might as well just announce that it will never be implemented?

Not likely any time soon or at all, we might as well just stop asking at this point.

Old PC limitations, please understand.

Never heard of it. What is it? Are you asking for a mode that has no textures?

Have you been living under a rock for the last 18 months? We've had content cut and an entire expansion delayed even with the developers working an unhealthy amount of extra hours to get it out. A graphics upgrade is a major undertaking. Not to mention the fact that it's been next to impossible for most people to get hold of a new graphics card for less than triple the normal price and anyone who would need to upgrade if the game updated is still going to struggle finding stock for at least the next 6 months, probably longer.
I'd like visual improvements too. But you'd have to be completely tone deaf or an actual child to think that this is an appropriate time to whine about not getting it. -

You say that like it's somehow a surprise, or that we ever would have had any reason to think it would happen.

The PS5 beta (yes, I consider what it has now still in beta) will supposedly upgrade various things over time, but we will have to wait and see.

07-13-2021, 05:10 AMTheMightyMolluskConsidering what a pain it is to actually get a PS5 right now, one can understand why it's not a huge priority.Quote:

Shoichi Matsuzawa: We are thinking of eventually upgrading in-game textures in phases and are starting initial preparations for that update.
However, we do need to keep in mind that other platforms, including the PlayStation 4 version, are still in service. Since FFXIV is an MMO, we need to place some emphasis on being able to simultaneously render player characters and their equipment, while still ensuring everything works smoothly. We do need to take care when planning major updates like this and start with testing and verifying it all works well.
Plus, assets that we created nearly ten years ago didn’t factor in the possibility of being displayed at the high resolutions available to us today, so we have to think about how to revise quite a massive amount of assets efficiently.

07-13-2021, 06:07 AMVahlnirOh yeah, that's definitely an issue, and better textures are definitely not something I think they need to focus on asap. There are many other things I'd prefer that they work on first. I just think it'd be nice eventually. For the most part I think the game's textures look decent enough.Quote:

Sorry male bunny was far better use of resources then upgrading textures across the board.
As much as it pains me I am serious texture upgrades is probably so far down the list maybe only egi glamor is higher. -

Still a step above butt sliders, though.
