GameWatch - This new FFXIV concept screen shot, is this real time rendering?
YoshiP - Of course

What's your take on this? Does the graphics in the screenshot look different to you? Is this because of the new graphics engine? Will it be more or less demanding in terms of graphics and performance?

Discuss.

This HYPE is JUSTIFIED then!

I really like the lightning and shading and contrast, but it might be a situational factor

[neorei]

if that is real time graphics, then wow, but i'm sure it's not.

Given that that model (Chimera) is currently in the data...yeah it's not that hard to believe, also look at their latest games. There's no doubt likely image filters applied, but the graphics itself are what they asked about.

It's in his notes. What's to discuss?

That's kind of terrible. There's a lot i hate about that screenshot. For one, I hope it's a boss fight, toherwise I see no reason to have that many people in a party. What's witht he crap around the map? Multiple toolbars? I can't see what that stuff is in the lower right. Looks very non-controller friendly, sort of like what a friend had up in wow, when he was just mashing buttons left and right. I hope it doens't look like that at all. I like the simplistic look, less is more.

Yodhida said they are going to allow player aps or whatever they are called. Add-ons. Just think how awesome it will be if our UI looked like this.

That's exactly the shit i'm afraid of.

Stop being pretentious...

Whoever has their stuff set up like that -wants- it like that.

Its not like they are going to ram it down your throat -- anyone can tell you that WoW is nowhere near serious enough to require half of the shit people invest into it in the name of being "hardcore."

WoW is one of the most stupidly simplistic MMOs ever... that's half of the reason its so damn popular.

I like the screen shot. The only thing I'm slightly concerned about is UI customisation.
While I think it's great, I hope SE doesn't allow too much freedom (as in, say, WoW), as I have the fear that some might become a standard that must be used (and we all know how elitists can be).

Extreme example ahead.

Oh, and I also found a nice article that sums up my thoughts

Half of that shit is just obstinate laziness. If you find yourself compelled to do stuff like that, that's your problem, not anyone else's. If you find yourself uninterested or disgusted by it, that's your problem, not anyone else's.

This is the same as the power leveling drama -- people terrified of having options because they feel they can't trust themselves to make a practical decision. It's just plain disgraceful.

The game shouldn't have to overtly limit people just because you're terrified of YOUR HUD being ugly. I'd never set my crap up to be as cluttered as ridiculous as that, but I'm definitely not going to tell Mr. Elitist that he can't just because I don't like it. What exactly gives you the right to tell define how other people should play the game when it has absolutely no effect on you?
