Forbes article of the Killer MMOs of 2013Follow

Between in-game footage of both games, it's fair to say Bless at least "looks" significantly better than ARR, in terms of graphics.

After the recent Live Letter, I was really disappointed by all the bad textures.

So PS4 is confirmed?

lol, it just ignited some fanboy passion inside me thats all ^^ I guess healthy competition can benefit the fans as well.

"I highly doubt any developer would willingly draw inspiration from the biggest, most embarrassing MMORPG flop of all time."---Bahahahaha

I said it in another thread, but the animations in Bless are awkward and unnatural. I couldn't stand to look at it. Everyone is so stiff and wooden.

You and i know i have very little patience with SE and FFXIV, but that outright looks copy pasted as Hell! Tho their lalafells look better, they look like warriors, ours look like toddlers.

exactly what i was gonna say, looks like a Ronso....then again...Ronso looked like Mareg from grandia 2....(now that i think about it FFX had similar plot points to Grandia 2.......Coming up with original content is pretty hard nowadays i guess.....I think bless should have at least added another playable race or something...........If I was making an MMO, here would be my character lineup: Amphibian people, Shape shifting shadow creatures, mole people, some type of feathered character, humans, and maybe some type of crustacean character that can molt into different body armors lol^^.......seems like nowadays, its the same type of characters in everything...kinda boring actually.....elves, dwarfs, people with horns/ animal parts where they don't belong.....one thing i did like about WOW was the character that break the mold. Undead, cow people, pandas etc....It would be fun if xiv introduced a more animal like character.....I'd be happy as a clam if they introduced something similar to the bangaa ^^

They really don't. I think they used to be okay... but now they're sort of toddler-ish and lame. Their jump is also totally silly and cartoony, like they're jumping with joy and spread eagle... I don't like the new animations, so I'm probably going to use a Roegadyn.

I do prefer Tarutaru which looked more like cartoony bobbleheads. Lalafell look too much like actual children for me.

Tarutaru at least follow the super-deformed/nendoroid/chibi body aspect ratios properly. The issue with that was that a Tarutaru's head is twice the size of a mithra's head, and it looks weird when they sit down next to each other. They tried to address that problem with the Lalafell, but lost some of the charm of the 1:3 aspect ratio as a result.

You just hit the nail on the head as to why I'm switching my character to a lady Roegadyn. I like being cute and tiny, but I would also like to see what my armor looks like.

Subtle, very subtle lol

I seriously did an actual physical double take. Mouth agape, head jerking back and forth, and a hearty "WHUUUUU" issuing forth. Best laugh I've had in weeks :)
