Yeah, my mistake. Wanted to write "is still pre-alpha" or "didn't reach alpha". Both mixed up.

Sorry, I guess I'm the only one but I'll pass on flat trees and rotating grass.

Stuff like that is made that way for performance reasons, not because it looks good.

I think what needs to be dealt with more than the fact that the grass is 2D is the fact that all plant life is covered in horrible jaggies that cast horrible jaggy shadows on the ground. Yes I'd like them to deal with the 2D grass, maybe have a "Lush Foliage" box to click on the graphics options, so the people who've built some theoretical 2030 super computer can run it without issues, but seeing the trees cast xbox huge pixels at the ground is not cool.

Looks fine to me~ few touch up and it'll be great. And please no auto rotate stuff. It is very noticeable and poor. We're not in N64 Mario Kart anymore. I do own Xenoblades and wouldn't recommended comparing different area to each other. Either way it's still a demo, we don't even know if this is on high setting or not.

By identical it's the same art asset. Not a unique art asset.

1. Go play FFXIV
2. When grass shows up in FFXIV, switch to Xenoblade until grass goes away.
3. ...
4. PROFIT!
