Firiona has a serious case of the derp.
And fuck noooooo, I hate fucking ratongas. Most pointless race ever.
All in all, very bad reworking of the original art.
But that aside, I don't fucking care. I don't care if it's more cartoon than realism, and I couldn't care less about the giant shoulderpads.
Oh, and I find the crying amusing. "This concept art is WoW style, so it will be a WoW-clone gameplay wise."

Yeah, if anything, EQ1 didn't look like KP's art due to technological limitations, not art direction of the game itself.
I'm of the mind that if the game is good, it's good, regardless of artwork. I will, however, be disappointed if that is indicative of their art direction. I like WoW's art style...in WoW.
Well the original art director for EQ1, Rosie Rappaport, is art director for EQNext. Take that for what you will, but if there's any hope of EQNext resembling the original game, it'll be her.. And, interestingly enough, she was not art director for EQ2.

She is duel wielding a bow and a sword half the size of herself at the same time. It's like, "YO BROS, I'M GONA RIDE A MOTORCYCLE WHILE I DRIVE MY TRUCK, LOL1!"
My brain cannot digest the levels of retardation they just unveiled.
Must be a new class swap system. Fv was a caster for years and now is a bow wielding, titless ranger who shoots swords as arrows. Damn this shit is next gen. Also if you look close she has a gstring

I thought so too at first but they were dog like in EQ1 so unless we're getting a complete reworking of kobolds it's not likely.

Yep, she was officially a paladin. Her visual design has never made sense.
You know what, I'll say it: the art style is starting to grow on me a little. Really, Firiona's sword is the only thing that's continuing to strike me as stupid across multiple viewings, the rest of it I'm pretty much fine with.
Thats cool
People need to chill out until we see actual in game stuff. You cant tell anything from concept art and box art because the real game can be so different. Save your rage people! You might need it later! Or maybe not, lets see?
I've always been one of the 'it's the gameplay, not the graphics' people, but... uhg. Definitely a negative.
I don't have anything against cartoon graphics, but I've had my fill of them with WoW, and I don't want to be reminded of the game that hurt the genre so badly. I also long for more realism in my gameplay as well as graphics. You'd think they would want to make their game look more distinctive, but I guess they want to draw in WoW kiddies with familiarity.
You could have shown me that dragon without telling me where it was from and I'd have sworn it was from WoW.

But hey, modern MMO players are always talking about playing with their "toon", they'll love this.

I'm guessing FV has a sword (and looks more warrior-like in general) in response to the current trend towards strong female leads in games in recent years, which is probably more appealing to the young 'gamer girl'. This incarnation of FV is certainly more 'modern' than the phallic-staff-wielding-alabaster-heaving-bosom version us aging nerds are used to.

Lol i dont know, I just googled aladdin and looked for one with sabres. Its all thats been on my mind this last day or so since i saw the EQ artwork. I actually quite like that arabian themed stuff, its quite interesting, and Vanguard did a good job with that with Khal and whatever. But I hate cartoon style, I remember feeling patronised by it even when I was 10.
