I am absolutely THRILLED about the new graphics. Honestly, I didn't even notice the downgrade, but instead the new visual art style. It is crisp and it blends well, rather than juxtaposes itself, which I've noticed with some areas like 1.0 Thanalan. When I further glanced at it, it seems to have this hint of an acrylic style, which I fell in love with. I cannot, CANNOT wait for 2.0 after these screenshots. The game seems to take on a new beauty, one that speaks out to those in a positively aesthetic manner.
