any battle animations post-FFVI... i always hated how in the earlier FFs the two teams would stand on opposite sides of the screen and just wave their weapons at each other, it's the main reason i played the Phantasy Star series instead of FF back in the day, i liked how the Phantasy Star characters ran up to their targets to attack them making actual physical contact as opposed to FFI-VI... warrior waves sword from across a field, monster passes out from fright, lame...
