Lackluster Graphics in FFXIV

Cause you ppl actually TRY to hang on details to find a reason to bash the game instead of stop playing it.
If you're gonna complain about the water in FFXIV then Ill complain about the caracters in other MMOs.
If you're gonna complain about the shadows in FFXIV I'll complain about the lack of detail in about everything else in any other MMO.
You talk about details, I talked about major stuff like your whole damn character.

FFXIV lacks serious basic stuff like keyword search in retainers, or mounts, or mail system, or working stats, or working hate and battle system, or content for that matter and people like the OP worry about petty details that can be worked around after FFXIV starts making sence gameplay wise.

Do you really think that right now is the time for S-E to focus on these petty details and not in actual gameplay aspects?
I for one do not, and that's the main reason why I am completely against this topic.

In a few words: I don't give two s**** if they ever fix shadows or water, what's curently there works fine as long as they fix the stuff I already mentioned.

lol you like that set match statement but its still not true. you hang out haning on to your opinion instead of helping the game develop in some easy to fix manners that shouldn't even be problems. How did you talk about whole character you just showed 2 screenshots. the other things you talk about are also problems. However what you see as petty is not my concern nor is your opinion of what I feel are problems a concern to me. Please stop calling me you people also lol. Also in a few words I dont give two s***** what you want them to fix first I just want to play a game that hasn't got such obvious graphical problems. They could have a real character model standing under a roof getting rained on and itll kill the immersion just as bad as red agro dots, etc.

I just want to say the word lackluster if no one has yet.

To all those who think FFXIV's graphics are on par with TERA online ... you must be smoking some good stuff while playing FFXIV.... TERA's graphics are gorgeous... and while FFXIV could be just as pretty or even better, well currently they are not. It lacks the level of detail TERA has and which bring the whole world to life and make you say wow! FFXIV feels so like it was made in less then a yr period.... which makes one asks the question... wtf happened during these 5 yrs??!

the Rapture tech demo is not pre-rendered. It's a in Engine cut scene. Just like FFXIV's story cut scene when you start the game. The purpose of the tech demo was to showcase the future SE mmo and it's capabilities. Showing a pre-rendered demo goes against that and back then they could make much better pre-rendered video that was you saw.

This thread is full of hungry trolls, be careful.

A troll is someone who tells you that a game with a 49% meta score is actually a really good game and doesn't need to be changed.

This is very true. I am trying to point out a few issues that validate this thread and all we get in return is ppls opinion that its not so bad. I see ppl worried about in game immersion so much on here in the jumping and aggro icon thread. I feel some of these easy to fix issues also take away from the immersion.
