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.
