Sorry. I was distracted by highlander boobs. What were we talking about again?

Umm Roegaedyn boobs you mean. Check the gear.

I think judging her by her racial clothes she is a female roegadyn.

Holy shit, I couldn't tell the difference. That's pretty cool, actually.

OMG Praise the lord we have Skin tone again! The first time they showed footage of ARR, despite knowing it was unfinished, I was so worried we would be getting a Dramticly Different Character Art Style.

So happy to see things have gotten back to normal and that we didn't have to sacrifice High Quality Character Models for performance enhancements.

Wait, so you're telling me all that bitching and moaning was over nothing?!

COLOR ME SURPRISED!

I don't think someone could fairly say that's at the same level as FFXIV 1.0, but it does seem like an improvement to the other picture you posted. The hairstyle is interesting too. I wonder what the model will look like in a place with actual lighting though. FFXIV: ARR doesn't have a very flattering lighting system and things often look dull (like in the new picture) or way too oversatured (like in the old picture).

You don't think someone can fairly say it's at the same level, but you can say that it's not as good? Get off your high horse, mister!

the screenshot is from the early ps3 footage they showed at TGS, and there was also dev commentary about how the youtube encoding wasn't right and resulted in even worse quality

I don't see a difference.

I don't think the beta will have any graphical improvements. Just more content. The lighting effects are fine. Shadows are simpler but they are used much more diversely.
