Final fantasy 4.0 a realm really reborn :)!

MMOs try to avoid very high graphics requirements cause it shrinks their available market by quite a lot. Its why, even after their model revamps, World of Warcraft kept in game the ability for the game to use all the old character models because some older rigs wouldn't be able to handle the increased graphical requirements of the new models.

That's not to say that FF14 cant continue to tweek and improve its graphics as it goes forward. That's pretty common in MMOs. Infact they had to do a fair bit of work in HW to adjust the graphics engine to handle the terrain load speed that flying caused. Its one of the reasons making flying in older zones would be tougher. They would have to change how the graphics loading works in those zones. With DX11 Im sure there is still quite a bit more they can push the engine.

While Kingddom hearts III has amazing graphics and im super stoked for it.
I would not want to see 14 in these graphics it is FAR TOO cartoony

I would rather see the game be bumped up to something on par with FF15 or even Agni's Philosophy.
but at that point why not just make a 3rd Final Fantasy Online Title. we already have FF11 and FF14.

i think what im trying to say is... 14 is where it is at. and while we may get better texture packs in the FUTURE
dont count on it being anything close to a real upgrade in graphics

even though I would love to see a upgrade in graphics and more weighted characters and all especially with the way the game is going, the player base needs something really good to look forward to. I understand ff14 is where it is at graphically nothing more nothing less. All the more, Watching this video reminds me of how beautiful 1.0 was, even though it was a failure of a game.

If this game looks like Kingdom Hearts, I'll never re-sub again. Just like how I don't care about FFXV and FFVII Remake.

I would not play if this game looked anything like that. It is way too cartoony for my tastes.

Cartoony graphics is why I only made it to lvl 30 in WoW and never went back. idc how good a game is, if it looks like it was made by Disney/Pixar I cannot take anything about it seriously and why I haven't ever touched a KH game.

Although I told my friend I will quit every time I did not like the update, I am still here playing. However, if it actually turn into this, I will definitely quit for real, and my friend who love the change can have my stuffs.

Well SE keeps turning the FF series into a Kingdom Hearts spin-off. Maybe that's why they're losing fans.

WHOOSH!!!
OP was about graphics quality, not art style. I can't believe people lack reading comprehension to this degree.

Looking at the video the graphic quality is modern that is the art style too. People tend to get the art style and graphics mixed up.

I'm going to use the W-word so be prepared.

For those of you what have played World of Warcraft they say the graphics are poor. That's not true the engine runs on 64 bit and uses DirectX 11 features, it's as modern as you can reasonable get in a MMO. When you delve deeper you find they mean the cartoon look, that's has nothing to do with the graphics but the art style they went for. It's very Blizzard. Not being ultra realistic give it a timeless quality.

For FF14 they've went that way too. They have high detail models but dont go for the ultra realistic look. If you look at MMOs that run on Cry Engine they go for that and in 10 years time you look at them and think, ugh so fake. You look at ff14 then and you still like it because it still looks good because it never went for ultra realistic.

I'd be "Nope, not Log Horizon levels yet... I WANT TO LIVE IN THE GAME DARN YOU!"

"Living in a Database... WHOA OH!"
