Did you not notice that this game has a rather extensive configuration program, backed up but another configuration menu in game (which is something I personally don't like, by the way, as a single configuration menu is a much better option)?

The engine is not really less scalable than most, and offers a pretty standard range of options. Quite enough for me to manage to run the game perfectly on my gaming computer, and still play it on my extremely antiquated number 2, with most options off or minimized.

This without mentioning that most MMORPGs launch with a limited range of options (often more limited than FFXIV), and add more down the line.
