what a lot of people don't know is even XI's engine could handle such large textures. The reason it doesn't have them all over the place is purely because of memory limitations. Yes the PC has plenty (and they should have offered an upgraded texture pack on the PC) but on the PS2 they had to conserve memory wherever possible.

As I recall the official reason we don't have higher res textures is because we are already using the maximum size textures that directx 9 supports. Directx 11 was to allow us access to higher resolution textures.

PS4 limitations coming soon.

Doubtful. The ps4 has 4 gigs of memory available to the game. Memory was the limiter in FFXI and FFXIV both. The primary limitation is pretty much gone.
