I don't think that pic was taken at the highest spec, I could be wrong but my feet didn't look that bad on my male blood elf. still bad texture and detail on most everything.

TARUS DONT HAVE KNEES LOL

That's most definitely how they look, it's the gear though.

Hay guys, my feets are triangles (almost, shut up)

I hadn't realized how dated WoW looks now (not talking about those super compressed, shitty res shots that were posted). All the armor looks like they were painted on the character except for the pointy shoulder pads and hats sticking out. Thank god for next gen. Armor actually looks like armor. XIV

WoW vs FFXI graphics wise comes down to artistic style and preference. I can jack up the resolution on FFXI with the registry hack and make it look so damn sweet. Just as nice as WoW with the settings on the highest.

Artistically I love FFXI it is a world of beauty and substance. Things blend, the world looks right to me, it's a place I'd love to visit. WoW is a fun cartoon. It's colorful, it's dynamic and it's fake. There is no continuity to the visuals.

FFXI utilizes a carefully selected palette of commentary colors. WoW utilizes a limitless palette and therefore allows conflicting colors to interact.

WoW armor looks like sweat shirts & pants with cut out felt accents glued on.

Agreed.

Had to dig around for these on Brandson's LJ. He took em while we were leveling new jobs after ToAU dropped...

I have never seen a screenshot for FFXI look this good:

I'm also going to have to agree with Rowe's comment about WoW/FFXI.

Ack! Going through all these old pictures is making me miss all the good times... FFXI may have its flaws but it was a great game/experience nonetheless.

[Xenega]

Personally, I was disappointed when they showed the "new" races, and they were all FFXI ones with different names.
I was hoping that they would add something different. I love Mithra and all, but Bunny girls anyone?
They were my fav in FFXII... lol

The screenshots that i did post were not to show how bad/good is wow graphic wise,these were the results i got from google about that race we were talking about and believe it or not they were the best looking screenshots

This is wow on Ultra high settings with all hacks to improve graphic + million AA

Problem : Characters always look out of place and if you find any screenshots for bosses/hnms its a huge lol for any none-wow players it look like a complete mess like this

another problem is during events like dynamis or bosses wth is this? keep in mind that i used best wow pictures i could find

VS This is the worst screenshot i could have found from FF11 Dynamis everything on low etc

It's not about the extra resolution or AA, it's how the game is built no matter how much AA you add to wow, screens i posted make it look so wrong somehow, yes i prefer to play on pc who can play FF11 on low settings over wow with ultra high seriously i think im going blind just looking at these screenshots

[Priran]

SHADOW FUCKING MANTLE

[Rowe]

It is because Blizzard decided to make WoW the Cartoon Land of MMOs.

Buildings and structures in FFXI are constructed with Scale and Proportion. All the elements that make up a structure are in proportion. Examining a structure you see it is built as a structure in the real world would be.

WoW because it is a cartoon land does not need to be concerned with scale or proportion. This lets them make their world large, fast and dirty. Pushing the product out and expanding it took priority over refinement.

[Kurokikaze]

Whoa what a clusterfuck of a UI.

[Averrinicus]

I always feel so midget in wow, nothing feels normal lol

[Seph]

Rowe this is not an excuse there is million cartoon game/mmorpg that look million time better and again i'm not talking about the better looking game "hell i posted worse screen of ff11 remember ;p " im talking about game design

Things as simple as players names looks way off in wow even characters in areas looks as if they were photoshoped in there as if they dont even belong to the game.

Whoa what a clusterfuck of a UI.

Exactly ~ i'm talking about this not the graphics~ and i swear that i have tried to post best screenshots available i'm not a hater on anything lol just saying wth is that

[Omniyoji]

I don't get how people complain about FFXI's UI... look at all that crap on WoW! All those green names too @_@

[Averrinicus]

I think the UI on FFXI is well done, it's minimalistic. you can see more of your surroundings and whats going on.
