Increase more colors for Eorzea?

[Hikozaemon]

id take some of these ff-fanatics statements more seriously if they could write a reply w/o cursing thinking it makes them sound cool. Ive played all the FFs and the style per say was always over-the-top colorful in many cases and full of life. But then this game came and they thought it would be awesome to use 5 colors mostly earthen tones that create a drab and lifeless atmosphere to begin with. Im playin tera right now under a fellow co-workers account thats korean and id have to say stop saying it fails because in all honesty it looks and plays beautiful. there is more than 3 tree models and 2 bush models and they dont reuse landscape assets nearly as much; i'm sticking around w/ this game because i loved ff11 and played it for 9years non stop and hoping this game can rebound and provide me the same enjoyment but as months pass i grow less and less attached to it. And BTW FF13 was a rainbow........ ff14 is like watching tv in colorscope(do research if u dont know what that is).

Not too sure whats so funny TERA is suffering from one of the main problems XIV is... lack of content, Korean sub's have been dropping off pretty fast.

Edit: Just like XIV, TERA is trying to correct that problem, XIV is doing it for PS3 launch and TERA is doing it for NA launch. TERA is currently suffering from what XIV did under the Tanaka regime, the Dev's are not taking any feedback from the the community thus the game is slowly failing.

oh wow really? i havent heard much about what Teras doing as of late, but i was semi-following it for about a year now. so no real content huh? does it have a jeuno or whitegate type of city yet? is it that boring?

dont always believe what people on the internet tell you the game has leaps and bounds more content than ff14 has right now. The korean mmo market in general never holds people for too long due to oversaturation in the market..... ie there next big mmos coming out one after another. And the game has loads of servers that are overpacked for the most part. Also pay to play mmos never hold as large an audience as f2p mmos do in the asian mmo market.

The do not believe everything you hear is true but it works both ways.

Everyone saying how Tera is the best thing ever on these forums... don't believe everything you hear.

People are not playing it anymore in Korea who once where (Fact)... where Aion holds over 1million subs easy since release over there(Fact). They have to have done something wrong to lose those subs. And from what I hear it is lack of content, Aim bots for the PvP, and Badly designed Political system.

The game is not as bad off as XIV I will agree to that, easily more content then XIV, but to deny it is not doing well is equally as foolish as those who believe XIV is doing great. Both games are in trouble atm, XIV a little more, both games have a chance to rebound with additional releases and fine tuning and more content.

A full server means nothing after a merge. XI has servers of 3000+ people at prime some nights, does not mean the game is doing great... Not at all. Same situation in Tera atm, a server merge gives a massive boost to the server population but a server merge is not a good sign.

I like having plainer colors so when you walk into places like Cassiopeia Hollow and see the glowing plant life or you look up at the crystal stalagmites in Mor Dhona they have that much more of an effect on you.

Why are the northern lights beautiful? Because the night sky doesn't usually glow. Why is an Oasis so magical? Because it's in the middle of a lifeless desert. These things stand out because they are uncommon or are placed against a much more plain backdrop. It's all about having contrast. FFXI had the most beautiful places tucked away in remote corners of the world, but the reason they were so wondrous to behold was they were contrasted against the rest of the world which looked very normal or even plain.

In games like Tera, this might just be personal taste, but nothing stands out to me. It's all so color soaked and otherworldly that the effect is lost in a sea of things competing to stand out.

lol



LOL

Getting pretty sick of people like you on here. listen the game tera is good but it full of colors and the game itself look like s***. and what i meant by fine is the look of the game is great no need to add the rainbow.

All people are doing is messing up FFXIV for the rest of us by asking for the most dumbest thing then they quit and join other game and the people who really enjoy it are stuck with it at the end.

You guys need to stfu about the state of TERA because its doing fine, its not dropping fast, its lost about 80k and has a steady 100k active online, has since the release as stated by the most recent interview, and its stupid to even comment on it because its not like XIV is doing fine when it lost over half a million of its possible subscribers almost instantly. TERA has like 5 times more active playes than XIV and its out in 1 country....

anyway back onto the top.

Zanaku you dont like people wanting some colour? I dont like you not wanting some colour, so you can cry all you want but some of us want a nice looking game, so tough shit live with it lol.

[Zangetsu]

Enhance the colors yourself with your video settings. You can candy apple red everything if you want. I have very vibrant colors. Maybe you should stop using your black and white TV from 1980.

Fine is a relative term...

But if u were to compare FF XIV to TERA "sub's" yeah id agree, its doing fine. However that's like comparing a kid in a wheelchairs basketball skills to your own..

You want color?Play this game

Bad joke aside...

I still find Eorzea dull and lifeless (except Coerthas and Mor Dhona...for some reason I love those zones). At first, I also taught that the color palette was the culprit here. But in my opinion, it's not. It's the lack of things in the world. I think it's the same thing that most people have been complaining since the beginning: copy/paste terrain and environments and the fact that we see the same monsters all over Eorzea just with different colors and sizes.
