The proposed change to increase size is good for right now. But we want to see 3D polygonal battle effects. All the buffs in FFXIV look great:

-Protect
-Shell
-Stoneskin
-Rampart
-Effect of getting hit through protect

Great effects!

All offensive magic effects look flat and 2D.. resize isn't going to fix it. Please redesign it to look like great 3D elemental magic.. this is 2011 for Christ's sake! We don't want SNES graphics again now! We've been imagining great spell effects since the 1980's.. come on! Look at this stuff right here:
