You realize you're linking to artwork from YOSHITAKA AMANO when the designer for XIV was AKIHIKO YOSHIDA, right? Amano just did a few illustrations promoting the game, he was hardly related to the project.

Still more colorful/varied than what we have.

Can you please stop referencing concept art and use actual photographs or screenshots? The artwork you keep posting are mere exaggerations of the things that they actually represent.

If you say so but it doesn't really help your point.

Personally I like the color scheme in FFXIV, but then again I have always been a more earth-tone girl. I agree that maybe it could do with a bit more color, in the form of plants and such.

But not everyone is going to like the style or coloring of FFXIV, that is a simple fact that can not be disputed. Games are art, and art is in the eye of the beholder... it's like saying

'Well it's a Picasso, everyone HAS to love Picasso. He's famous!'

But not everyone likes Picasso.

So not everyone has to like FFXIV's color theme.

But lets see where they take it, they are adding in dungeons, beastmen areas, more camps etc... maybe that will add something to it. :)

I like everywhere but the cities in terms of color. The landscapes are reasonably varied but then you get to the city and it's all 2/3 muted colors (green, brown, gray).

Totally agree. And I also agree that this game uses a lot of earthy-tones. What I think a few people fail to realize is that the world is supposed to be organic. You look at armor, cloth, tools, etc., and notice that they all have a hand-made, rugged feel to them. You can see the fibers in cloth, the ruggedness of metal, tools, etc. The color palate is a little on the neutral side, but helps reflect the organic look effectively.

Organic blue
Organic red
A bunch of organic colors.
Painting made with organic paint/dye.
Moar organically dyed fiber

EDIT: Eye blazing natural dyes.

The game has plenty of color. The last thing it needs is cartoony bright colors like WoW (... and Tera).

All people are doing is messing up FFXIV for the rest of us by asking for the most dumbest thing then they quit and join other game and the people who really enjoy it are stuck with it at the end.

No, the game doesn't look great. The colors are all pale and muted, making the game look drab. The spells have a better palette somewhat, but they're all still white, gray, and brown mixed in with element color of the spell in a heterogeneous blob. Combat animations are equally boring.

People are asking for better visuals because eye candy is ALWAYS good and lack of eye candy makes a game dull. And because ultra realistic color palette that only has brown, gray, and muted green in it is not Final Fantasy at all.

But I guess you're one of those people who poopoos ideas before you even look into them a little deeper. Not to worry though, I made you an easy to follow flowchart that will get you going on what it means to analyze ideas.

You're quite guilty of this yourself.

to many rainbows and unicorns is a bad thing if you know what i mean. no offense. But I think the FFXIV team should make the magics spells, ability skills, and combo look more amazing and flashy. I want it to be like "now that is kick ass!" and not "wow thats pretty"

Indeed. I just got rank 24 on Conjurer. I was excited, because I got Fire/Blizzard/etc II.
And they look mostly the same as their basic counterpart. I was really expecting something more...flashy.

Ok so first we had ppl wanting a WoW clone, then an ffxi clone, then a WoW/ffxi hybrid, then a rift clone, now a tera clone.

This isnt aimed at 1 person but the mass of posts saying "but WoW/ffxi/rift/tera/insertothermmoclonehere does this so ffxiv should" makes me think that ffxiv and all future mmos should just jump on the band waggon and never evolve

When i said FFXIV look good i mean how great the game look not the coloring So please don't be rude am not a kid who can't see what people are asking for. All am saying is we don't need it to look like a coloring book more coloring yes but not bight/rainbow color everywhere. Cassiopeia Hollow is one area that can show you what they can do with coloring but making everything look like that would also look weird more color yes please bight/rainbow no thanks.

Btw i see more then just 3 color that all you people are talking about the 3color you see ya it 75+% of the area but i see more then just that. Maybe the new map fix can do this or maybe they should just add zone like in ffxi so we could have more color in each one zone.

Wolfie, The pony in http://i53.tinypic.com/fyk4cp.png looks like its fallon over and has a long neck. Also why does it have balloons on its arse.?

Actually if you had bothered to read the first post -- which I have now quoted -- you'd see that more colors is exactly what people are asking for. Take the time to read and think about what people are saying.

Why not? Pinkie Pie is the best pony ever.

No use complaining about something that is never going to change. There are certain things we will just have to accept about this game. I don't think we will ever see major changes to the graphics or the environments, slight improvements perhaps but nothing to big.

Pretty sure Yoshi-P mentioned they're eventually going to redo a lot of the world.

I have to say, I like the fact that the game has pretty gentle colors. Makes my travels nice and my adventures awesome.
At least, it's a break for when I play this.

Bomberman 64's Disco Mode in FF14, go!

Ponies are awesome, shut up.

I suggest everyone who thinks they need more color take a pic and photoshop it then post it here and we can vote on if the original or the new "colored" picture is better. Get to editing!

lol Guess I'd rather be playing this if that was the case....

Let's also do a test. Go to google.com. Is the white super white or a dim off white. Adjust your video settings till white is actually white and the game should look much more colorful. Don't forget that at night and morning just like in real life the sun is not fully risen making objects look darker and less vibrant since there is not as much light.

It's pretty blinding white, but in-game the colors are still dull for the most part. Especially Ul'dah/Thanalan/clothing.

ya no kidding. And ffs why does it seem like its night time 80% of the time. Its hard to appreciate the game when the actual in game lighting is so dark so often that u cant even see your character or monsters. IMO when a game resorts too close to real life lighting in many instances is too hide flaws or cut corners. I shouldnt have to adjust the brightness and colors on my monitors according to the time of day it is in game so i can enjoy actually looking at the game.

Don't knock it unless you've played it... It's actually better than XIV(not hard to be better)....

I am siting at camp horizon right now. The dirt is.. well, dirt colored. should it be barbie pink? the flowers are a nice vibrant red and the grass patches are green. The sky is a beautiful blue and the aetheryte is straight up bling bling. Adjust your settings kids. Your holding the game back, not SE.

People don't care if it look real they just want more colors then green and brown.

I really don't mind it but it is 80% of the time night time o.o

That is how the game is designed. Go play Mario Paint or Pocket Monsters.

Let's compile a list of all the colors we know in the game so far. Ill start with.

White is the presence of all colors?
&
Black is the absence of color?

So we can say that the game has all colors but yet at the same time has no color. hmmmmmmmmmmmmm I see the problem here.

One of the reasons I don't like TERA is because it is too colourful.

I like FFXIV's palette and artistic style.

Stop comparing games its getting old.

If you like Tera better then go play it.
