I saw the ffxiv water... that looks real. The reason I know it does is I live near port towns in mass. The ocean is not rocky really. waves are not huge. Only time a wave is huge is during strong winds. or in rocky coves. The waves I seen look like stuff I see in boston, newbury port, salsbury, hampton. Even ffxi water was really that rocky. And only reason the boats seems to move was it was faster in ffxi, boats in ffxi were "machine powered" where i believe the bosts in ffxiv are wind powered? which moves slower. Trust me when your on a wind power boat in the middle of the ocean it really hard to tell if your moving or not.
