Lackluster Graphics in FFXIV

[nibelunc]

I actually saw this and couldn't wait to see it, but here it is, coming up on 8 months after this gear was "introduced" and we still haven't seen anything other than the usual copy+paste+recolor of the gear...aside from the NM gear which adds a small amount of flash, but it is nothing compared to what people have come to expect from a Final Fantasy game. I want the gear that was leaked, but I'm afraid it just isn't coming soon enough.

That's because they are to busy with implementing useless things and enlarging monster sizes.
But i'm sure you saw the battle system video with the new WS animations. They really look cool, don't they?

Edit: Btw, I checked some screenshots and you are right, water and some other textures dont look nice. But the character design and gear graphics are awesome. The potential is great.

What leaked gear?

What leaked gear?

the gear that was listed in the letter. I call it "leaked" because we haven't seen anything more than concept drawings of it
