Lackluster Graphics in FFXIV

[Abriael]

World of Warcraft Water

Just because a game has a lot of character models, doesn't mean the graphic technology has to be archaic like FFXIV's is. SE's proprietary engine is so poorly optimized that it makes games run a lot worse than a modern engine like Unreal or Source.

Interesting. Where exactly are the shadows on that extremely simple water model that doesn't even feature realistic ripples?

I find extremely funny that you advocate the game with one of the most antiquated graphics engines in the market (comparable to the early 2000's), and criticize FFXIV.

You blabber about Unreal Engine, but the MMORPGs that use it have a LOT more basic graphics than FFXIV, because they have to keep an extremely low polycount and drastically limit effects in order for it to run decently.

Ah, another entry-level troll to block.

You got it mate.

It's funny how he scrambles to invent another unwarranted and overly negative thread as soon as his flawed points in his previous thread are completely and utterly demolished by simple logic.

Wonder what he'll invent next, since this pretty much happened already here.
