will 2d grass kill ffxiv?

[Nephera]

I have no idea whether or not OP is being facetious

Here's the truth: yes.

When potential customers are browsing the MMORPG landscape its often the small details that matter. Unfortunately for SE, they have overlooked this very very important small detail. Recent MMORPG market studies have shown that such a detail can have up to a 50% swing in membership base.

Mmmm yes, but did you know that 97.4% of statistics are complete horse-shit and made up on the spot?

I like good graphics. What can I say?

If I see an issue I'll point it out. I'll also commend them for doing something good.

But in the current version the grass is 2D, too. Like paper.
zoom in and you will see

Wow. Just... Wow. This is really happening.

But in all seriousness, it isn't about the grass that will make XIV great or not, but the experience altogether - the big pie once all the pieces are taken account for.

This is what I want everyone to be like. People who are going crazy over textures just BLOW my mind.

maybe if you actually read my posts instead of trying to troll me you would realize that i'm arguing that it won't kill the game. However some people clearly think it will. I do not.

Next time if you want to insult me, maybe you should read what i say first instead of making assumptions based on a title.

Although since you try to insult me in every thread it seems more like you just want my attention.

ok sorry about that, though that doesn't change anything I said, you where the one that posted the question and everything else I said was also true, and sorry you have earned every bit of trolling you get.

There has been some discussion lately about the poor quality of the grass in 2.0. Compared to console games like xenoblade, it doesn't seem up to par. As a result, it seems a few people might just up and quit the game due to the shotty graphics. However I don't believe that 2d grass matters at all. The gameplay looks so amazing that I can't imagine anything being able to kill this game. It looks years ahead of its competitors, and even the jump effect, which will probably be really annoying, looks great. While I still think the endgame and economy is poorly thought-out, it honestly looks like this game will be fun no matter what. Therefore I think that how the grass looks makes absolutely no difference at all. People will play this game just to run around on a chocobo jumping up and down, and to explore what looks to be one of the most beautiful ff worlds ever created. CG trailers aren't even needed. 2 minutes of gameplay is enough to pull anyone to this game. I can't wait to see this game thrive, and I'm sure it will succeed no matter what.

So do you think people will quit because of the poor grass quality?

Even if this game was a 2d scroller people will still play because Yoshi is the second coming of the Messiah and will lead us to the promised land as foretold in my brainz!!11

I'd be willing to bet that 99% of the people didn't even notice the supposedly "bad" grass until they read one of the grass threads.
