Ray tracing in Final Fantasy XIV

[Amnmaat]

Raytracing is the 3D glasses fad of 2008. I stlll remember Sony boasting about 3D technology in their games back then

Raytracing has a decade or longer to go before the hardware is there, much less the adaptation within in game development. A decade later we're better off with a new FF mmorpg using Raytracing.

I disagree. Raytracing makes a HUGE difference. Like I thought it was going to be a fad to, but after experiencing it? Its a big jump

There's a big difference between how great of an experience Raytracing is and the physical hardware for it being there, as well as the adaptation by game developers. Games are taking 2-4 years to make now; is Raytracing going to add to that or make it easier?

Ask any game dev, they would probably prefer hardware that makes making games easier as opposed to water puddles reflecting realistic light.
