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

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!

Tabula Rasa is an interesting name for yourself. Since no one ever complained about grass, I think you and everyone else that makes statements like that must indeed have an empty brain, ready for the slightest idiocy to be imprinted upon it. I got something for your brain: education. Try it out.

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

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.

Which is exactly why they are overhauling the game and in tern--> the graphics, because they NEED more players.

Unfortunately(especially at this point), not everyone is fans of SE and players aren't going to pay for a game that only looks good =/.

Actually, gameplay is what got people to start playing. Once it wasn't a complete absolute pile of shit, people started coming back. 1.18-1.21 was when most of the changes to the way the game plays were made. Majority of people came back with 1.21 because of the implementation of jobs.
