dev1037 battle effects need a lot more than a resize

And neither do you. Where is your proof that they are or what the new ones look like? I'm just innocently assuming because I have that right?

Resizing clearly means they're paying attention to the fact animations need a change and there will no doubt be more done than resizing of the particle effects (a lot of magic in general is just "small") -- it's like them saying they'll add new areas and people expect them to not add NPCs or music simply because they didn't mention it.

However, a lot of FFXIV's effects are more on the "real" side because of mocap they did for animations, whereas FFXI's focus on the particle effects because the animations themselves were very plain.

How about battle sounds? I'd like to have grunts and screams when hitting or being hit instead of mutely swinging my axe. How about the barbaric yawp marauder ability? You'd think there should be some form of shouting but there isn't.

So you are telling me you rather take "RL" animations like these :

Over Fantasy animations (with a mix of RL movement but more epic and ALIVE) like every game should have like these:

:50 seconds are bad ass archer animations

If I want to ever play a game that's based off of RL... I would burn my gaming career and continue on with my own RL, I feel that might be more enjoyable...

If you ask me, the XIV animations look a lot better. Problem is that THERE ARE ONLY THREE FOR LIKE TWENTY SKILLS!

I don't recall ever saying what I prefer.
