Dev1037 Enhancement of Battle Effects

[Lahru_Hukurou]

I'm really glad to hear more from the dev team. Helps me get more of a feel for them and all. Really am thinking that this game is going to shape up very nicely ^__^

Sound great maybe it feel more like a Final fantasy game with better looking WS,Spell and maybe there fixing the copy/paste issue also.

Not a fan of the new size at all... Poking a monster with a spear now results in a titanic explosion of pyrotechnics. This, in combination with the monster size increase, makes me feel like an insect armed with a bazooka. It's kind of getting ridiculous.

I personally love what they've done. It's a fantasy after all. The effects are noticeable, but not to big. It's great, and I love it! I don't get why you don't, but I guess everyone has their own opinions, and likes.

Think back to FF I-IX and remember the slash/stab marks on enemies. Its kinda like that now i'd say.

This has WIN written all over it

Seriously who in the hell decided to do this with battle effects. This is retched. These effects can turn people with no history of seizure or strokes into blithering drooling idiots. All I see on my friggin screen is explosions of light. This a horrible change. The community asking for better effects didn't mean just increase the damn size.

In even a 4 man party you can barely see the damn mob, now in an 8 man prty is a damn 70's disco show going off with each attack

• Yank the friggin flashes off attacks
• Replace flashes with more unique animations
• Add better spells effects, not larger ones

I have loved nearly all the changes the new team has done, but this is just stupid.

readed anything of dev's post, right ?

As expected, the changes were bad. good skill animations like concussive blow II and brutal swing II animations now are just covered by the extremely oversized battle effects. What a shame. But its just this dev team pattern...we got:

-Bigger monsters
-Bigger Rank up message
-Bigger battle effects
-Bigger HP/MP/TP gauges
-faster gathering animations (well, faster = when you make speed bigger =P)

Seens like making stuff bigger is the way of them to fix things...so don't complain about lalafells or they might resize them too! ><

^I thought this was very funny lol.

Really; I think the bigger effects are not so bad. Maybe it just wasn't needed on all the spells and effects in game. The same can be said for the monsters in game. Some look really awesome bigger others like are uh that's odd. As a THM/Con I like the bigger effects. Before the effects as a whole looked much to watered down. however, whats good for some isn't good for all and some of the effects on the non magical roles of the game may look overdone. Then again this is Final Fantasy we are playing, The namesake just screams overdone. That apart from the great storyline's are what make the games as good as they are. It's that over the topness that makes a person enjoy each and every spell in one of their more single player games. Think about it..The huge swords, the magic, the impossible summons, that scene in X where the party all rode down the cables to stop the wedding the list go's on and on from 1-13 all way over the top but also so very awesome.
As a whole I like the changes and we know the battle system is a work in progress. I for one can't wait to see whats up coming with the new system, effects, and jobs.
