    Hardly anything on these forums is anymore ; ; Reason why I stopped posting a lot lol. Anyway you bring up some good points. So far I think the game is shaping up nicely though. I hope in the open beta/release FFXIV does end up giving us that FF feeling

    Indeed. If you are not able to speak in a manner that SE can understand, speak instead with your wallet and don't pay for the game.

    EDIT: Really, mods? The thread where we are courteously discussing apparent changes to animations and graphics upcoming in ARR gets locked without explanation, but this thread is left alone?

    cause they won't ever change the graphics, it's in stone most likely. even if game fails they want the ps3 to do well as well. at worse this game for them will go f2p and they expect the ps3 to work well for the kiddies on it. they can change the direction of a mmo in things in game but spending more money on creating a better looking graphic is probably not gonna happen. the engine they put it on itself was a huge issue and maybe even why it had such good graphics to begin with. (don't quote me on that last statement cause i'm not a tec nerd on graphics, just sounds logical to me) either way they need worry more about the content then what the game looks like. i thought it looks above and beyond what ffxiv 1.0 looked like. it's like a different game just in looks. but it's not what will keep players or have them running. they didn't leave cause the copy paste, they made fun of it for sure but if the content was top notch still, they would of dealt with it.

    I'm of the mind that graphics and animations count as content as much as dungeons, gear, and quests. We use the word "immersion" a lot on these boards, and running through all those activities with a character that moves awkwardly and looks cheap is not going to feel as satisfying.

    And this is Final Fantasy, a franchise with a long established history of being on the bleeding edge when it comes to graphics.

    It goes back to what I said in another thread about FFXIV being judged more harshly by critics and fans alike for using copy-pasted terrain, even though that's been a standard practice in video games for as long as people have been making them. For 25 years, Final Fantasy has been setting new standards, and when a Final Fantasy game is released that is not technologically in the vanguard, you're gonna hear about it.

    Your all wrong about the grpahics and animation. Star Wars The Old Republic is the proof. It's not dead because of the graphics or animation. It's dead because of the lack of content. For me graphic have never been a matter of importance. I played FFXI for years with bad graphic. What in my mind is the most important its to have a goal to achieve in the game, something you can say:" hey i finally made it!" So place more content and goodies then placing your energy on graphic and animation. Monster Hunter just work nicely on that (not MH3 on wii tho) graphic are really bad but the action and feeling of achievement once you got what you were looking for is so great, it make the game cool to play.

    Actually I thought he was spot on. If using a spell check is beyond you, it tells us a great deal about what you find "interesting". I too have to say that I get tired of the negative nannies all over this forum and other places.
    If the non-story and boring grind of WOW and its other incarnations such as Guild Wars 2 is your poison have at it, but your concern-trolling, and yes that is how you spell concern, gets old. Several concern trolls have me rolling my eyes back in my head many times in this forum alone, and you are usually the ones that find yourselves the official wonders of the MMO worlds.

    But here is a truth: if they did all the stuff you and the other concern trolls want, right now right away, and give us another boring WOW-alike, there isn't going to be a thing of a Final Fantasy left, and I personally will hate it. Please go do your thing where you want to do it. Quit pretending you actually understood the wonder of FF just because you spent 8 years doing .. what???

    But whatever it is, if you start a thread anywhere, run it by someone for spelling and grammar. You might get taken more seriously.
