Then what is honestly? There's nothing stopping them releasing the HD textures for PC exclusively. Could it be that they want to keep PS4 and PC visually similar? If so, then consoles are holding FFXIV back a teeny bit, but they more than make up for it with the extra subs they bring in for future content...

I do want an answer from Yoshida, or someone on the team about HD textures. Surely they didn't just up and delete all the assets after releasing the content?
