It really feels like 2.0 is sacrificing the close up details for the larger details. Less detail on characters more detail in surroundings. Of course I want to be in the damn Alpha/Beta so i can see what kind of graphics people with higher spec machines can pump out of the engine.

ppl like you fail to realize that to have the best of current game together with ALL ARR is coming with the same few that can play current version at max w/o a problem will be the few that will play ARR ..do you think SE wants that?... making the graphics with so many lil animations and demanding graphics was a mistake to begin with bcuz not as many ppl as SE would like have the PC to handle it ...they need the money to keep the show going ..drill that into your brains is not that complicated

The level of hostility in your post is unnecessary in response to what Jynx said.

First off, it was confirmed by a community rep that there are some things being sacrificed. Also, he only stated that he wants to play the Alpha/Beta so he can see what it's like on max settings, since it was also confirmed by the devs that they don't present at max settings.

Reading comprehension. Drill that into your brains. It's not that complicated.

Anyone notice how the Mi'Qote dont have tails in any of the gameplay vids we have seen so far? i have a funny feeling they are still working on chr detail right now. unless of course this is what we get as some people seem to think.

"bah, cat people dont need tails"

They had tails (even the male Miqote did.) the issue was in the live letter they stated they actually had a bug for that specific version which reset their length to 0 considering it's going to have length customization. So I doubt they're working on character detail and it was just a random bug when they were working on a related system (Customization)

Did you not watch the translated video? They mention this exact thing...

anyone noticed sidestepping looks disjointed in alpha footage? hope this is just a placeholder.

Everything about movement looks generic, so I wouldn't doubt if that's how it will be come release. They'll likely refine it a bit more but it actually looks pretty standard for an older MMO.

Rokien is FFXIV's greatest troll.

All he has to do is post a new thread and say something stupid, then watch the entire community implode on itself.

The entire graphics issue is irrelevant, nothing you say or do is going to change the course of what's happening. Griping aloud about it or defending it astutely does absolutely nothing.

As to the impression on whether or not the graphics look 'cartoony'. I disagree. They're not hyperrealisitc, but they're not terribly far in the uncanny valley territory either.

But I waste my time trying to speak reason in a Rokien thread. Resume your self-inflicted social segregation.
