Breaking down some of the screenshots

[Chooty]

everyone knew graphics where gonna take a hit once they announced low end PCs can run it, you have had months to complain.

Because the forum shills obviously wouldn't have said to wait and see and that Yoshida is Jesus reincarnated? Besides, low end PCs by today standard were mid-range PCs when the game was released, so no I don't see any reason as to why graphics should take a hit. Especially since using high res textures have almost no effect on performance at all.

I love the Aetherytes in the middle of the cities now

Any one else notice the lack of a weather icon? or the target type icon? (all/party/enemy/friendly)
Also while I like the "cell phone" style connection icon, we wont know our S/R numbers anymore
Lastly notice the first icon in both the DRG SS and the PLD SS are the same, wonder if that's a passive/active mode switch or something else

Weather Icon is on the top edge of the mini-map. and I'm sure they reworked the Targeting system alot.

Thinking thats the moon phase icon and not a weather icon
1 is the moon and the other is the sun, shows relation to where they are in the sky
Could be wrong though, maybe they ditched the moon phase thing

I dunno looks like a partly cloudy sun

Now I'm thinking that you're right and that icon is static and shows the weather, while the other icon of the sun moves around and changes to a moon when it's night (which we don't see in any SS's)

wow my SS still exists

Anyone else notice the Sun/Moon symbols around the minimap? I believe they move! The sun is in a different spot in these two pics:
