I really enjoyed Tera, and think that it looks better than XIV in a lot of ways, but a lot of its zones are more form than substance. I was really disappointed by the amount of barriers that you come up against in that game, just because zones were designed to have a bunch of set pieces and to look bigger than they actually are.

Also the animations in this game trump Tera by a long shot. It's full of so much life and charm that Tera really lacks.

Tera's races are more diverse, though, which I really wish we could have here.

To the OP's point, I agree that this game is very nice looking, and has a ton of charm. I think that MMOs will come out that are prettier from a tech perspective before too long, but I don't know that a lot of devs can really capture the same charm that the XIV has. The 6 races, the monsters, the weather patterns, the zones, the story and the characters all add so much life to this game that I really feel like most MMOs lack.
