is not satisfactory for the fixing of skills animations, but I'm sure they are working on that right now, and as a hotfix they are going to amplify some magics. I can understand that; you can't release new animation effects in so little time.

See ya!

*sigh* If only some would understand this. Changing the visuals will take a lot longer than making the effects 2x bigger. The quick "fix" helps the current underwhelming visuals a bit.

Having a friend that regularly makes particle effects in Afterburn and other programs without a server farm I can tell you no they don't take that long.

Then people would complain and say "Why is SE spending time on visuals when the gameplay sucks! SE you fail all hope is gone off to GW2!" Making the effects bigger is a lot faster than redoing all the spells right now(since it's not a main priority). When we get better magic visuals better WS animations may also come with it. They would also have to come up with different varieties of how spells could look before they just slap something together(unless they just copy/paste from other FF games).

Seriously, only a size increase? Majority of the spells' effect are so lame that mere size increase will not fix the problem.

I sure hope that this is just a temporary solution, and that they are going to upgrade the effects in the near future.

Having a friend that regularly adds cool rainbow colors to stuff on "Paint" i know that special effects don't take long to add. Motion Capture animation is so easy to do for realistic animations and everything. Hey, my friend even does some cool "Claymation" stuff too. He uses neon pipe cleaners and a black light to make them look like light sabre battles.

Can't wait to see what else SE comes out with. I never really had a problem with the visual effects of the abilities. When I first started playing I was like, hmmmm, that's what a flame ball really looks like, cool. Wasn't expecting every Melee WS to include a flip, spin, backflip, spinning weapon super fast or charging, so I was pretty happy with those too.
