Optimizing - To Rearrange or rewrite (data) to improve efficiency of retrieval or processing.

That is what their goal was and exactly what they are doing, this is what happens when people read what they want and not what is writen.

Anyway as has been stated before, SE usually takes SS on the janitor's PC instead of one with everything maxed out, I will find the quote and edit it in later.

Edit: Eh got lazy, screw digging through months of old posts to please the unpleaseable.

Where is optimising defined as "make worse" though? Reducing graphical quality isn't really optimising. That's just compromising. Optimising would be keeping current graphical detail and making them display more efficiently. But whatevs.

Sometimes in life.. you can't have both.. its either 1 or the other.. or a Balance.. or it will ( in the computer world) Bottleneck :P.

If reducing the graphical quality makes the game perform better for EVERYONE instead of only those with tons of money to dump on upgrading their system then it does fall under the category of Optimizing. No where in that definition did it say "To make things look more pretty" its pretty much to sacrifice something in order to enhance performance and making them run more efficient.

The current graphics and such is run on an entirely different engine then 2.0, we are playing on a FFXIII engine as of now (atleast this is what I heard) while 2.0 is being run on one that is actually better suited for a MMO and tailored to work with XIV for better performance. a few blades of grass and weird ground textures should be the least of your concern unless you run the game on minimum which I really can't help you there.

Many times before and many times to come people have complained about crappy textures in Screenshots presented and then people who read it jump on the complain train with them only to realize once you see it in game on YOUR personal settings the crowd dies off until they find something else to complain about. You are not the first and will not be the last. I suggest you hold all your judgement until you see for yourself.

Title says Chocobo Ranch--I hope that means we'll get Chocobo Racing too at some point if we're aloud to breed multiple Chocobos~ <:

I'm not looking forward to this though;

you can, click on their view profile and press "add to ignore list" then it'll hide whatever they post so you don't have to punish your eyes with text you'd rather not read lol.

Yea, I apologize for even trying to debate them. Graphics aren't even important now those screenshots have injected me with the most intense hype serum ever made by mankind!

PS: I will one day rival you Subligar Empire with one of my own. I was known as Lord of Subligaira in XI by owning EVERY Subligar available in-game even up to date. I resub to collect new additions. I do not intend to be dethroned sir. :P
