Yes, the graphics are absolutely dreadful.
However, the thing that is particularly reduced functionality and highly annoying is the new tasks screens Before, thre was a simple listing of all of your pending tasks where, when you clicked them, they listed the text of the story behind the task and each of the items you had to complete. It was straightforward and infomative.
Now, they break the tasks up into three categories, story, sidestory, and event, so you have to click three tabs to see what is available for you to do. That's irritating, but minor.
However, what is inexcusable is that they once you get to the tasks, they don't list either the story or the items you have to do to finish. If you want to know what you are supposed to be doing, you have to individually click each item, and if you want to know why, you have to click the three dots. That means you have to click two, three or more times just to figure out what you should be doing -- every single time.
Finally, unlike before, when you push the task button, it fills the whole screen and you have to close it by the red X in the upper right, rather than just clicking another button along the bottom to get where you want to go.
