will 2d grass kill ffxiv?

I guess I'm pretty late to the party but this grass shit is the funniest thing to hit the forums since cheesecake threads. Just sayin'

Btw you can reduce the amount of grass visible by turning off the draw-distance option in the in-game config. Should help your frame-rates a bit. Might be something to consider if the grass bothers you so.

For the love of God. The video was displayed on low resolutioned video recording so whose to say a legit HD render of gameplay wouldnt look better. Not only that I'm more than cetrain that's not even the highest graphic setting, which, regardless, still looks pretty damn nice. Finally, it's just one damn area of the game! Reserve your judgments until they actually show offiical footage of more areas or when you have the oppritunity to play 2.0 open beta and experience the lay of the land yourself.

Seems like people need to go outside more and ease up. My nieghbors yard looks like fried butthole, but it doesnt seem to stop him from having people over all the time and having fun. If you think this sort of thing is important to the game, you clearly haven't been paying any attention to this game at all.

At launch this game boasted some of the sweetest graphics of any MMO on the market, and we all saw how that turned out for it. If those complaining really thought they were gonna get all this really good shit out of 2.0 without having to give a few things up, how immature are you? Whens the last time you ever got anything in life for free? If this is something you are actually worried about effecting the game and whether or not others will join (never mind the audacity it takes to make that claim having NEVER played it) you really need to reexamine your priorities.

Bring on 2.0, i look foward to walking over the grass to get to the fun stuff regardless what it looks like.

The grass is perfect, it shows how a real open old style area should be. They had no lawn moweres back when so grass will grow!

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?

I agree with you here...no idea why the grass matters so much...not like ppl will be standing around long enuff to really even pay attention to it...
