Grass

[Punainen]

Please post more constructively then three words. Uriah's post is great example of I dont care but I'm not going to insult you either (whom I +1'd).

Okay, my constructive reply is... You already made a thread about this. You point was NOT being misunderstood, just no one freaking cares that much about what the GRASS looks like, and you want them to have to pile in all kinda of new game mechanics just for a feature that no one but you even cares about. This topic was beat to death the last time you brought it up, so I don't know why you're bringing it up again. Happy now?

I find it sad that you have to join to mock a thread, so yes at least now you came up with something to say.

To the point of your post though I think you are misunderstood. I never said "no one gets me", and people do care about what the grass looks like - I just happened to be the fore front of that lol.

And while the issue is still present the issue will be beat to death, and I'll leave it at that. I dont care if its been brought up before, and I dont care if it gets brought up a hundred more times.

Can't tell if trolling or serious.

Sadly he's totally serious.

Sadly he's totally serious.

I find nothing sad about being interested in the best aesthetic and immersive value possible- only sad that people who dont care about an issue decide to mock and insult those who find issue of it.

Nothing I suggest here will hurt your game if not make it better.

It's a video game. Who the hell really cares that much about what the grass looks like grass. I can honestly say i have never heard anyone ever talk about the way grass looks in a game. Ever. Seriously, this is such a waste of forum space.

Considering a major part of a video game is the graphics, I think if people want to discuss the games grass or any other graphical feature on these forums, they have a right to.

This horse was beat to death. Now it's a zombie, and you're beating it to death all over again.

I agree, I mean just look at the grass in this scene which was made by SE! It looks nothing like the grass that is in ARR!

Look at the DETAIL! :P

Graphics are a step backwards from 1.0 but no matter how many times i bring it up people keep saying its not an issue...

ps3 limitations*

This is an non-issue because of how the game was developed. It started on PC. PS3 is literally just a scaled down version of PC version. Lower LoD, Lower draw distance, less objects visible at once, less players visible at once. and yes, Less grass drawn at once.

PS3 client is completely separate from the PC. So the PC version you can crank the graphics up as high as you want and see all the visual glory! This game is NOT like FFXI and doesn't suffer from the same limitations it had with the PS2.

This statement has no purpose please stop posting, if something is an issue then you talk about it - no matter the number of times.

"Oh I guess we talked about women's rights, now you girls better stop beating the dead horse - doesn't matter you didn't get what you wanted" no that's bullcrap. You keep at it.

Furthermore Yoshida has never addressed this, so the horse is not even dead as Yoshida hasn't closed the door on high end options.

That scene cap is amazingly beautiful. Just.. eyegasms everywhere.. lol

Edit: get the image tag again - it got cut off for some reason. That was a really great photo

Here is the trailer of ARR on crack graphics basically - http://youtu.be/yhaHhE8R8GY?t=6m11s

Linkurrra's awesome photo was at a point in there.
