It is. Weird right? Maybe it has to be on how important vision and visuals as methods to gather information? When something looks bad it ruins your experience, period. Like when you look at mountains that look like they growing tumorous cancer and when you zoom into a nice gear set that looked so good in the preview window but you just noticed that the pixels on that leather jacket are so big, it looks like if someone made it on ms paint.

I don't even know why did they even implement this half-ass graphical feature in the first place.

That being said, it's probably on their looooooooooooooooooooower priority regarding the fix for this. Your best course of action would probably be just turning it off.

Mm yeah those hunky highlander makes me drool with the dx11...
Oh we're not talking about that? *goes out*

That's a weird definition. Falling through the floor to infinity is game breaking. Not seeing graphical cue for instant-kill move is game breaking. Being unable to change zone is game breaking. Invisible hotbars are game breaking.

The visual information delivered by a wooden plank is not game breaking. UI elements and mechanical indicators might be. Maybe it ruins your immersion, but that's another story.

I thought I was the only one seeing this tumor effect all over the place. Some surfaces also have this weird "barrier" looking effect to them, as if they've been coated with a gel, it's really odd looking.

There is a time and place for it sure, but it's not the end all be all QoL they need to worry about. Hell personally, I'd much rather them fix the clipping issues with hair going through armor and feet going through floors far more than I would some kind of HD texture resolution pack.

Its just as bad as floors(damaged, dirty floors) and carpets being shiny when they shouldn't be. I hope its fixed some day.

Now days there people out that only seem to care about graphics, it like "oh who cares about making better content, you gotta make these graphics look better"

FF is about graphics and yes some people play for the graphics. There is no reason for people to jump down throats of those that want nice looking things. Its 2016 theres no reason for them to not be.

I'm not really obsessed with graphics so I don't really think that XIV graphics look that bad, now if they looks more like XI's I could see the argument and for the "it 2016" 2.0 XIV is just recycled 1.0 assets which were made in 2010 not in 2016.
