I still can't believe people would honestly gripe about animations..I never once heard people say "Hey use this WS even if it does little to no damage cuz it's pretty compered to this WS that does more dmg because it has an ugly as sin animation!" >.>

I honestly think things like this bring out the nitpicking in people lol.

There is nothing SE can do that won't cause someone to gripe and bitch, lol.

You're right, WS animations have no point, all WS should just be a normal attack motion with no graphic and nothing to let on it's anything but a normal attack except the notice in the chatlog.

While we're at it, fuck equipment models, fashion doesn't play a role in what the best armor is, all armor should just be the starter RSE models.

You know what? Fuck graphics. FFXI should be a MUD. Get ye relic flask.

So I am wrong for wanting a weapon skill that is both awesome visually and in utility? Guess that's a terrible thing for a gamer to ask for.

Quite frankly, I am fond of Tachi: Kaiten's simple but effective FX, Guillotine's Graphic and Sound FX(love the sound, and it's damage has been pleasant for me over the years), Atonement looks cool as fuck imo, and is actually....**gasp** useful...and the list goes on and on, what is the crime here?

Nitpicking? Perhaps, but you can't sit here and lie to yourself that those new FX animations aren't completely lackluster on the eyes minus maybe two or three. No one here has stated that we will only use a weapon skill based on the fact that it looks "pretty" over effectiveness. Please do not twist people's words.

fuck ya MUDS

People still play FFXI with music animations turned on?

fuck no, when I attack, my character slowly slides forward to indicate that I have done an action against the mob, this is for all other playing characters/npcs as well.
