The new concept screenshot is a real-time in-game render!

Cure spell still looks like crap.

I like a dev post about this and how the game going to change i like to know if we still going to have the same level of detail and realism.

They should be able to preserve the same amount of detail since they are removing some of the stress due to zone-shrinkage, but I think it's safe to say from the concept art that realism is out the window.

That was the whole point of FFXIV to trash the realism seem like a downgrade and just trying to make wow players join because they like that type of art concept.

I kind of agree. FFXIV at the moment is really subtle.

I look around the camps and hamlets and see peasants dressed in rags and old-fashioned attire, and I hope that degree of unassuming fantasy isn't lost when they try to make this game a flamboyant wreck just to appease the players that wanted "moar colours".

I mean, I'd hate to see those people's wardrobes, is all I'm trying to say.

Sometimes muted subtlety is better than flamboyant colours. (sometimes=always). I just hope they don't compromise the artistic integrity of the game in the process of trying to revamp it. There's a reason I won't be playing TERA (even though I think the combat system is a huge step forward for MMOs).

Ya i agree with you 100% They should not try and add colors just for the sake of other players who like it. At the very least allow us to change the look of the game and have something close to FFXIV 1.0 and players who want more of a tera,aion feel can change the setting for more of a 2.0 feel.

The screenshot has so much action in it, my eyes popped out the back of my head.

Please make the traditional FF battle menu for gamepad. Just optional.
f.e.
Attack
Skills
Magic
Items

I'm getting sick of this WOW kind shit.

Thank you.

Btw is the second action bar on the screenshot the supporting system he talked about? To control the chocobo in battle?
