NIGHT TIME!!

[Warlock]

I love how the lighting looks on the first two shots. Especially the second one.

This one looks a tad too bright, though:


Now I really wanna see how it will look outside of town without all the lamps and stuff.

Good thing Eorzeans don't think like New Yorkers or Las Vegas else you would say cities brightness blinds you

[Zantetsuken]

Looks great~ The darkness is deep and much more realistic than the blue-tint look from 1.0

I can't wait to see other weather.

"Ah, but will facing north-by-northeast at 2:45 a.m. while the moon is a waning crescent result in a 27% increase in your chances to synthesize HQ mythril ingots!? That is real the question! ~Fernehalwes"


Lmaoo Such a blatant XI Reference. Oh man. So good. Sooo good.

[SodRansom]

Lol, woohoo! A blog post with some real meat to it!

Don't get me wrong, I love reading Fernehawles witty banter, but to find a blog post with something actually substantial in it is pretty cool!

Thanks Ferne!

Looks awesome
Ive not seen many games having moonphases in their nightcycles

This is why even with XIV SE would never confirm or deny things like moon phases.

Answers are a prison. It also takes out all the fun of discovering arcane knowledge like elemental affinities. (Even if all you do is look it up on a wiki page.) But SE did finally officially name the moon phases. (In v1.x just hover the mouse over the moon phase icon). Same for weather.

FFXI was superb in this regard. The moon had a slight color to it the same as the day's crystal affinity. And there were a few special quests that required a certain moon phase or time of day or night, or even weather. Extreme weather had a double elemental effect. Each zone only supported appropriate weather, like no snow on tropical islands, and was perhaps influenced slightly by the time of in-game year. So much attention to detail in FFXI.

This is what keeps me going back to XI.

Meh.. From those shots, the night sky look to boring, I was expecting something more stellar. Like you can see the galaxy or something to give you a reason to look up and admire besides the moon.

I think most of us are going to enjoy looking up at a sky that doesn't hold a looming Imminent Death Ball at all times.

I like the night shots. Looks very... Nighty. I can't wait to see how Limsa/La Noscea look .

I think it will look better in an open area where your view isn't obstructed by trees.
