game designers be like: NO! REBUILD YOUR PARTY IF YOU DON’T LIKE SUMMON ANIMATIONS! WE WILL NOT PUT A SKIP BUTTON IN!!!
Comment on I wonder what game they're trying to play

honestly I don’t hate it as a decision. there should be rewards for using all the mechanics well

I forget which game, but it had two different durations of summon/cast. The first time was always the long one, then youd regularly get the short one, youd randomly “crit” and get the long one, which did more damage.
