    yeah... but it is just so old... and SE has been soooo resistent to change. how long have we been able to exceed 1024 resolutions and they just recently released updated text ffs. 2160 resolution monitors are already in the market. Granted...not many are going to pay the price for them, but they are out there.

    Just don't think SE would see the investment would be worth the time--they even scrapped the freaking DX update a couple years back.

    Those auto scaling buttons in the title screen are actually a pretty big change to FFXI's UI code when you stop to think about it. It can't just be something they slapped together by changing a few scripts.

    Take a screenshot of the title screen at two different resolutions then scale one to match the size of the other and overlay them. The buttons and the security token logo now scale with resolution to remain the same size relative to the screen regardless of resolution. And I suspect that they plan to eventually implement this throughout the UI. This required some work and I doubt they're just going to leave it at the title screen.
