Quality wise, obviously the tech demo is greater though. For example, the water from the Project Rapture video is way better, and also the shadows and plants, and what not. But that area from the tech demo would translate poorly into the game we have now, and it wouldn't look half so great I'm sure.
Limsa is nice when you're walking between buildings, inside the builds just look like caves. The whole "city build on the sea" is lost entirely the second you go inside a building. Whereas in that video there's glass, different parts intersect with other parts (i.e. that walkway running along top of what looked like a market area). It just looks a lot more visually impressive plus half the cool looking places in limsa you can't even get to.
