Look once again i can care less about the UI i can change that too look like FFXI like i'm doing now like FFXIV making my chat log big and setting it how i like it. But you can't sit there and tell me the graphics are a improvement from FFXIV now? If playing at 720p at high setting with DOF look awesome i wonder how my game would look at 1080p. It's not improvment when it come to the Chars if they telling us the hair and stuff may not look the same -.- it not a improvements from today ffxiv and ffxiv 2.0 the only thing that is a improvements is oh look shadows and lighting work now Don't know why they could not done that with the new Tool without losing the feel of the game looking at the screenshot when it came out both me and my gf and friends thought one thing "WoW,aion,rift,tera. not even talking about the UI talking about the coloring and the art work.
They made crystal tool work with FFXIII "Ya i know it's offline game" But they could at leave convert the type of art work over to the new one.
Tanaka said many time they needed more time and even under yoshi-p it going to take other 1year to even fix the game so you can't say that Tanaka had a shot when they did not even give it too him just left so it could save the game. He said in a interview the game not ready for 2010 i don't know how many time the dev said it but thecompany never care or listen that the company problem not the dev team. It's costing even more money just to fix old ffxiv and making a new ffxiv. The matter of the fact is the crystal tool was the issue in doing anything and the cheap servers if the old main team could use the new stuff i think it would look the same as today but still have that type of UI i be fine or even if the new team could have done that.
neizero: i play ffxiv for hours it's not that it just luck i never had luck in ffxi i did endgame for days at week and never got anything beside black belt and few good items. I just had really bad luck in ffxi and even in ffxiv when it come to finding a good linkshell or drops or just the chance of getting something over someone else. But w/e there no way i can make you believe me on that.
