How Does This Game Have Good Graphics?

[Anima]

Get those horrible graphics out here. Clearly WoW, Rift, SWTOR, TERA, Aio, GW2 has the best looking graphics. XIV graphics suck. I mean why does fabric look like fabric? That makes no sense.

Why is it when you look at the raw model data you can see appropriate lighting and reflection that looks almost borderline metallic? Pft.

The only Issue XIV 1.0 has is the engine wasn't suited for MMOs so it's largely unoptimized (AO will drop FPS for many), but the graphics are perfectly fine in itself.

LOL @ WOW having better graphics. Your relentless assaults on FFXIV are just becoming silly.

Yeah, you know how WOW, Aion, Rift etc is so much colorful than XIV ! Well, colorful = better graphics!

on a side note:
Is this a Sarcasm inside a sarcasm !? Sarcasm-ception !
