I'm kinda blown away how much better it looks. Really encouraging.

To the people saying the cathedral doesn't look very FF-like: I think it actually reminds me a lot of FFIX. It feels like something from Burmecia. Just because it's a little "foggy" and not as crisp as what we're used to that makes you think of WoW.

For the people complaining about the lower graphical standards for 2.0: Where have you been? We all knew that the graphics would be lower in 2.0 in order to help optimize the architecture and reduce lag. The graphics might be lower than current, but I think it has a lot more character. The current version just feels sort of "sterile" most of the time.

I don't see where the choco is jumping (half awake) I see it running across the bridge in long strides tho.

I like how they are trying to WoW-ish everything, maybe the FFXI fanboys will finally leave.

I know, right?

In all seriousness though 2.0 launch is going to be a time where people have to decide if they like how things have changed and if they want to stay. Be prepared to see tons of whining/quitting posts up to and shortly after launch.

Personally I see nothing WoW-ish about it other than maybe the fact that it actually uses some vibrant colors for once.

Have to admit, very impressed so far. (Did a double-take at the Chocobo's in the air )

Really hoping the video maintains the thrill these screenshots have delivered, also as some have mentioned, I definitely feel some of the areas (specifically where the Galka was jumping) have a reminiscence of towns in older FF games.

Can't wait!

Bah that sucks. My dreams of seeing the city Ishgard (in tact) have been crushed.

they didnt have enough time to develope it so they decided to destroy ishgard by damalud. story wise of course ;D

^^ im also a bit disappointed by that..


i have to admit, too that the graphics seem to be more weak. i mean look at the drg armor now and then. it doesnt seem that "reflective" and shiny anymore.

BUT.. and there is the BUT. there are much more details in the environment and no copy paste like now

thought i should point out the Female Roegadyn's LONG HAIR in the concept art.
