Consider FFXIV on XBox

[Izar_Chillen]

No one here is saying that PC players can't upgrade. Sure they could. Though, if they have an outdated PC, they'll have to buy more than just a brand new processor. Got to make sure all your parts are compatible. But just because they ~could~ upgrade, doesn't mean all of them are. The fact of the matter is people with lower end PCs are the ones holding up the game from being upgraded to need higher system requirements. That is a irrefutable fact that the Dev team has stated.

Can you provide a source because I'd be interested to read it .


There are already PC only Armour and NPC/player Texture upgrades and rescaled/sculpted mods that vastly improve the games visuals beyond the current defaults and those mods can run on old hardware with ease


Ive never know a large MMO developer to hold back upgrading core components of their engine and gfx pipelines because some people refuse to buy modern laptops/Desktops

Any time there was a major shift in the directX used and or more modern cpu instruction sets implemented or nvidia/amd apis added in , or a vast increase in storage and storage type, the developers gave plenty of warnings before hand that old hardware past a certain capability would no longer be supported , list the requirements in supports links or press articles and such

Its a old interview but I think this is it.

That is a par for the course developer response

WoW had to slowly add in new tech as to not alienate old laptop users .


More recently they had press releases about hoping their users adopt SSD due to the size of the game install getting way larger and map details getting more intense


What Yoshi has said certainly isnt " an irrefutable fact " "people with lower end PCs are the ones holding up the game from being upgraded" as spouted by the person i responded to


Also: thanks for the link
