Graphics Update In The Future?

[Waliel]

We got a big texture downgrade back in the day to make it all fit in the very limited PS3 memory and for whatever reason they decided not to keep the higher resolution ones as an option for PC players. Probably because PS3 and PC versions had to look more or less the same. At this point I wouldn't even be surprised anymore if higher resolution textures didn't exist anywhere and they'd have to make them all from "scratch". Squenix also has a very strict - maybe even too strict - memory budget on everything most likely stemming from the PS3 days. All things considered I'd be happy with just a gear and character retextures if we were to get any.

Why do people keep asking for this? Do they not realize that the game already looks pretty good and is extremely well-optimized for an MMO? Due the nature of how they work, an MMO will never have the same level of graphics as a single player game can have. I play this game on my 4K TV at 60FPS and it looks better than an MMO has any business looking. Yeah, some of the older textures and areas don't look as good as newer ones, but that's the nature of ANY MMO. The only thing I could possibly ask for is updated character models - everything else looks great.

Maybe this was the case 6-7 years ago when this game first launched but times have changed. There are Korean cash grabs that completely eclipse FFXIV in this area.

If your on PC and have a high spec computer, you can use Reshade to immediately make your game look a hundred times better at the cost of FPS.

it's a crybaby post. the OP's prolly hoping to be able to brag about how powerfull his computer his. and not care about other players running this game with less budget than he is.

False.

You reek of negativity.

Hopefully? I have a RTX 3080 and I only play this game and I'm already maxed out on fps. Since they're dumping resources into ff16 which I'm not very happy about they might as well use ff16 textures in ff14 later on when they're done. They can just use two different texture packs one for ps4 players one for RTX 3080/3090 players so people with consoles won't hold us back.
