dev1037 battle effects need a lot more than a resize

And for heaven's sack stop with these idiotic quick fixes that solve absolutely nothing

This is a rather good fix for what it accomplishes. Same for monster size increase. Yeah, it may not be enough, but it's much more than "nothing" for sure- and takes a lot less resources to accomplish than "AXE EVERYTHING AND REMAKE THEM EVEN IF IT'S NOT NECESSARY". Their whole team is at work, you are not losing anything if one animator has had the time to do this while they work on the other, more substantial stuff.

You know what.... I take back what I said. It's better that SE just keeps its mouth shut, because obviously they are just sitting on their hands with FFXIV.

Obviously, as nothing takes time in game development.

Actually it's evident to anyone that has a bare minimum of ability to use logic (complemented by simply reading dev forum) that they're not sitting on their hands.

Of course there will always be those with an agenda to spread negativity, that will rage at every change that doesn't prove to be the be all, end all solution to all the game's problems.

6 months after releasing a game in development for 5 years. Tell me, what do they have to show for it?

I've noticed that some moves look like they are double or triple attacks but only do one attack worth of damage. I think SE should fix that when they have the time.

Personally I'm dissapointed that this is how they are trying to handle the "Flaring up" of skills. The magic solution to all your problems isn't "make it bigger I guess" I would rather see some real spell effects happen, in XI and most games even low tier spells feel like they have some oomph to them.

I'm not a spell-caster but really? Making it bigger wont make it any better and probably make some spells like rather silly in the long run. Stoneskin is going to throw up a massive stone-wall now....Shock spikes the same....Any "spikes" spell is now going to look stupid.

is anyone going to argue against this?

Quite a lot more than what's shown by forum goers that think they know better.

Namely, a game that's improving quite visibily with every patch.

That people are angry? lol.

I am also disappointed that they're handling the "User Interface" problems by just making aggro icon smaller. That's all they will ever do regarding that feature, because we just received a post concerning it.

Do they honestly think that showing us monster rank will fix the UI? Herpderp
