Grass

[Shougun]

That image isn't even really applicable for this debate. You're comparing a video screenshot that requires better hardware to render in real time than you could ever afford, versus the graphics in the game that are generated from textures. They are two completely different techniques. You can't just say we'll use this FMV grass for ARR. They're completely different assets.

Yea, I guess they could make the grass look better. Honestly though, grass is the last thing I care about. If you really are that worried about Grass, maybe you should play a game like Flower.... I understand that you are just wanting a greater visual experience for everyone, but if you're walking around staring at the grass all day, I'm not sure this is the right game for you... That's just my opinion though. I'm not saying I wouldn't enjoy it, but the amount of time I'd enjoy it is probably about 20 minutes out of the 525949 minutes in a year. I don't know about you, but I don't exactly watch the ground while I'm running around doing stuff or crafting in one position. I'll only see the ground as a peripheral view, so I won't see the jagged edges.

Besides, after FFXI for over 5 years, jagged grass is the least of my worries. In fact, it isn't one.

Linkurrra, and I both said it was a rendered piece. Obviously games dont look like a prerendered piece, so I'm not sure who you are trying to address with that first paragraph. (Edit: I've made it even clearer now)

I look at the environment 24/7 and at least every 10 minutes of an hour while being around grass in FFXIV I was like "that is really bad grass"..

So I guess yeah we are different that way, and lol to FFXI reference.

If I recall I liked sarutabaruta's grass more then FFXIV's. Though FFXI used much less of it - and it ate taru taru's whole. I'm thinking of that place next to the tree you find the moon tear? or stone.. its been a while. I remember there being much smaller grass too but.. meh its been a while.
