Higher graphic options

well that was how many years ago? Five? PC specs change a lot.

Yes, current mid range PC would most likely be able to handle the Crystal Tools Engine FFXIV 1.XX, but between it's launch and it's end in 2012 most PCs could barely run it at decent settings. Crystal Tools wasn't built with an MMO in mind, and the developers went all out on the visuals (flower pot with as many polygons as a player character model). I think even some 2015 mid range spec PCs would struggle to run 1.XX.

This was one of the things that kept me from playing 1.0, I could barely push 8FPS at near lowest settings at native resolution (1360x768. At 720p it ran the same. Tried at the absolute lowest settings and resolution even though looked like utter garbage, still couldn't push more than 11).
