FFXIV: Do you think Square Enix will put more money and resources into it?

I hope they hire an extra team to revamp the horrendous character creator. These PS2 models are embarrassing.

I think the moral of the story is people should stop playing with dog turds . . . :3

Also obsessions are not good lol. Obviously FFXIV 1.0 had some issues where the team made weird decisions on graphics, creating huge problems that they couldn't optimize for (sometimes you can make a super good looking game that runs on many machines, this clearly didn't happen. . . ). Yet to suggest it's impossible that an MMO can't utilize technology to greater effect wouldn't be quite accurate anymore either (not saying you said that).

I think what they were aiming for, Awha can correct me if wrong, was calling out the idea that "graphics don't matter". They do, otherwise you'd not have Loooaaadds (loddss) of money spent on it, and also calling out the idea by clarifying presentation is part of graphics. Because I think sometimes people think texture size or poly count only when they say the word graphics, but graphics includes just the general presentation. Which means a game like Hades or Dead Cells, neither of them 4 billon poly 8k texture games, have 'good graphics'. This obviously gives a certain timeless edge to some stylized games. It also adds a different challenge to more realistic games, but it is a challenge we see semi-regularly met- which means lowering expectations is difficult.

Of course good old games are still worth playing, imo, but it's easier, for me, to think "eh whatever this is fun" when it's not being actively carried in the present time. Like watching an old VHS movie, vs if some studio released a current day movie in that quality. Pick some legendary movie and then imagine it was released in worse quality, let's say Lord of the Rings in VHS quality, out on cassette near you! lol. I do think there is more priority on good gameplay over good graphics, just that I don't see why I wouldn't always want both .

Dragon ball gt final bout on ps1. Graphics were up there with Tekken and Virtual fighter. Game play on the other hand....controller breaking level.

i wish they could add more 10 faces for each race, and double the hairstyle!

I don't mind the number of hairstyles, just make them not look like over-saturated pixel goo, that would be nice. Then get rid of the weird shaders and plastic looking faces and weird overlays that completely mess up colors. THEN add more face options so we could have non-"cute" and non-goofy looking females other than Ro and Highlander. Almost all female chars in the game look like they are 14.

Only separating all head features from face selection would go leagues. Like having all beards of all faces, all horns for all faces, whatever combination of already existing features.
