dev1037 battle effects need a lot more than a resize

[Ilean]

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.
