Higher res textures coming?

[Kelg]

I thought I read somewhere that higher res textures were supposed to be coming in the future. Is this true? and can I have a source if it is? I tried using the search and came up with nothing.

Apparently have to wait for the PS4 release of the game before DX11 support becomes available for the PC version.

:C do you have a link to this claim? I would like to know the answer as well.

It's on my thread on the Game Watch interview

I don't think he actually mentioned textures? DX11 does not mean better textures though.

GW: How’s the texture resolution?

Yoshida: We have no plans to change the resolution. I explained this before, but current games are not built on resolutions any more. For photo realistic effect the quality of normal map, for sculpt model it will depend on the amount of time spent, and for the quality seeing how realistic you can get the engravings to show by shining realistic light. These are the kind of things we need to tackle down. There are things which uses really low texture resolutions, but I think, you won’t be able to tell that it was even used. Game structure like the “previous FFXIV” are the only one that required resolution to fight, therefore I don’t think around resolutions.

What about that?

Sad a game from 2010 looks better than one from 2013. I miss the old high poly gear

I was quite confused as to why things looked a bit worse after playing 1.0. Not everything mind you, but some, and others are just crazy with how pixilated they are.

Wow, does Yoshi honestly believe this? I think he needs a serious reality check. You can easily notice the crap textures as they contrast with the higher resolution textures that surround it. Seriously, answers like this are only going to drive people away. I understand that there are people who care less for graphic quality than others, but why is he making excuses not to improve the game? Yoshi is a great producer, and I appreciate how open and personable he is with fans, but there are some things that he just doesn't seem to understand.
