Upgraded texture pack?

[Dazusu]

An HD texture option would be amazing, but I can't see it ever happening simply due to the amount of textures actually in this game. Can you imagine how many artists it would take to redesign every texture in the game, and every piece of armor, for every race. It's a pipe dream, but one that I would personally like to keep alive

i would happily pay a minimal charge extra per month to be able to play in HD, who wouldn't?

Much like Daniel_Hatcher, I wouldn't either.

I already pay over 30€ per month, a bit higher than before thanks to the payment thingy change. If memory serves, I pay now over 150€ more per year for two accounts, and I can't even enter to the 'lottery' with both of them. ;[

So no, I would not happily pay more each month. If anything, this game needs a discount, a big one, on the monthly fee! I would probably pay a one-time fee however, as long as it didn't make everything as creepy as is in FFXIV. xd

I actually disagree with the terribleness statement after recent and upcoming updat

This is true, but, FFXIV isn't FFXI. It's not even FFXI with upgraded graphics. It has its own thing going on, and playing FFXIV won't make my taru Meyi look any prettier. Or make Ru'Aun Gardens so gorgeous I never log out of the game again.

I would actually be happy if the just upgraded the textures in the enviroments. That's a perfect place to start as far as rolling this out in stages. It would perfectly compliment the overhaul in the UI

[Gasher]

I would pay in order to access new (HD-quality) graphics.

[Volarione]

I would also pay for this.

Thats why i think SE should do this like Bethesda with Skyrim, giving tools to the community on an official "mods website", look skyrim went full upgraded on HD textures on like 1 month with the fan base "modding community".

crowd source it! I'm sure plenty of FFXI players are skilled with photoshop and what better to do to kill time while waiting for that one void watch party member to run to sky who doesn't have the warp ><;

[Nala]

heh lets blow up mooshywooshy's in box with requests to get on that... if they ever sanction it that is.

After seeing so many people willing to pay for prettier graphics, I now realize why Xbox Live and Playstation market are such huge money makers, even things like FF13 Costumes.

Wish I'd of thought of it.
