graphic update?

[SigmaOZ]

Anyone defending this game's graphics is partially or completely blind, the game is 10+ year old rubbish, it was designed for PlayStation 3 at best, we are on PlayStation 5 time and we definitely need better graphics.


I don't know if most players like square or triangular limbs and butts, just look at the characters with their low-polygon count, they look really bad, only the face looks good, everything else is PS2/3 quality.


Unless many players complain about the graphics Square Enix will not move a finger to upgrade the game's "visual quality".


Upscaling textures is a poor method, we have seen over and over in older games, they look just slightly better but not enough to deserve praising.


We can definitely have FF7R quality models and graphics, they can find solutions to keep a good framerate without sacrificing visual quality but in their money making greed they won't bother as long as they continue to sell as much as they want.

At the very least an OPTIONAL HD texture pack is way overdue.

Thank you for actually being knowledgeable about 1.0 unlike 99% of individuals who shit on it without understanding why it failed but instead only parrot bull crap they read on the internet.

yeah, was great graphically, too good for most things to even reasonably run it I think at the time. which added to everything else... did not help much. perfect example of "you can make a beautiful game, but if you cant play it, the beauty is meaningless"

If they ever do an upgrade, I hope it isn't until they end support for PS4 and the myriad of toasters people play this game on so that they aren't as hampered by low specifications. Which is to say, in several years at minimum, and well beyond when the chip shortage is finally over.

I cannot agree more!

I know for a fact this game would get even more players.

This is far from true. WoW demanded better PC every expansion because they keep upgrading the graphics, a lot of people complained because they were not able to run raids, battlegrounds or even increase the view distance.

This, while mostly true, is a little deceptive in delivery. Did WoW raise system requirements when expansions came out? Yes, yes they did, but not in any sort of significant way, or in a way that would affect performance meaningfully. From 2010 until 2020 I played on the same pre-built PC, and I upgraded the graphics card once, and that was in 2014. Even before the GPU upgrade, I got relatively equivalent performance in every WoW expansion in that time frame. So this idea that WoW demanded a better PC every expansion, while strickly speaking true, is not an accurate depiction.

They said that a graphic update if any would happen after 7.0 at the earliest if they were planning to do one which we don't know if they are or not.

I guess its because unlike OP i played 1.0 and it was really bad. Performance, network code, UI, JP only servers, no content i can go on and on. But performance was really bad and i am glad they are prioritizing gameplay over pretty graphics. That being said there are ways to improve graphics without ruining performance such as better lighting and high res textures, because unlike poly count ppl with potato PCs can turn them down.

It was NOT designed for the PS3. Yoshi and the team worked hard to make it PS3 compatible because SE made a promise they would support it. It worked, but it was horrible. The lag between PS3 and PC was insane. The best thing they did was stop supporting the PS3.

The Kadomatsu from hell. approaching this thing would overheat my PC.
