Cartoony style graphics....

[Rokien]

Hello, Rokien here again. I hope everyone is having a good night! I cant sleep~ soo ya....
I can clearly see in the new tgs trailer, the game has a more "cartoony" graphic style feel, I was wondering why go in that direction?
I noticed it when I first saw the screenshots of, but I was just like, "meh they are screen shots, and of pre alpha". I was also to focused when they showed gameplay, on the new lighting system that I wasn't looking for it. To many games have the cartoony style already.....

So, why go in that direction of graphics?

Because WoW is awesome.

I was joking!

I don't see any change. It's only a question of colors and lights..

[HiirNoivl]

Yeah. The game looks brighter, but not cartoony. Right now the game is really dark and not very colorful.

Man, Rokien... You do this thing where my brain is unable to function. Long time no see buddy.

Did you know if you google images "rokien" you come up with this:

Am I the only one who think this looks better?

Am I the only one who think this looks better?

You know, i think so. The graphic sensation seems really nearer to the yoshida art than the 1.0 and this is a nice thing imo.

What you are describing sounds nice but I don't see it. We've mostly only seen the forest and to me it looks like the same style in graphics. I can't wait to see some imagination in the world as promised by the jaw-droppingly gorgeous concept art. Is that what you mean by cartoony?

Btw I hate it when concept art with lineart is said to be cartoony. Do you people realize how much time is saved when concept art isn't finished to pr-material level? That way we get to do 10 times more art and help visual design all over the game instead of having one spot that looks awesome and having to tell the 3d guys to copy-paste that stuff to rest of the game.

To me it's the original idea that matters and I think XIV art AND ARR-art (don't you just love the way that sounds?) look awesome.

Anyway if you meant that the new grid looks cartoony then I don't know what to say.
