Speed up animations

[Michiel]

Getting pretty tired of the endless self-buff animations such as Spellstrike etc., is there any way to disable them or speed them up ?

There's a fast-forward toggle in the top right of the screen during battles.

Yea I know but it's still slow IMHO.

If you look in the options, there's something that will standardise the passive animations and that makes it a lot faster

i tried going back to regular speed and everything felt like it was going in slow bullet time LOL

You mean setting Auto Skill Animations to Simple, right ? I already did that.

Only other thing I can really "recommend" is using Cheat Engine and upping the game speed to 2~3x speed.

"Why 2~3x?":
From what I've noticed, once you get above 4x, you'll start to notice a brief pause where the game's thinking about what to do. This doesn't seem to improve at all with higher game speed (might just be my PC, though).
Further, once going over 3x speed, I find myself occasionally pressing a button "too long" for the game and it skips over what I'm trying to do. This causes me to have to be extra careful to avoid doing so, or else I end up periodically having to go back and correct, which wastes time (nullifying the extra speed).

Personally, I think 2.5x speed is my personal sweet spot, but your mileage may vary.
If you're doing stuff with the story, 1.5x would still be good because the animations and voice lines will still match up more or less.

This, but even with increased speed the animations are roughly the same speed. There's a reason for this that someone had explained to me, but either way it's annoying.
