Devs don't even run the game at highest graphics specs

[Kerath]

I must have been unclear with my true intent for the post, since no one has mention anything about what I was asking. I was not trying to upset anyone especially Bayonne who is my fav. community manager (I sing the Moogle Mog song all the time too). A few points I want to make are:

1. Not a hater, I love this game and have played since Alpha and can run the game with full specs in 3D and I think it is the most artistically beautiful games on the market even better than game that aren't MMOs which are normally on the lower end of graphic fidelity.

2. Some one posted that now SQEX may never post a dev shot ever again. Please don't let this be the case. I have never been one to use forums but because of the open communication Yoshida has created between the dev team and the players he has created a place for me to come everyday and read players and devs thoughts on a game I love that is ever changing. Because of this open communication and I feel I have some buy in to the direction of the game.

3. I suppose what I really wanted to know is what other changes are being to made to the new graphics engine besides the two points about displaying more characters on screen and allowing lower end PCs run the game smoothly. Which is probably what I should have just posted instead of anything about the screenshot.

1. People are just really used to forum users complaining about everything possible, so I think the tone was just taken as such.

2. It won't stop them, if anything they'll probably just take into consideration people would want a bigger version when possible and crank up the frills for higher reso versions.

3. Optimization and DX11 (if it's Luminous engine or a from scratch one like XI was iirc) Since the CT engine for example is a beautiful engine...just not for MMO play. Yoshida did say he'll post more updates about 2.0 as time goes on, so they may release more screenshots or details about it in due time, it's still a year off.

I think we are all eager to find this out, I hope we get to see something in video form before E3, come on Yoshi-p lshow us some beta footage from 2.0 :P

if we got said footage OP or some1 like OP would only complain that is not in holographic form. or something equally as stupid

Instead of appreciating the quick responsiveness to a request for a larger image, you tried to (very) publicly shame the guy for not making it up to your highest standards? In the spirit of Christmas, that was quite... Dickensian... of you.

You basically came down the chimney in a Santa suit, grabbed Bayhone, who was pleasantly decorated with lights, baubles, silver, and gold with a little shiny star on his head, and shoved him up the chimney with all the presents he was... guarding.

In short, you are the Grinch that stole the Malboro's Christmas.

To be brutally honest your post (and title) seemed to convey that you were dissatisfied with the fact that the devs don't even run the game at high quality then you segued into a question about what they planned on doing with the graphics. You came off pretty rude and nothing in your first post spoke of the tone you are now taking.

If you are truly regretful for what you said, I would just offer that you try to be more careful of how you convey your thoughts.
