2.0 Defintely has more details in the enviroment, but we have yet to see if our active mobile models are effected the same way by 2.0. I havent seen any characters/chocobos look better - just look worse on some occasions (it appears that hair, fur, skin, eyes and other lively objects havent had their finishing touches - I hope that means they will get them though).

its the different lightning.. with the luminous studio engine the colors of the characters, and all textures seem much much brighter when they are in the sun.


the luminous engine offers real dynamic shadowing

Lightning in the current version. The character doesnt seem to be effected that much by the sun light.




we have no dynamic shadows like this right now:
characters "blinded by the sun" [shows an earlier alpha version]

characters half in the shadows [shows an earlier alpha version]





in darkness the character seems more three-dimensional :
(A Realm reborn screenshot)


when the charactes is directly in the sunlight he maybe seems just too bright. For your meaning "cartoonish"


its the lightning and shadow effect which disturbs you.
but Yoshida also said, that the lightning and shadowing of the last trailer they've released was not final and showed an earlier version. (the first two screenshots)
