Summary0006720: Knockback is too high.
DescriptionFirstly this is all based off fireball's knockback, but I imagine the same applies to the few other spells with knockback.

But as of late I've been finding that in many of my surface battles with espers I manage to knock them sufficiently high in to the sky that I can't see where they are anymore.

But as a more general point I find that it is rare that knockback does anything but make it harder to aim, it could be a quarter of what it is and still be functional for the occasions when it needs to be (fending off bats is a good one).

Personally I think the feel is about right: having to re-aim after every shot for the flying enemies is not necessarily a negative thing.

I'd say having to re-aim after every shot only for certain spells makes that need a negative aspect of the spell, one that doesn't really need to happen, especially as in theory knockback should be a benefit.

Well, you do have a choice. Either you use a knockback spell and re-aim while keeping the enemy off your back, or use a non-knockback spell and get hit but don't have to re-aim. I've never been a fan of having the best of both worlds, so personally I'm rather pleased with the way it is now.

This is a really good point, Toll. Anyhow, I'll make sure to put in some more non-knockback options.
