Lackluster Graphics in FFXIV

[Munba]

Might really want to polish your FFXI memories a little. Try to remember Bastok. It was basically the same as Limsa. Actually even much worse, due to the much smaller presence of water and vegetation.

I remember Bastok and its "greys" indeed but like you'll see in this image, they are fragmented and merged with "whites" and other colors around:

You'll notice the general effect is different from LL and warmer indeed.
