Thread: Are 2.0 Graphics going to be better?

For me from the pic it seem like a downgrade it look more like other MMO in the market like rift or Aion. Not saying that is bad but the look that FFXIV have now does look better for me then in that Pic.

It will more than likely have a million times better light fx (being the luminous guys are developing the engine), which is one of the reasons why Yoshi is letting us alter our characters, because the lighting might make us look different that what we originally (now) see.

Shaders are better, lighting is better.. I don't think there will be much more improvement (other than hopefully running smoothly and effortlessly, which in itself is a huge improvement).

Then again, the shaders and lighting in this game could seriously use some work. It will be noticeably better, perhaps more balanced since the shader quality will match the over-all aesthetic quality.

Oh, as the environments see significant change I'm sure that will play a role as well, not technically speaking though.

Considering not even all single player games released recently meet XIV's current quality shaders and lighting aside, I doubt they will have trouble impressing players next year. Skyrim looks like crap.

Really, I'd just like to see more variety in the environment.

Oh look. It's the same rock formation and texture. How completely radical and not unfortuitous at all.
