Thank you OP! I really needed a laugh after a stressful day from work. :)

I don't want to believe there is a underground association of bald male roes, that collectively find useless stuff to complain about.

But who knows for sure.. There could be one and its just really well hidden.

I'm all for native 4K res.
We are halfway into 2019, 8Gb Vram cards are pretty mainstream.

And for those doomsayers about console not powerfull enough. PS4 has 8Gb of GDDR5 (shared system ram & vram, I believe 5Gb was reserved for Vram alone).
During last weeks E3 Microsoft announced that project Scarlet (the new Xbox to be released in 2020) "will support up to 4K and 120FPS". The reason I say this is because Sony hasn't announced such claims yet, however both PS5 & Project Scarlet will roughly have the same performance.

Anyway with the claims Microsoft provided for next gen consoles, they are more then powerful enough to run 4K textures on this game at higher framerates.

I dunno. Wouldnt be the weirdest thing on FFXIV, could just be a clever ruse, or perhaps maybe it is a secret society of Roes, who identify other members with a bald head.

For a community that praises the small things about FFXIV I'm surprised people see ps1 textures and all of a sudden the small things that they like about FFXIV don't matter anymore. It's precisely because of how glaringly bad that looks, and how easy it is to fix, that it should be removed as soon as they can.

Oh no, what a game breaking thing.

You think that's horrible? Take a look at this!

I'm sure they have more important things to work on like "literally anything else" to be worried about something so miniscule as one out of the way texture.

8GB VRAM is NOT mainstream.
I work as technician, selling parts and upgrading computers, and not everyone has a 500$+ CAD budget to put into a graphic card.
Almost 75% of the GPU and/or computers we sell for gamers either has something similar to a GTX1050/1060 which have 2, 3, 4 or 6GB depending on the model you choose.
Maybe YOUR reality is that everyone has 1200-2500$ to put into a gaming PC, while according to Steam stats, a GTX1070/RTX2070 (8GB) is mostly under 10% of the user base.

That being said, an optional high-res pack? Sure, i'd even pay to have it!
BUT we should not force people who have average computers (or use their laptop on the road to do dailies and casual content) suddenly be unable to play their favorite game.
