Meleena, the 2005 tech-demo was not a showcase of pre-rendered CGI cinematics. It was real-time in-game footage showcasing SE's engine... but that was 5 years ago... what happened since then?
Lackluster Graphics in FFXIV

Until you can prove to me that somehow what they showed back then was playable you have no point.
Keep entertaining me please. -

Still no point in your comments, since youre comparing a video to actual gameplay content.
Anything else you wanted to add? -

I, for one, absolutely love graphics of FFXIV. I think they are beautiful, colorful and very atmospheric.
I think that the sky palettes and HDR effects are the absolute best I've ever seen in any game - sets a real example on how to do HDR effects properly. Eats Crysis for breakfast - in terms of sky effects etc. -

I LOVE XIV graphics it's the visual design of the fields that lacks any imagination whatsoever.
How about you add some of that fantasy in this Final Fantasy game SE? -

XIV needs creativity, atm it looks horrible. -

I think the real villain here is the level of detail distance, especially in Limsa those cliffs are blurry as shit unless you are close.
