    What The Black Shroud should look like.

    So I recently as I going about my daily task in Eorzea, in The Black Shroud. I started thinking why does this forest look so plain, so lifeless almost like it was in a "video games" well I know it is video game, I being a super detailed cute Dunesfolk that is full of life.

    In the time that am not in the world of Eorzea running around and /panic at random things. I player other games, yes I know I am a monster. A recent game I started playing was The Witcher2 and I ran around exploring The Witcher2. I found some amazing forest places, and I thought why doesn't The Black Shroud look anything like this. So here are some screen shots.

    If you have any Ideas what went wrong please feel free to leave them, If you would want a more forestie zone in The Black Shroud let tell us what you would do to add more life into the world of Final Fantasy 14.

    So what made me think why, I should compare these two games, Final Fantasy 14, and The Witcher2 is one being a single player game and the other a massively multiplayer game. The computer spec are lower on The witcher2 and looks better than 14. I know a lot resources go to net coding, but really that much, where you can go from http://www.ffxivinfo.com/images/screenshots/ffxiv-562.jpg to this http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/856/2011053000003.jpg/

    I was hoping for the Black Shroud to resemble the Sanctuary of Zi'Tah.

    I have to thank Square-Enix for the amazing job they have done recreating Final Fantasy XIV from Scratch. Especially the inclusion of Missing Genders which we petitioned for in good faith. This was proof to us players that the Developers are truly Sympathetic to our requests and that being honest and vocal can pay off with the amazing characters we have who are Female Roegadyn, Male Miqote, and Female Highlanders. Thank You SE, Thank You Community Team, Thank You Yoshi-P.

    Well, perhaps without all of the gloomy lighting and a bit of FF style. Other than that yeah it really should be a lot more open and diverse than it is right now.

    But then, all the zones SHOULD be more diverse.

    personally I like the Black Shroud's style, I just don't like all the choke points on the damn map, this isn't Starcraft yo!

    On a more serious note, I would really hope to see different "feelings" of the woods, after all it is a magical place, why not have some darker, scarier areas within the fairy-tale Zi'tah forest areas?

    Like the Witcher2 areas just add a low laying fog and creepy music.

    They should make Black Shroud like the forest from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
