Graphics Updates?!?! :O

I miss having holes and little special pieces for tails... I guess it's not worth the effort if it's only needed for two races out of six, but still. It was a nice touch. I feel pretty sad that I can't justify my tail clipping through one of the many robes, butt capes, and long shirts any more.

You know really sucks about this? It only counts for Miqo'te. Au Ra wearing the same outfits are given the Hyur model because they couldn't be bothered to associate the Miqo'te clothing models with the Au Ra. So it's literally just for one race.

Their lack of tail love is quite upsetting.

I agree Hestzhyen, nobody wants to hear it, but there was ALLOT of really good stuff from 1.0. Mainly in challenge and the feeling of character progression and how lively the world felt. Also everything felt really tangible. But I feel we are slowly returning to those immersive emotions.

Because Au Ra was released after they stopped trying. Yet another example to drive my point home.
I'm convinced the devs just don't care anymore, at least not nearly as much as they used to. They aren't even trying to be creative or innovative at this point. Everything nowadays is recycled from somewhere. Be it re-colored gear designs or re-colored Diadems.

I haven't seen XIV in it's normal form since 2.xx.

This, everything pretty here thanks to Re-shade plugin.

I'm not sure if anyone else noticed this as well, but the game seems to have been updated via "lighting" or perhaps texture reworks. Because the older areas via 2.0 look immensely fuller.

I don't think there's been a change. I also cannot fathom why the development team would introduce any sort of noticeable graphics update without advertising its presence, just as they did with the DX11 mode.
