Like that?

Ignore the thunderstorm (and chat). >_>


It looks like the ship and a block of water are one piece, animated to appear as if it's moving through the water, and that single piece is just moving through the actual water; which actually is going in the opposite direction.

Was it really too hard to animate a ship moving through real water in FFXIV? Some proprietary engine.. Wasn't FFXI done properly? If it wasn't, it was still a hellova lot better than the sequel, which should be improved over the original.


I'd still take actual object/landscape shadows in the game and reduced LOD display over this boat issue any day. In fact, I ride the boat maybe a few times a month because it's just a complete waste of time.
