In case you're not familiar with the original, awful Final Fantasy XIV, which failed so hard that the entire dev team got fired, the servers were shut down and they came up with this 'new and improved' version, allow me to summarize some of the original's most gaping flaws: Spock fucked Asterix!ĭear Square, please don't ban me. ugh!) and midgets, who resemble six year olds - with facial hair!ĪAAARGH! It's like Mr. Provided, you're not put off by the angrogynous character design, cat-girls (and cat boys now, too, apparently. All nit-picking and pointing out of shameless bullshots aside, this is still going to be one of the most visually appealing MMOs to date. Whee! I'm sure there's a monster hiding somewhere beneath all of that crap. Purple particles, blue particles, lots of red particles and sometimes yellow particles. Instead of the breath-taking special FX my battles are full of ugly particle-effects, which fill the whole damn screen and make it impossible to see what the hell is going on most of the time. And in a Japanese game full of spiky, gravity-defying haircuts, that's a pretty huge deal. And while the new engine performs at a stable 60FPS even on my lower mid-range machine, the game also features its fair share of ugly, muddy textures and the most hideous, pixellated hair-textures you can possibly imagine. But those amazing spell effects up there? That realistic lighting? I dunno where that's from, but I sure as fuck haven't seen it in the beta. In fact, the game looks pretty fucking decent, the landscapes are beautiful and the expression of fear, anger or joy on the faces of your character and the NPCs you interact with are more believable and realistic than anything I have ever seen in an RPG before. I don't wanna break any rules here, I don't wanna risk my account by posting any actual screenshots, so let me just say that I'm still waiting for my game to look as amazing as that shit above.ĭon't get me wrong.
