Why are the graphics so downgraded?
Seriously...
Only improvement I see is shadows.
All the textures are so bad now, and poly count looks greatly reduced, and look at the ground textures... wow. Serious graphical downgrade.
FFXIV is no longer the MMO with best graphics if these screenshots are indicative of what we can expect.

always looking for good people.
My first reaction to the screenshots was "whoa, nice graphics!" I don't have a beastly machine, but it holds its own. I'm not at all impressed with the current graphics of 14. So...I don't know what to tell the naysayers.
Why so negative? Be part of the turnaround, don't slow it down!
I have no doubt the graphics will be awesome, typical of FF, and the lag will be much much better. Can't wait for 2.0!
I guess it sucks to know that they're not running it at full setting, like they've already said they tend to not do with screenshots.
Even the Alpha screenshots were "full for Alpha", which only looked good due to AO, which remains bugged today.
