I don't think someone could fairly say that's at the same level as FFXIV 1.0, but it does seem like an improvement to the other picture you posted. The hairstyle is interesting too. I wonder what the model will look like in a place with actual lighting though. FFXIV: ARR doesn't have a very flattering lighting system and things often look dull (like in the new picture) or way too oversatured (like in the old picture).
