Devs don't even run the game at highest graphics specs

This pretty much confirms one of the longest-standing theories of these forums. People will bitch about anything.

And the offices will be closed from December 26th to January 2nd. *looks at calendar* It's the 23rd.

On the note of the new graphics engine can the dev team elaborate what they are changing other than displaying more characters and better scaling of visual fidelity for low end computers.

I think that's the proof "haters gonna hate". They'll find anything and everything to complain about. Unfortunately, the community reps still have to read and bring their words to the offices. I have the luxury to simply not read these threads (as to not feed the trolls), but I am very tempted every time to reply and flag such threads with a big "shenanigans" in order to add my voice to tell the devs NOT to listen to them. Gladly, most of the times, I can just skip the thread and move on because brave troll hunters have posted a reply already.

Do not be saddened by trolls, they are not worth it.

Is your banhammer ready for the OP bayohne? Upsetting you must be a bannable offence on the forums :)

But seriously if you could make the pic with all the bells and whistles it would be an awesome wallpaper :)

Thanks for making it very unlikely for the reps to ever give us a "sneak preview" again

Good lord, OP is the perfect example that people just find things to complain about -.-

complaining about a blown up teaser screen shot of all things.......

Shows they need to spend more time irl, more time in the game or move on imo, these should go after payment because it doesnt look like the OP will play after payments starts, becaus he must have that many gripes with the game to complain at this.

In fairness to Square, no computer exists yet that can run FF14 at the highest settings. :P
