I don't think wanting a graphical update for areas that are outdated is a bad thing, but wanting everyone who plays to have no content for a year+, and a good chunk of the player base that plays on console to suck it to get those shiny new graphics is pretty bad, especially considering ShB is right around the corner.

Yeah, if SE decided that a graphical update was more important then a years worth of content, I would probably be gone. The content is why I am here, and what keeps my playing.

Yeah, basically. An entire overhaul? Nope, but yes, a few graphic updates here and there along with major patches, fixing the most-ugly-af-stuff would be very welcome, indeed.

It's not just the consoles but the pcs equivalent to ps4 and lower that will get shafted.

To be fair, a PC can be upgraded. A PS4 can only be replaced.

That's true, but how much for the pieces that need to be upgrade in able to play the upgraded version of the graphic though. CPU, GPU, RAM, PSU?

I really don't think the game needs a graphical overhaul. On my PS4 Pro / 65'' 4k TV the game looks absolutely stunning. The landscapes are beautiful and for a game almost two decades old it's beautiful. Spell effects are amazing too. The only thing where I'd agree on a graphical overhaul are character / NPC models. Besides that? Not needed. Game looks and runs fantastic.

Honestly? All I want is an opt-in HD texture pack ala LoTRO. If modding weren't a big no-no I'd be tempted to make one myself because the ARR zones of this game are especially hideous with their low res textures and meshes and I cringe every time I port to Ul'dah or Limsa.

For the main part some better textures and some fix about physics/clipping (too rigid clothes or clothes that disappear) would be welcome. But the game is far from awful.

Your selfish idea would cost SE a lot of money every month because they would loose thousands of subs. You don't really think they will do that just to please you and some others do you?

Before someone starts with "but we have a million players, bruh" no the game has not one million players because SE does also count inactive accounts, bots and probably even banned accounts. I think SE can be happy if they have half or a third of a million players at all.

I doubt it. We just dropped 32bit and there are computers with lowers settings than the original ps4.
