[wish12oz]

I like that my thread is being bumped again!

While I agree about the clipping plane, let's go all out and have them update the DirectX Wrapper that the game runs under. While I would prefer either a DirectX 10 or 11 update just upping it to 9 would solve a lot of issues with newer graphics cards and would allow for shiny water on PC and XBox.

The clipping limit is for aesthetic effect.

It is a performance setting- just not one anyone really needs to turn down anymore.

The only problem with using tools to push back the clipping plane is it also pushes back the fog. And in some areas at least, the fog is therefor visual effect, not just to mask detail loss in the distance.

some are saying DX10 support would be a bad idea, actually windows XP which is the only currently supported version of windows that doesn't support DX10, and it loses official support in April unless MS does something to change this, once XP is nolonger supported DX10 nolonger seems like a bad idea, till then I say atleast give us full DX9c support and hey if you really want to why not give us DX10 support as an option for systems that can handle it

Yes, yes thank you, I tire of staring at clear jello (La Theine), or black tar (Port Bastok says hi) XD

Yeah your talking about draw distence. FFXI is very poor on that cus its based on something 10 years ago.
Its important for them to do this. Its almost more important if they redid the zones in HD and then did this.

I'm all for reducing the clipping pane.

You mean increasing it. You can already reduce it. ;p
