This is rather frustrating...

This thread seriously puts the ass in asinine. As Sigmund Freud once said "the mind knows nothing of neurons." Who cares how many polygons the game is(or isn't) pushing? The important thing is that the thing looks great with what it does, and to the best of my knowledge I haven't seen a single game in the MMO space and have seen few games in many spaces period that look this good.

Then someone actually posted that Ninitendo is in bad shape because of the Wii and 3DS? The same Nintendo that has already sold 95 million Wii consoles over a 6-year span and over 17 million 3DS handhelds in a little over a year(where the majority of those sales were in the last 6 months or so)?

This thread is one ring short of a 3-ring circus.

If it looks visibly worse, then the videophiles (the people who buy the hardware so they're able to crank the game to max) feel a little upset. If it looked visibly identical or better, then no-one would care.

This is a forum, the devs want feedback.

And you will, regardless of what those specs are. It isn't Square-Enix's job to make sure that every single transistor is working double time. It's their job to make an interesting world that we want to explore. Visually appealing = top-end graphics. It's your own problem that you bought all that hardware in the first place.

So I shouldn't be giving the devs feedback on what I personally see to be an issue?

I currently run the game on max settings, I run Crysis 2 on extreme with Radeon HD 6890's Crossfire. I'm not jumping to conclusions and crying foul over a couple of screenshots released months before the actual game. Even if the games turn out to be exactly what the screenshots portray it doesn't bother me, I'm more concerned with the game being more enjoyable than it currently is.

This assumption that these screenshots accurately represent the product we'll see in 6 months is pure ignorance, but I think you already made that point earlier:

Correlation doesn't imply causation.

So next time. how about not acting like you speak for everyone.
