Cartoony style graphics....

[Aion]

This screenshot must be photoshopped, it doesnt look like cartoon at all



it doesnt looks like a downgraded Graphic, the character model and equipments has nice textures. The lighting also looks good

I cant believe SE lying to us...

I'm sure that's one thing these crybabies wouldn't mind if they are ever satisfied with when they give. ( probably never will happen XD)

Just because I love bitching to you - Hair could be better in that screenie looks a little lifeless.

But yes Yoshida specifically said -all- screenshots on the web are straight from the game no photoshop. He made a funny comment saying if it was photoshopped it would be perfect.

I don't think it's fair to post pics of version 1.0 on obviously the worst settings and then compare them to 2.0. At least put the settings to standard.

and its not fair to post some bad earlier alpha staged screenshots as well, eh? ;XD

A Realm Reborn (Monk)


1.0. Monk




A Realm Reborn Black shroud
the trees in the background look just so lively and aussum in comparison


i love to have that much more details in it:


in 1.0.
the vegetation in Black shroud now. it just looks like an advanced version of the tunnel regions of FF11. everywhere the same green moss/grass texture



a detailed environment looks different, there is only one green moss texture which you see all over the black shroud.. whereas in ARR it looks so much lively



ok we will miss it though.. because we have played in it for 2 years now, and it had its own feeling. i think most of us is just afraid of that been gone for ever.

From the gameplay videos released it looks a lot better to me. Espescially the environment. Even on video streams there is way more detail in little things which will make the game worthwhile. Have you seen the laptop Y-P uses in the live letters to demo game stuff on? I find it hard to believe that you would be able to run 2.0 on highest settings on Luminous engine on that thing unless Intel/AMD/NVidia are hiding something from the public and only gave it to SE.

I will wait till beta to pass judgement. Considering I play in eyefinity on my 7970, I cannot wait to try the new version on ULTRA.

I will wait till beta to pass judgement. .

me too. its just too early. i have to see it myself.

uh different lighting really makes difference to the environment

Great post. I will not miss 1.0 though, can't wait for it to go away. :P

Especially the Black Shroud. That place can rot.

I'm going to say something no one is going to like, but according to some people, non FF fans, Final Fantasy graphics ARE always cartoony, lovely, high quality, but cartoony. Of course the right word is stylized.

Personally FF graphics is that perfect balance between realism and the animated look. It's so well done it looks like it could be real, but it's not. That said Rokien you are on crack if you think ARR's graphics are any more stylized then what we have now. :P
