High-res font = yay; Now, how about the title screen?

But still requires a disproportionate amount of processing power compared to the extra picture quality you'd get.

As in, so these enhancements apply to NON-ps2 peeps only right?

Applies only to the PC. I'm not 100% certain but I think the Xbox doesn't get this either.

Honestly, I'm amazed there are still working original model PS2s in existence. Who still has no other game console than a PS2, and no PC on top of that? You are just going to have to accept that eventually, it WILL become difficult to impossible to support the PS2 eventually.

Even the cheapest budget PCs and netbooks today can run this game. Go get one.

If they increase the resolution of status effect icons.. They actually opens new doors to modders. It means we can have custom icons to everything in crisp and clear resolutions. They don't actually have to change\add icons for it to benefit us at all, just have the client support it. (Modder's are currently limited to an incredibly small resolution for status effect icons.. it makes it difficult to produce something that doesn't look squished, fuzzy, or bland.)

The game uses lower resolution textures than the engine is capable of using in general. Modders can already replace textures with ones of a higher resolution, but it's such a massive undertaking that it's never been done for more than single pieces of gear.

One less thing for some of you to .dat mod lol =P
It's bad. It's really bad. Don't do it!

And i say "really?" to this post. Of all the things that could use improvement, you mention the title screen that you spam enter through and see for about 6 seconds. Give us HD-Gradient chat backgrounds before that. Even better, I'll make them myself so the dev team doesn't have to do a bit of work. Player contribution and appreciation hard at work. I need nothing in return for I am amazing like that. :D

I never spoke of gear once. Wasn't talking about gear at all.
Furthermore the icons can't be replaced with anything higher res than they currently are, ask any UI modder if you don't believe me.

This door was open awhile ago. There's tons of hd mods out there.

If what I made out with bablefish is correct the japanese thread on this subject seems to say that they are going to allow custom background resolutions and make the super sample trick officially supported by FFXI's config. Although it's bablefish so I might be wrong.

Please point out where I said YOU were talking about gear. I just listed one example of where modders have applied high-res textures. I was simply explaining to you the fact that the game is already fundamentally capable of using higher resolution textures than it actually uses. Certain textures, by their inherent design, of course, can prove to be exceptions, because the game operates under the assumption that certain textures are a certain size.

I still have a working early model PS1. My PS2 is still working because I run most games from the HDD to save wear on the optical drive.
