Compare graphical fidelity to that of FF13, FF14 1.0, FF15, KH3, Last of Us, Tomb Raider, NieR, Deus Ex, and so many other titles from Square Enix on the PS3.
Sure, obviously, there's the fact that this is an MMO, but let's not kid ourselves. Nothing about the game would be pushing anyone's console. And if you believe that, then you have no idea what you're talking about.
And that's on graphics alone. Coding is, indeed, a bit more complicated. What runs on a PC doesn't run on a PlayStation with the same fluidity. But that's kind of what Square does inherently, soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... Your point?
No one's asking for the biggest HD nosehairs. We're not asking for a PS4 game nor a PS5 game. We're not making Lightning Returns or FF7 Remaster here. We're just adding functions and giving similar-quality stuff to an already lightened game all things considered.
Hell! Your argument doesn't even hold up anymore, and you know why? Because Square Enix themselves said they wanted to update the game's graphics! Not just the lighting, but the grass, and even the races' textures. So really, it is within their purview and capability. To better fit the newest tech. So that the game isn't just a PS3 game anymore. So again, your point?
It's an MMO and they still want to do this. They clearly can. And look at what modders do, it's REALLY not anything major. Just look at my signature for reference, IT'S STUFF ALREADY IN GAME.
