Cartoony style graphics....

Yeah characters look like reflective ghosts in the sun. Am a huge fan of the dynamic lighting from environment though, the shadows from the flora is fantastic looking.

Obviously from my first comment you can see I dont really think people should be light bulbs when the sun is out. I am very very very pale and even I dont glow like an Edward from Twilight.

Just thought of what it really looks like on the characters skin, it looks like someone has an infinite camera flash effect.

The chocobo feathers are changed, they are definitely missing some kind of smoothing/opacity effect - but perhaps the light is too harsh and thats the only other difference. The lighting should be an easy change though - I wouldnt be worried much if that was it.

Chocobo feathers, and other fur/hair like materials are still different though.

SE needs to put version numbers in their screenshots lol, anyway this photo has some pretty good looking Mithra hair for whatever version that gameplay is... (who knows.. lol):
