The Pictures you gave had rather ackward textures and that curtain effect isn't mind shattering. >_>

Your point being? It is highly detracting from what is generally a nice looking world and i do hope you aren't implying those textures aren't to do with anything but the game engine itself.

Considering the textures look far nicer in my game than yours...yea...And the curtain hardly detracts from my experience since I know why it is there.

Just like in real life you need to be close up to something to fully admire it. :P

And what hardware do you have Verde, please keep in mind this topic is not supposed to be a mine is better then yours, this was designed to be something to grab a Devs or Mods attention and get the topic moved to be worked on as we all seem to agree that the client does need optimization at some point.

Just looked at his post history, he has a 5870, i have a 6970. He's just trying to troll.

I am in favor of any game design not using mostly the CPU to generate graphics like a former title I can think of. /cough

I am in favor of graphics.

I am strongly against my computer having a seizure because it can't keep up with the graphics.

Yes Sinz I understand that, questions I have are what version of drivers are the pair of you using, What OS what Direct X version. I know ATI is horrid with drivers, perhaps there might actually be something there, the only way well know for sure is if the pair of you post your stats.

In my case I have heard possibly an aftermarket cooler may help my video card out substantially as the EVGA stock cooler apparently is not the greatest.

Still wont solve the issues with game design but maybe just maybe there is something here.

I myself have never had any issues with ATI drivers, and i've been using them since my GForce4 MX440 died 50 bajillion years ago, but still i'd be stupid to rule a driver issue out hence me asking for the screenshots. But since he unsurprisingly didn't show up i'll chalk one up on the scoreboard for me.

An acknowledgement of it would be nice, yes, but I feel the need to point out most users are saying FFXIV is using somewhere between 1-2GB of RAM. A PS3 only has 512MB, so they MUST be aware of the issue. The game in it's current state won't run on a PS3.
