    LAG ffxiv was set up to be have 15 member groups if we had gaudy ws we would lag up pretty bad. I like the ones in ffxiv. I'm not big on flashy skills that look awesome but the damge being poor.

    Do becareful what you ask for. If we end up with a laggy game ima be peeved. I had to keep turning off my effects while doing aby just because of the lag of 18 ppl spaming ws and casting spells.

    PS and sorry to be mean, but we already got a few topics pointing out ffxi ws are "better" then ffxiv. You guys gotta stop being stuck in ffxi. Its kinda annoying at this point.
    15 Members? From the last letter released by the producer, it looks as if developers are gearing FF14 to be even more 'solo' than it is already now. Aren't they actually reducing the number of total party sizes for group quests in the future? With smaller party sizes, I think they can bump up the flash. I think?

    those skills are an eyesore. Why are they so inundated with flashy, irrelevant lights and symbols and crap?

    Like ew. Have some taste. Whatever happened to subtlety and beauty.

    I'm laughing pretty hard at how a sword hit does more damage than an explosion visible from space.

    The vanilla weaponskills.
    I would love skills with the variety that these have, not necessarily the same flashes/symbols. I think that is what a lot of people would like. They do not want to see 5 moves with vertical flashes with variations of light effects. We want different body postures, different attack patterns, it makes us enjoy a battle more. If they can implement things that go along these lines I am sure a majority of people would be happy. Does not have to be "Flashier" just changes in character movement/attack pattern would be sufficient.

    As for that link again, your making me remember over 5 years ago. Good times. (not that FFXIV is not)
