Old Weather Animation Graphics - What do you like more in the Old Version of FFXIV?

[Tonkra]

Dont get me wrong, most of the things are better in the new Version of FFXIV. But sometimes i remember those times.. as a legacy player...

having these great weather effects and sounds.. wide open world regions. of course mostly there was not much to see except realistic environments.

But thats what i did like about Final Fantasy XIV.. it felt organic and real.. and it had a huge OpenWorld.



I would love it.. if they could get back these great weather animations. I mean the sky.. the thunder and all. What we do have now looks very cartoonish in my opinion. far away from being real.


Do you also think there is a possibility to get rid of loading screens and put all regions together to an openworld when they end the support for the ps3? Seems very unlikely huh?


Weather in "ARR":





Weather in 1.0.:




(And i mean look at these bump map textures on the ground.. these stones.. they do look like little "pimples"):





Especially in the video you can see how much more superior and qualitative the old weather system looked like.. :
