Hm I am not sure.. But how should it look better AND work better on low PCs at the same time?
However, I really like it. I WANT 2.0 NOW!

If people have any questions based on these please let us know and we can see what we can work into our interview tomorrow. Here's our topic on these images: http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/forums/...=14683#p331039

I was/am anti-jumping, but I'm certainly not stubborn about it.

If it is well implemented and relevant to the game, I'll be behind it 100%.



Also, the NPC chat boxes (as seen in delivery Moogle SS) are reminiscent of those in FFIX. I really like them!

My guess is all these Screenshots will be taken on Standard settings, Highest will be 2x higher resolution I bet like in FFXIV now.

Wait, I just realised...

Unique casting animations? That might be a new unique pose/animation for Burst or something. Either way, I hope there's actually a reason to weild a staff instead of having it glued to my back all the time.

I really hope you can put more then 2 bars on your screen because in WoW I play with 5 bars.

One of the biggest problems I have with the UI in 1.X is the fact I can't see when my abilities are coming off cooldown due to only being able to see 1 bar. If I can only see 2 bars then I will have the same problem with not being able to see when stuff is ready to use.

Silly question, but is this concept art or actual in game footage?

I'm thinking that's CG from the trailer

The moogle holding his giant bag precariously is so adorable. And the new NPC text box looks great.

Armorer Artifact Gear??? Flippable visor means it'll be possible on other helmets too!
