[Suggestion]Weapon Individualization Per Non-Native Skill

[Cairdeas]

It's a cool concept, but you're asking the dev team to design unique animations for every spell for every class? Not gonna happen. =| Art is just too expensive. Maybe if there was an easier way, sure.

Not "Every Spell" But just like Every job in FFXI has a different way of casting its magic (Blue, vs White, vs Black, vs Summoning, etc.)

The way a Marauder casts a spell would be different from how a Pugilist Does.

Everyone can equip any spell, they'd have to create an animation for each element, a "support" animation, an "attack" animation, and do this for all of the classes due to unique weapons for them all. In addition, down the line if/when they add new jobs with new classes of magic this problem would compound on itself. Not to mention they'd have to port all of it to a second platform (PS3) which may or may not even be able to handle it.

Kinda were my thoughts. I just don't see it happening in a cost related aspect rather than a good idea. I don't think anyone is in disagreement that this would be a much better way of animating casting and actions. I just don't see SE dishing out the time, money, and effort to make it happen with their full plate of stuff waiting to be adjusted/fixed. Its alot of work.
