I think the only reason I still play FFXIV is because of the art style. If the developers are serious about glowing weapons and more "heavy fantasy" styled gears, then I might find myself liking the game less and less.

I think if this game looked like TERA, then it would need to play like TERA too. TERA looks like crap and thank heavens for the combat and political systems because they're its only redeeming feature.

I'm glad FFXIV doesn't look like TERA. If anything, I wish TERA looked like FFXIV so I could play TERA and have the best of both worlds.
