You complain about FFXIV grass? Skyrim has better! :(

Honestly, I think that when and if the development team gets around to a DirectX 11 (11.1) patch in the future, ARR will possibly look just as good. I believe so, but jeebus, look at the grass on that Skyrim with 100 mods. Could ARR look like that in the future? O_O

The grass in skyrim is edible, and gives buffs. Only the Ultima series matched such quality.

I'm actually pointing out that everyone complains about one aspect of the current games. Plus I want to show off that if ARR wants to be good, the devs have to look at other ways to compete with what's out there, which they are doing. I just wish I could've made version 1.0 look that good on my GeForce 555M GT, I just chose my laptop for affordability at the time (I didn't have enough money; plus I have the lower-end i7 processor). The next laptop I get will be a true gaming one, and I will have enough money by then

Btw, good Pokémon reference for your Location +1

other part, they were user made mods to change and enhance the textures. Not developer made vanilla grass or textures. So this is pointless, you are comparing something made post by mods that btw as mentioned kills fps to near unplayable if used all at once. If they wanted to make a game that would kill your gfx card they could, like they did with 1.0 but realizing that it was not economical for most users companies have basic textures. The user's modified it to be high texture with a hit to fps.

Yeah, you are right about that. The good thing is that with the new graphics engine ARR is sporting, we will get good graphics while not having a hit on FPS. The main reason I made this thread is about the artistic quality. I know that this is user-created mods for a game and it's not the game's built-in engine. I get that. I'm just hoping that when and if the DirectX 11 patch comes, will ARR be something like those screenshots without taking a hit on FPS? Or am I expecting too much right now?
