Press and player reactions to the new XIV

Uhn... I have very bad eyesight and little to no attention for detail...
Care to explain?

The UIs are exactly the same. Cast bars, ally spells, ally HP/MP, the character's TP, etc.

Oh... Well, if you notice the mini-map... It is virtually the same too, except in the first screen the view cone is aimed north, in the second aimed south, but none of the markers has moved either.
The Coeurl's HP bar in the first picture has a sign that the monster is currently in the instant it takes damage, notice how the pre-damage value of the bar lines up with the value of the bar in the second image. Also notice how it says Dragonfire Dive on both for Kain (i'm sure you already noticed that).
That is quite literally the same fight, less than perhaps a single second between each snapshot, he's executing Dragonfire Dive on both shots.

It... Actually does looks legit for me.
