TGS 2012 Trailer is back up!

Even if all that were true.. THIS IS A FF GAME.. anything goes..

Damn, thats the best argument ever..

Otherwise all the above picture linkers need to learn to read - I didn't say grass couldn't grow in a desert - but without an awesome gardener it makes no sense that La Noseca wouldn't have more and better grass.

[Shougun]

As someone who was born and raised in the desert, we had tall grass, and in some parts it was everywhere. It wasn't exactly green, but it was there.

I was also born in the desert. I didnt say it cant have grass - but compared to La Noseca it has a shit ton of grass.

La Noseca has an environment that grass thrives in. Yet all you see is the 2d texture on the ground.

In an evolutionary sense, taller isn't always better. If grass in La Noscea can get an adequate amount of water and sunlight whether it's tall or not, it can use those resources to put toward propagating their DNA, which is the number one priority of any evolving group of organisms.

But all that doesn't even matter, what does matter is that tall grass can occur naturally in the desert, and it does.

Starlord speak to me, why does Thanalan have more grass then La Noseca?

As a I terrain in my hobby time - this is really bothering me lol. Tellllmeeee!

Based on lore Thanalan was a lush forest basically, so either its going back in that direction in the future for god knows whatever continuity error, or Noseca was heavily unfinished...or that's just how it looks on the "better" graphics engine.

So lets walk all the way around the point that I was saying "why the hell does Uldah have grass" and all La Noseca has is a 2d texture. Even plains or w.e the other person wanted to call them has ankle high and higher grass.

And instead lets talk about "tall plants occur naturally in the desert" even though i never said they cant.

A desert with taller grass then a place that has plenty of water.. XD

@Startlord, Fine fine theres is more -grass- texture on the ground but why is Thanalan filled with larger grasses... healthy grass grows tall (Thanalan, desert?) - La Noscea hired an awesome gardener i guess lol

that's why that "person" mention plains and plateaus. technically LN "has" more grass since its more spread out in thanalan due to it being said desert. it's not all green on the ground and maybe just maybe to keep it with engine it has to be that way so we can have more with the game. instead of what we have right now which is kinda the same LN doesn't have much "Tall" grass it has patches of it but not a lot of patches.

btw, those bold and underlined text are the areas then that should have been expanded on the way it is it looks like you're saying that it's impossible for it to be like that ^_^

Ah yeah not trying to say it was impossible, sorry for that.

I just felt like a desert that has more grass (only counting 3d models) feels awkward. When you play oblivion or skyrim and remove all the grass the nice foresty/(anywhere with grass) areas feel so naked, I want my grass dammit lol.

And La Noseca deserves a helping of green (ankle biting) grass.

(Also said other person because I couldnt find the post relating to plains - so just said "that person" :P)

[Rannie]

like i said it really doesn't because all that green is grass and that's only in One shot we haven't seen the whole area yet. I won't say it's all going to be like that and I'm not going to say it won't. Thanalan does have less grass in that then LN does if you think about it that way. ^_^

Relying only on 2d textures to represent grassy areas is sooo early 2000 :P.

But yes counting 2d textures La Noseca has more grass, I secede that lol

[Rannie]

lol, I still won't say either yay or nay on if that's going to be all that it is like. I'm still gonna wait for it to be released =)

hey if it does great lol and that's fine all's good with that other person comment I just like using "" /airquote LOL there I fixed the post =P
