Hi Res Texture Pack

Count me in. I'd kill for some high resolution textures, but at the end of the day I think it's going to wind up on the shoulders of the modding community to get us up to high resolution textures.

We...."Had our ways" to do it in FFXI I'm no computer whiz when it comes to this stuff but if the game gets popular enough and the community is there, the texture packs will come in one form or another. Although I'd much rather them be from SE themselves as they should have all the textures sitting on a computer somewhere, unless they for some reason aren't designing the textures in high rez and then compressing them.

Yoshida told us that he didn't think we would notice, let's show him that he was wrong on this one people. Let's show him that we do care.

Thing is, the entire game engine was rebuild from scratch to work with low-res textures. The game looks terrible compared to 1.0, but there's nothing they can do to change it. They'd have to rewrite it again.

The direct11 version would be enough to support higher res textures. The only limitation to texture size atm is the directx limitation. The moment they are on 11 they can easily bump it up.

If you want a better visual experience, disable fxaa and play around with Sweet Fx. That way you can get sharp crisp textures and anti-aliasing.

While the textures as they currently are don't really bother me. My PC can handle higher res textures and I'd gladly take them if they offered.

I'm curious though, do they still have high res textures saved somewhere? Logically you start high res and scale down to suit performance. Couldn't they just put the high res textures in the options for us? I get that the game needs to run on the PS3, but at the same time they're limiting the PC and PS4. Why do we have to cater to the PS3's limited power? Note, I have nothing against the PS3 players but I'm pretty sure the PS3 players know theirs is the weakest platform this game is available on. I feel like those of us on the stronger platforms could at least get something as simple as a texture resolution option. If for some unknown reason they actually made low res textures for the game and have no high res ones to speak of, I don't see us getting better textures at all because that has a lot of cost involved and I'd much rather see money going into the gameplay than it's looks. The games graphics are certainly good in my eyes but everything could be better.

The PS3 also isn't even capable of DirectX11 (or any DirectX) so we're already getting one thing the PS3 can't handle. Why can't we get the textures the PS3 can't handle as well? PS3 limitations ceases to be a valid excuse with the implementation of DX11. Hell, the current version of the game for PC couldn't run on PS3 either. It's already had to be tweaked for the console has it not?

We shouldn't have to do that though.

I'm pretty sure SweetFX can't increase texture resolution.

turning off FXAA clears the muddy texture look, since it smears everthing

I would rather have in game AA options. Your solution is a workaround the current issue. Many of us are suggesting future improvements.
