    I always thought TERA's graphics looked amazing. Dat landscape. I've been watching this guy Terabubi stream TERA the past few days and I have to say it's pretty mind blowing to watch from a graphics perspective alone.
    Streaming normally tends to blend things a lot. TERA's graphics aren't bad per se, but the characters and environments are, in standard with korean productions, quite low-poly. They lack effects like normal mapping, textures are quite simple, and generally the whole graphical presentation is quite a few notches below FFXIV.

    It's not the worst by any measure of imagination, but it doesn't even get near the best.

    Drama is what makes things memorable? Do you really want to play every single thing safe, without evena moment's conflict? Where would Eorzea be without the Garlean Empire?

    Every story needs a conflict, including ours. There's never enough of it in the FFXIV I play.
    I am for serious.

    There's an humongous difference between drama in the story and drama/bitching/grudges/personal attacks/hate/general misconduct between players.

    The difference is that one is boring and more suited to a single player game (conflict created by developers) and the other is forever changing and much more interesting and is in tune with the concept of an MMO.

    I wonder if you actually ever saw a MMORPG/online game with a politics system in action. Because you'd probably change your mind.

    You mean that ladies should show 1% of their skin? Because I'm not sure I could identify anything else of note between TERA's aesthetics.

    EVE Online's atmosphere is not something I want in XIV. :P

    EVE online doesn't even have a sanctioned political system. Most of the politics in the game, while encouraged by the developer, are player driven. It's a completely different cup of tea (while equally populated by the most horrible drama queens).

    You want Drama? Come to Besaid. We have Roleplay Guilds here with a fair share of drama whores. I prefer to slap them around when they act up, though...so PVP, please. :P
