From watching the gameplay trailer, seeing screenshots and concept art and from reading reviews about the gamescon video, I have to say that I'm impressed. I've been here from the start of beta 1(other than a 4 month break due to a failing computer, though I still paid for the sub) and I believe that the game has come quite a long way from those days of exp caps and sluggish gameplay. From what I've seen, read and heard, there have been very few complaints about the video.
1) The grass- I don't know why people complain about it lol I think it looks great, despite being 2D. I, however, will gladly take 2D grass in exchange for better performance of the engine.
2) Jumping- A couple of friends of mine are old FF vets that were there for FF1's release and they were a little displeased with "free" jumping in this game. However, after seeing it and the way it was implemented, I believe that the implementation of jump and how it fits with the environments was done very nicely. (The "flying" chocobo is a nice touch)
3) Music- A few people are a little upset that some of the music from 1.x is being carried over to 2.0. While I don't see this as a problem, there are those that would like maybe a variation to the current music when it is ported to 2.0.
4) Ishgard- The destruction of Ishgard has a lot of people in a bit of a rage. Many people were hoping to explore the city while it was still standing. I, however, think that making it into a ruin is a very nice touch and I still can't wait to explore it.
Overall, I really like the way the game looks. The battle looks pretty solid, the graphics engine is very crisp, the environments are very nicely designed and there seems to be very little copy+paste. I can't wait to play it. Limit Break ftw!

The music is my only beef. Ishgard was never meant to be a city we can walk around in anyways iirc. It was supposed to be an instance/cutscene hub iirc.

This whole "lol i quit because of grass" thing isn't accurate. A culmination of poor textures = a badly textured game.
Is it so wrong that I want non grainy textures? Really? Most of you would rag on WoW for the graphics, I'm sure. -

I sure am mad about the jackass xenophobic city being destroyed when I have an entire new world to explore. :rolleyes:

Well fine. If it's a crybaby you want, it's a crybabby you shall have.
THE GRASS IS TOO UGLY! JUMPING LOOKS STUPID! IT LOOKS LIKE YOU PULLED THAT TEMPLE FROM WOW! WHY IS THE TERRIBLE MUSIC FROM 1.0 BACK? THE UI LOOKS UGLY! WHY DIDN'T YOU SHOW THE NEW RACES? THESE TEXTURES ARE MUDDY! THE SHADOWS ARE HORRIBLE! WHY ARE YOU STILL GOING BY SUBSCRIPTION IN 2012? DO YOU HAVE TO COPY WOW ON EVERYTHING? WHY DID YOU BRING SOMETHING IN FROM 11? I HATE 11! I WANT CLOUD! I WANT VIERA! I WANT WEAPONS AS SOON AS THEIR RELEASED IN AN ORIGINAL DUNGEON WITH AN ORIGINAL BOSS! NO ONE WILL BUY THIS SE! WHY DO MOBS INSTANTLY DISAPPEAR AFTER KILLING THEM? STOP BREAKING MY IMMERSION! WHERES MY GOLDEN SAUCER SE? YOU SAID THERE'D BE A GOLDEN SAUCER! WHY ARE YOU JUST RIPPING OFF WOW? THE GRAPHICS DON'T LOOK LIKE THE CONCEPT ART!

Don't give two flying pigs over Ishgard, destroy it - I don't care. Grass? Who gives a crap. Game looks great, seems like it plays great, seems like the updates are awesome and highly needed. Anyone who nitpicks over shit just because they have supported S.E for XYZ years or because a minor texture is bad can go play something else. At least we won't have to hear them.
