    TERA, next gen, has your beloved normal mapping, and has flashy effects. Has it all.

    "it all"? Tera is nowhere "next gen", it's engine is pretty much "last gen" actually. The Unreal Engine 3 is from 2006. You may be mistaking it for the Unreal Engine 4 that will be released in 2012.

    It has (very limited) normal mapping, but textures are quite a lot lower resolution than the ones in FFXIV (a quarter of the resolution for characters and equipment, to be precise), and 3d models are much less complex (the polycount isn't even on the same planet), resulting in a LOT lower level of detail. Also the draw distance doesn't even get near.
    That falls a lot short of "having it all".
