I think FFXI graphics have aged excellently. When you boost everything up to high res, I was actually pretty impressed. Best graphics from mmos of that time but the world, characters and backstory all seem pretty shallow and uninspired next to EQ which was unparalleled in regard to it's environmental storytelling.

Yeah, they pretty good. Only disappointment is that char creation models look quite a lot different from game models :c Not sure I understand that.

You have to look closer. It's not just the backstory as they tell it in a cinematic or any one source, it was the fact that everything had a purpose in the world. They didn't just throw everything together, there was a lot of forethought down to many of the smallest details.

here is a good compendium of just a handful and just a drop in the proverbial bucket. Sorry, but ffxi was not even close to this level.

Im just giving him a hard time, rick. I like the lore in EQ

However, good lore alone does not a good game make.
