Battle Animations (Not Effects)

[Col]

That may be nit-picking, but what isn't nit-picking is the lack of flavour in the animations... particularly the weapon skills.

The standard swings look good. I always thought SE did a good job on the ordinary attacks in FFXIV, but the weapon skills are not only bland, but they don't change as you level up.

One of the most exciting things about FFXI was trying out that new weapon skill. Most of the time it was more awesome than the previous. That just isn't the case here in FFXIV and it's a shame.

While I do agree with you on the blandness of the battle effects... There's already a 100 threads about it, and that's not what this one is about. ^^;;
