Is it me or the whole graphic quality was way better in 1.0 ? I didn't play 1.0 but everytime I see pictures of it I find it way more beautiful than what the game looks like now.

A little example that I found on Google by just typing FFXIV 1.0 :



The lighting seems better, the shadows look better, the hair looks like actual hair, the textures seem to look better too. Looks like an upgraded version of what we have here. Wtf happened ?
