The 2.0 screens are gorgeous. I would take them over 1.0 any day of the week.





No. It's clearly a downgrade. Still pretty though.


Yeah, there is a downgrade in textures. I play current XIV on standard and textures look better. However, the overall direction of the art as well as the real-time lighting make 2.0 > current version visually IMO.
I actually began to notice the downgrade in texture quality a long time ago, starting with the AF gear. Tanaka-era gear is typically highly detailed with clearly defined textures. Whereas with the AF gear and even retextures of the old gear to make new gear (like Explorer's Tunic, new GC Tabard, Crimson Sash, etc.) there's a lot less detail on the cloth itself, it's more flat color than texture.
Guessing they've been transitioning to make it easier on the new engine this whole time. Smart.

Depends if you think the new lighting engine doesn't add alot of depth to the game.
I do hope that the detailed textures we all love will be there for the players who can power their machines for em. If not I might be messing with some .dat mods for HQ textures again...



Graphics are great.
And SE need to turn on AA they did this last time with AF weapons lol
