The World Graphics - most notably in Limsa Lominsa - are very sub-par.

Light is allowed to shine through walls and objects. Buildings/Landscapes do not cast shadows or reflect on water like they should. The inside of helmets light up when it should be dark.

Repeating textures are worse than in world of warcraft - again, most notably on Limsa Lominsa cliffs.

FFXIV also has some of the ugliest water graphics of any game made in the last 10 years.

I don't understand what happened between FFXIV 2005 and FFXIV 2010...
