someone complain that graphics is downgrade... so....

[Ilakya]

with nice style of arts
with nice graphics while you can play with other 100 of player (not only 40)
and I do care about game play more than graphics.

Let just say we have arts as nice as FFXII with acceptable graphics as we can have in FFXIII while you can play with tons of other player while you can customize yourself, Why someone complain about it!?



lets just have fun with this nice game

"OMG THE GRASS!!!!!!!!!!111111111111111" Idk people complain about everything because they're dumb. The graphics look great, and gameplay>graphics anyway

If anyone expected the graphics to not be a downgrade from what we have now, they were fooling themselves.

Yeah, and I just got called a fanboy! ooooo that got me right in the heart! Pow Right in the kisser!

If your against them your a fanboy.

Yes I'm optimistic, and there's nothing wrong with that either, staying positive is good karma, If you keep thinking it will turn out like shit then it will probably end up like shit.. That's why I try to keep a positive attitude, but the there are times like the ARR= Downgrade thread.. where I blow a fuse.. But lets not go there.

Anyways, Gameplay> Graphics All the way!

Gameplay > Graphics

But that doesnt mean you have to give up one for the either - its not a "pick one" kind of thing. I pick both, aww yeah I'm greedy but I dont care - I'm paying for it lol.

Obviously anyone would pick both... That's not what they mean when they say gameplay over graphics.

Gameplay is more important in the long run because without good gameplay, you loose subscribers, graphics aren't going to keep them playing.
The point is, the graphics have taken a hit, in order for game play to succeed. Example, displaying more characters on screen, doing more with the environment, etc..

Besides, FFXIV in ARR will still be the leading MMO in graphics on the market, even after its hit. So, you kind of are getting both given the situation.

Gameplay didnt keep all these players going through launch till now :P. I'm pretty sure the graphics and being fans of SE did that lol.

But I agree good gameplay is extremely important to the longevity of the game in an entire timeline scene. However since FF isnt going for a stylized look its really important they dont mess up their fantasy realism.

I'm going to be honest, I don't give a hoot about the grass issue nor the notion of how many characters I can have on my screen at once, but... watching that TGS trailer, I constantly felt like I was watching a graphical downgrade with the look of the characters when shown in real-time. The way they look now is so awesome and realistic (for a video game), but I got the feeling that I was seeing a hint of "cartoony-ness" in the 2.0 character models, which I find very unfortunate.

I'm going to miss this game looking so good. It's weird to me; this game is now over two years old, and technology has changed since then, making what was available when this was first released less expensive... and yet, they're downgrading the graphics? I mean, for PS3, sure, that makes sense, but... for PC, too? I'm hoping it's just a settings tweak or something, and I can somehow retain the awesome graphics seen now in 2.0. Probably wishful thinking as SydeBeheln said above me, but... just sad. :/

The issue isn't really graphics, if you have a strong PC you can make the game looks as good if not better than current XIV, but removing subtle animations here and there can really change the feel of the game.
