Did squenix make a mistake by investing too much in graphics and not enough in

[Ilean]

It may have been a mistake at the time, but with so many other mistakes along with it, those graphics may end up being its saving grace. By the time other MMOs catch up, XIV should finally be ready for some long-fought praise.

It's the fully-voiced ST:TOR that makes me nervous about new standards, though.

14 graphics aren't that great really. We have very high polycount player character models and that's it. World is standard low count, particle effects are meh, dynamic lighting doesn't exist, DoF and SSAO are broken to hell......

I am the first to agree that it's not about how many polygons you use but about what you do with them but this works for the competition too...

i was soooo excited bout playing tera, thought it be out this year though, lo and be hold though they released a date of fall 2012, sucks, hopefully ffxiv will be in good shape by then, but luckily i play enough hours in a day to enjoy both games. but man i can't imagine not playing this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcuoSPVXKMo&hd=1

anyone know if it possible to even mele bot in a game like this with no target system? i think the 2games ffxi and tera are 2 worlds apart though an most the player base won't hurt it, but in my case i can't wait to see that game in action.
