    Holy cow! I'd heard the first version was bad, which is why I didn't bother downloading it, but I never would have guessed it was this bad! Did they think no one would notice? Maybe they just wanted broad feedback on all the problems so they could address everything before releasing the final version. Yeah, that's the ticket.

    Pretty dramatic improvement in the lighting for sure.

    And yet the textures are still horrible and stretched out. A swing and a miss from Squeenix, but their recent track record hasn't been all that great lately.

    I don't think it's realistic to expect perfect, unstretched textures in an MMO with as many different race and clothing models as you see in FFIXV. That's an aspiration for a single-player game where every model has a fixed wardrobe.
