PS1 game that has better battle graphics than FFXIV

[Neptune]

It's too bad Chrono Cross was one of the worst SE offerings on the PSX, huh? At least it wasn't as bad as Legend of Mana.

Also lol @ thread

What's so bad about Chrono Cross? I couldn't really get into it originally but now with Xenoblade and The Last Story not even announced.. what else is a brother to do?

This is what I've been wondering about while reading through this thread.

Aside from more demands on the system, how would it affect battle pacing if the spell animations were more elaborate and longer? It seems like most of the animations in FFXIV are designed to be executed quickly -- about the same length of time as a sword swing or lance thrust -- because of the need to accommodate multiple players in the battle versus just NPCs in your party.

Does anyone have video examples of an MMORPG with what they think are very good spell animations?

I see you took a look at the video and tried to imagine how it would play out in an MMORPG. This isn't necessary because FFXIV doesn't have to copy that video.

Wait. Are we talking about graphics or art style? Because as long as you can get a good style, graphics shouldn't matter too much.

Sure it's easier to paint a masterpiece with brush over a cotton swab, but it's not impossible...I don't know where I'm going with this.


TO HELL WITH YOUR OPINION!

lol

This has made me sad for a long as I have played CON (and to that extent, THM)

Yeah, what's up with spirit dart having no projectile?

What am I smoking? I'm clean man. Got the tests to prove it. I just have the clear vision to see the gaping flaws in your logic. It isn't my fault if you can't process my brain. D'uh. I'm a warlock and you are just you.

Chrono Cross simply doesn't have 'better graphics' than FFXIV. Better animations it may have for spells (perhaps a better topic title young troll) but better graphics it does not.

Lol yeah I don't think I can compete with your Adonis DNA. I see you noticed the phrase "better graphics" in my thread title and thought a PS1 game had overall better graphics than a 2010 PC game. It's easy to see a phrase and respond to it without realizing the point to be made about it.


@Catapult, I see you noticed the cinematic camera in the video. That's actually just an optional feature in battle. The default is a normal camera view. FFXIV doesn't have to have a cinematic view to have better battle effects.
