It was time. The graphics were definitely starting to show their age, and most people have PCs that can handle the improvements to the lighting engine. They learned a lot with XVI, too.

Another suggestion for everyone: Please remember to use the UNIQUE animation when previewing your character, and snap a few screenshots with the different patterns of shadows and light. The sparkle...

I really, really, really wish we had better control of the lighting in the benchmark. I found once I swapped over from the static standing pose and over to the "unique" pose and got real movement in...

It was this. Our PCs today could have handled it, but in 2010 they could not. The same computer that had been running FFXI without any problems choked and died on 1.0, and it only became playable...

To get the most apples to apples comparison, I fired up my old Endwalker benchmark.

( Tumblr maybe won't let this work but I'll try..... )

They actually will stay up for a lot longer if people didn't pull early!

Also you can open them up at any time from the Duty window once they closed.

That said, I agree with these points:

Yeah, same. We have to hold the hand of our clients whenever they do a version upgrade for this exact reason. We can only auto-magic so much of it - some of the new settings we can make a...

That's a great catch. I think a lot of us are going to have to be tweaking our settings with 7.0 to adjust for the new reality of what the lighting engine does. Monitors themselves also offer some...

On the posts where the critiques are ones that I can 100% see as an issue, I'm adding in +1. Quite a few of the problems are things I hope can be fixed in QA before 7.0 is released - the meshes on...

Another +1 for moonkeeper fangs! It's why we roll Moonkeeper, we want big round kitty eyes and sharp pointy teefs!~

She did have dimples. You just never saw them before because there was no light scattering coming from a bottom light point before, so they were never seen except as extra shadows on the mouth. The...

Right? 1.0 player as well. I couldn't quite get my 1.0 Lalafell to look like my FFXI Tarurutaru. I couldn't get my 2.0 version to look like the 1.0 version. And now I can't get the 7.0 version...

Bring it back! It was an integral part of the way I thought of my Grandma character looking and she doesn't feel quite the same without it.

I've been reviewing some of the complaints and messing around in the character creator on my beefy beefy system running at maximum. Here's my thoughts on some of the issues noted in this thread:

Back in FFXI, I had a raid member who explained they used the parser not as a competition, but to help them fine tune their gear. They played Puppetmaster. The game's most customizeable, most stat...

I'm a bit nervous about emojis, and I've always found our ascii art macros charming, but you to have a good point.

I think the real hidebound thinking around the chatbox UI is because of the...

After an expansion is over and a relic is no longer the best in slot, the odds of someone wanting to adjust the attributes on a weapon are very low.

For the Bozjan weapons, it's not that big a...

I believe there's a "software token" version:

Seriously. Wuk Lamat is refreshingly innocent compared to that grade A asshole Zenos simp.

I liked her voice. Listened to the video that compared them in all the languages. They all sounded okay, although the German and French sounded the weirdest to me since I speak neither language.
...

This one can be explained by Mamook being the name of the similar zone in FFXI.

Regarding the multi-verse timelines: Once you reconnect with Hydalaen after returning from Elpis, she says that the...

We got the Scorpion Harness in XIV already anyway - it's a Eureka thing.

People are leaning toward beastmaster, but with the news of the XI crossover, I'd say puppetmaster is also an option.


BST may be too similar to BLU
PUP had insane customizable mecha builds...

One way to get people to commit to paying both subs would be to offer the FFXI bundle only with a 6 month or longer subscription. Thus, you ensure people are paying up front.

I played FFXI for a decade. Unlike XIV, each chunk of MSQ in each expansion in FFXI was a unique story. Of the expansions, Treasures of Aht Urghan seems to blend in the most with the New World in...
