It is 2017 but the realism in this game is still subpar

If the OP wants that our chars got the urge to need to eat then we should do it consequent and walk this way to the end.
When our char has to eat there is also a chance to get sick or get bad food..ours chars might suffer by debuffs just like "Diarrhea".

And now imagine that in a dungeon..Tank stops right before the boss because he,his char in this case,has to poop..or even better he poops hisself during combat.Or he have to poop in the dungeon..damn oO

A little bit too much of realism eh?

I would dislike a photorealistic FF. Even FFXV with that graphics still look anime. I don't think this game will be good with kind of graphics. I like how is now.

Agreed. I don't wanna know how ffxiv would look like with higher quality. It'll probably change the look of characters extremely. Good or bad, I'm fine with how it is now.

Only think I'd be fine with having better graphics is when I zoom up on rocks or grass during gpose pictures. The textures look watery or just flat n pixels.

'Photorealism' is hugely demanding on the system which would exclude many players (not everyone wants or can get a top-end 'rig' that can handle such graphics meaningfully) and most 'AAA' games that could be called that aren't multi-platform.

1. 'Sweat' - what a total waste of dev. time.
2. This isn't WOW, XIV doesn't have to do what WOW does.
3. 'Immersion' is such an over-used word it now has littlle value .. size isn't everything. :p
4. In games where this was a thing ('was' because I know of no modern MMO or off-line RPG) it was a huge annoyance for most people I seem to recall.
5. Tax - we have it, it's called the AH tax, we don't need any more.

Photorealism is extremely boring. Give me the stylized and the surreal! Give me the strange and the artistic!

1: A Judiciary system in which it is possible to be sued by the monsters you've beaten up. (All rise, the case of Edda v.s. Warrior of Light is now in session!)

2: Life Expectancy: You'd better have kids with someone, so you can take over playing as them when your current character gets old and has a heart attack.

A judiciary system would be neat. The game should allow players to sue each other for defamation and identity theft (since there is only one WoL but everyone pretends to be one).
