we need a high res texture pack as an optional download

[silverlunarfox]

I just installed a GTX 1080 TI and I'm not impressed with how everything looks lol.

I just bought a new pc in february and have a 1070, and i thought that was bad I cant imagine a 1080ti.

4K textures is an overkill.

Agreed, one thing at a time

They never reply to any thread like this. And if they do they twist it around to talk about FPS and nothing more.

I really hate they talk about FPS when really you don't need more than 60 for this game. Sure I run above it but for better graphics I'd happily drop some FPS.

Yep exactly! Im not one to fuss over FPS so that issue isn't on my mind what so ever. They are trying to appeal to the masses which most only care about FPS. We should at least have the option for better graphic settings. I don't see how having it as an option would be a bad thing?

We are suffering due to the whole 1.0 flower pot issue and I think enough is enough! We as FF fans enjoy FF games partly because of the graphical quality they usually give us, so to keep avoiding it even for an MMO is not right.

Agreed. The game is pretty for an MMO, but it's starting to look dated. An optional texture pack, increased particle effects usage and better use of tesselation would go a long way, and the increased texture resolution might mean that the currently horrible parallax mapping might actually look good.

Especially when FPS isn't the deal breaker in a non-shooter. I would've thought after dropping PS3 we'd start seeing some support for updating the graphics. And I agree with you. enough is enough on that issue. I think of all times, now is the best time to introduce this as an option, stormblood is so beautiful, yet its held hostage by the pixel.

How bout we get good play and good content. And compromise with lower rez graphics

I have a feeling that the amount of labor and QA that will go into providing such an option will end up costing quite a bit. If they ever do offer it, it will probably cost as much as an expansion. Another option is a different package such as Stormblood and Stormblood HD. I would love to see it included in our subs but considering how much it will cost, buying it appears to be the only practical solution if we want it any time soon.

Other MMOs have provided similar revamps with no extra charge...

I support the request for Hi-res dlc. Yes please and thank you.

Que no los dos?

Graphics team isn't necessarily busy when other parts of the development team is during different phases of content creation. It's not like it's only Yoshida working on this entire game, I'm sure they can handle multiple projects at once, especially if a team is underutilized/has some low workload time.

Square Enix is just making as much money as they can from FFXIV without giving it a much bigger budget to work with, otherwise Yoshi-P wouldn't be begging for more people, it would seem like he is the one working the most in the game and that the FFXIV Dev Team is really small considering how long it takes them to bake new content!...

Said otherwise SE might consider it's not worth investing more money in FFXIV and thus we'll never have 4K textures, instead SE creates new games that will make them more cash and just leaves FFXIV to do whatever it can for as long as they need it and that's what scares me because it's exactly when things get cheaper, I don't want to be playing a shabby looking game for five more years just to realize it looks as bad as FFXI looks now, comparatively talking!...

My last hope is that SE has already begun works on the next main numbered Final Fantasy Online and that it will be only then that we get a true 4K experience!...

Producer Yoshida can prove me wrong but I won't be holding my breath!...
