There is zero defensible reason it should look like this.
>inb4 pbr shit

I don't care. It doesn't need to look like some other game, it needs to look better. Period. Yes, text at the same time as attacks and multi hit moves coming all at once is good. No, it isn't perfect. Not by a long shot.

Fucking Christ. Fucking Xenoblade does it better. FFXIV does it better. Fucking WOW does it better. Pokemon Stadium does it better.
