RPG SITE REALM REBORN INTERVIEW

[Starlord]

I'll call them lively when i see they moving smoothly on the wind with leaves falling around hehe

They don't have to move to be "alive" hehe.

When I said they feel alive, I mean the way they look.. doesn;t seems like there's no try that you can't get to. In FFXIV 1.0 there are trees in the background that you can't get to.

From the way it looks like for the ARR Screenshots.. it looks like you can get to any tree ( If you can move in the FOrest like there's trees all around you then Gridania will be a happy place for me. Sure 1.0 looks nice.. but I always wanted to weave in between trees. :P

Nice interview! Looking good except..this can go two ways lol

RPG Site: As far as gameplay goes, how will grinding vs. quests work for leveling? Will players find more reward from taking on more quests as opposed to just outright level grinding?
Yoshida: We will be moving away from a grind-oriented leveling system to a quest/content-driven leveling system. No longer will randomly defeating public monsters be the most efficient way to level your character.

SE you are not nintendo...haha nintendo can take something that sounds weird/kinda bad but then when they actually release it Miyamoto makes it extremely fun! I guess I am just hoping the game does not turn into wow or aion as far as leveling goes. It might not...there is still hope I hope they are innovative with this idea...

In almost every screen you posted except the second fron the top. Also visible in the op pic and mooglemail pic.

Which tree.

Again, you're not specifying, you're just generalizing. Talk about can't see the forest for the trees. Perhaps you need your eyes checked?

I think one of the element i can see is that the general color palette seems 'warmer' than 1.0 (especially the miqote SS with flowers around)). More similar to FF11 this time.

You are right, thats another reason why the trees feel alive this time.. because the trees have the Warmer tone to it. Makes me feel like when your walking through the woods I can actually sense they are alive in someway :P.

I'm really looking forward to that. With birds and stuff flying around this time.

Maybe he mean every tree with a log thicker than a roegadyn on a chocobo.
But it is not uncommon to find in a forest more than 1 tree of the same kind. If you enter a forest and see an oak, the chance is high that you find other oaks, too.

That's my point. He's trying to point at similar trees and call them identical, and then expressing 'concern' over it that it may be the copy pasta terrain we have in 1.xx.

Except nowhere in the scenes do you see identical scenery, and he can't see that because he's so fixated on the concept that two tries might look similar.

Trees looking alike are the least of the concerns about FFXIV maps. We're more worried about two road paths looking identical.

Mother Nature copy-pasted a bunch of trees! This forest is going to fail, not enough diversity.
