New rain effect is a bit disappointing. It should look like this:

1) FFXIV's rain/weather effect is one of the best i've seen in a game thus far. It orientates itself to the camera and reacts accordingly to being indoors/outdoors.


2) FFXIII-2's rain filter was garbage. It looked like perpetual static, something i could not get my eyes to un-see once i noticed. OP should be ashamed of himself.


3) The rain effect wasn't changed. They just added "wet" shaders to the materials.

Man, it's amazing the amount of stuff you can do with graphics when you don't have to render more than an hundred of models on screen nowadays.

This.

oh and while you're there, Yoshi, I want my character to have the same Poly-count as SF4 characters, please. Do not let us down again!!!!!

I do love the new wet effect and how it works in the game. Having said that I would like to see to minor changes to the rain weather.

First is more pronounced droplets in light rain storms. Sometimes when running I can hardly notice it's raining until I stop and look for it.
Second is adding puddles on the ground.

Because it's been in the news that when Microsoft ends XP support, a large number of people in Japan will be affected. Yes, the Japanese are STILL using XP even today. DirectX 11 isn't supported on XP so it only makes sense that Square wouldn't develop for it.
