A File Request.

Ok, I have an interesting problem. I've recently picked Blu back up to level it as a Drg mage sub. And for the hell of it I played around, wanting to cast a spell just because it's my favortie spell animation. You know, the arm motion thing.
So I just got out of being a whm in Kazham, so there I am, sitting by the nomad moogle in my swimsuit. (Nothing else would fit me for the level my Blu was.) I cast cocoon....and...no arm motions. No nothing. I see the progress bar moving, but Eviticus just stands there. Now, you know how when they are casting, their arms are out infront. And when you finish casting, there is the spell animation and a bit of movement, right? Well when it hits that part, still no arm movement, but I am surrounded by the spell animation, and my clothes flutter as if in a gust of wind, as they normally do when casting a spell.
Hmmm, I says to me, what could possibly have caused this? Then, I think back. When ToAU came out, my /sit dat files were over-written. And since I replaced them, I haven't used Blue Mage. Some how the two are connected? To test this out, if someone could find a way to share with me their UNALTERED .dat files -post- ToAU (I have backups when I very first installed them, but I didn't make extra backups after ToAU. I thought they were the same files anyways.)
I will give you the file pathways so you can find them.
PlayOnline/SquareEnix/Final Fantasy XI/ROM/51/92.dat
PlayOnline/SquareEnix/Final Fantasy XI/ROM/51/89.dat
PlayOnline/SquareEnix/Final Fantasy XI/ROM/123/72.dat
PlayOnline/SquareEnix/Final Fantasy XI/ROM/123/69.dat
Those 4 are the only files I have changed. So I repeat, if you have -not- screwed with your dat files, I'd love to have a copy of those to see what in fact is wrong.
