I don't really have a beef with the water graphics or the not-totally-naturalistic lighting effects.
Repeating textures and repeating terrain are two entirely different things. All games use repeating textures, some just do it better than others. FFXIV's texture work is really good, at least for the high-resolution textures. The low-res ones that display on terrain at a distance can be really bad at times, but even it would be fine if they would simply push back the distance that it switches between the two and make it gradual, instead of the Line of Eyesore(TM) that currently runs 12m in front of you.
