Lackluster Graphics in FFXIV

[Zenaku]

How would you respond if you found out that WOW has been doing this since 2004?

And how are you going to say with a straight face that the water in limsa looks good?

dude enough you just trolling now SE can add this whatever but wont because it would be too much performance with the type of pc ppl have. no one have 1k-2k to build a system just to see there face on water -.-

every post you made was by topic you start then you talk bad about ppl point of view -.- enough is enough.

wow is a old game and not as performance eating as FFXIV.
SE can later add real time reflections any time they choose to.

You shouldn't even compair between the two, I showed you in my first post here what the characters look like S*** in WoW compaired to FFXIV.

As far as water goes how can you tell me with a straight face that this repeated tiled jello:

or this blurry polygon soup:

is any better that what we have in FFXIV?

You need to check you eye condition or go play wave race 64 who also look like blurry garbage.

Meleena, the topic is not about whether FFXIV looks better than WOW overall. The topic is about 16 year-old technologies that are not included in FFXIV for some bogus reason. The excuse ppl are making is that it will use a lot of resources... if this is the case, why did SE add Ambient Occlusion - an option that ridiculously taxes resources - when making limas look not so much like crap would require less out of a system... why not make it optional?

Because they need to set a level of what a pc can run at high setting if that have that then you would need a better pc that i'm sure you don't have good enough pc to run it or the money for it. Wait 3-5years if it still the same then bitch about it too then it's the best looking mmo out there this is not a offline game where they can add all the stuff that there is out there.

Yeah the reason is because we dont care about 16 year old technologies, we have the 2011 technology and its better than the 16 year old technologies.

Wave race looks horrible, wow looks horrible even in "water".
Your point and thread still fails.

Meleena what is your age?

[Meleena]

I am older than you.

Ok then let me respond to your prior post where you said, "we dont care about 16 year old technologies, we have the 2011 technology and its better than the 16 year old technologies."

Wave Race 64 has a graphical technology that makes the surface of a body of water reflect the environment around it. Am I correct in assessing your statement as meaning that removing that technology in 2011 makes water look better?


EDIT:::
Hmm... Let me make this easier for you.

Does the water look better in image #5, or Image #8?

It looks better in the last image.
