Cartoony style graphics....

[Starlord]

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.

FFXIV 1.0 is how you say now FFXIV 2.0 is ken dolls....... The clothing, armor everything about the characters look plastic.

I see that in some of the clips but not others. Since they said that at least some of it was old footage I am willing to wait and see some more newer examples before I crab about it anymore.

Some of it looks really nice too which is why pages ago I said I was thinking/hoping there was some sort of problem because different clips were inconsistent with each other.

Also, it IS pre alpha and I'm willing to wait until at least a beta phase before I get overly worried.

But I will worry some, the graphics in games are important to me and I don't tend to stick around long in games that aren’t visually striking.

rokien, you are plastic.

does not look more plastic to me than now




rokien played the game already it seems.

in some footage they look less good.. (maybe earlier version) we never know.. what does it tell aus? play it first or wait a bit before you come to conclusions like you already play it.

They do not...

Looks far from plastic to me. but i'm blind apparently teehee. * Uses stick to feel around the room and hits the wall to the kitchen by accident*. =( *cries*

They do actually look fairly rough which could be due to the lack of proper lighting and shaders not being fully implemented, however we don't know if this is the case or not.

I don't think that would be the case because the lighting is better.

I don't think they look like plastic at all I'll save my judgement though when it's in beta phase and not alpha and not jump to conclusions right off the bat.

Models don't have as much depth as the models in 1.0. this shouldn't come as a surprise, i said a year ago in a ps3 related post that due to PS3 memory constraints texture depth was going to take a hit.
