I've looked all over Youtube and haven't found anything beyond this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgtZvn5c4e4
The photograph used for comparison in the original post seems to have been taken from this cinematic.
Structure detail in this video is on par with what is shown in the Adventurer guilds in the cities. Sad part is I can hardly get 10-15fps in this area even with the graphics detail turned down to 1. How ridiculous is that?! At this level the graphics are so pixelated it's not worth playing.

Did the addition of the graphics settings give you better fps in most areas? yeah it did! But they still have alot more work to do to make it work on more systems. I know it can be better because I've had a full 30fps in wide open areas. I don't have a stellar system, but the inconsistent framerates is bothersome.

It just doesn't make sense.

Right now I think the Developers focus are on other things besides graphics. I do agree that the graphics could be better when it comes to water. And I believe this game engine can do it.

but FFXIV needs content more than anything else! More quests, more areas, more dungeons. I love FF and Square Enix to death! But they released this game too soon.
