For me, yes, the animation SIZE is a problem. However, for me, again, It's more the quality of the effects than the size.. They're lackluster, they come and go and all look the same, there's no difference between casting each spell that's that visible besides a little colour alteration in the animation, I don't feel it's substantial enough a change.

Same for 99% of abilities beyond the spell, it's just not enough to make them bigger. Compare Tier I to Tier II, who see's the difference? Size won't change much.

There's an over-abundance of lackluster spell and ability animations in this game, and while yes, they need to be a bit bigger, it doesn't address the fundamental problem.

However.

If this is Square's first step in a redesign process for animations and battle graphics then, fair enough, great. But they haven't given us any information. Just the mediocrity that is one sample picture and a dev tag for us all to ravage over these damn forums.

Give us some substantial information and stop pussy-footing around with your minute playerbase!!
