Would you still play FFXIV in a post-development "maintenance mode?"

I'll be honest, I'm definitely one of those "glamour is the true end game" player. The art style of FF14 just hit all the right notes for me. As long as the next FF MMO has similar art direction, I would be willing to give a try and even try really hard to like it. Heck, doesn't even have to be a FF tittle.

WoW is just way to date at this point, and the cartoonic graphic is honestly one of the main barrier for me to go back to it. While there are many more modern MMO with better graphic than FF14, the majority of them are over-sexualized that focus on smoking hot art, which I dislike. I also don't like the hyper-realistic yet with everyone look like super model like FF15 and FF7 remade either.

FF14's graphic have that classic anime charm, innocent cuteness while still somewhat realistic. Again, hit all right notes.

hope the graphical update brings in some much needed boost in color for the default game but yeah I do like its style. Although Im more of a fan of the heavily cartoony stylized look that WoW has. I sorta wish the next FF game would lean more into something more stylized that the usual realistic look but my biggest appeal in this game is the glam game. Ive worked hard to give each job its unique yet visually appropriate look that fits into its class identity.

If you mean having a more vibrant color (because the default is a bit washed out) you can already do it. And no, I don't meaning using a mod for it. If you have an Nvidia card you can use the Gforce Experience to apply several additional filters. Nvidia doesn't give you all the filter available because they remove several one that SE said could be constituted as cheating, so what you get are pretty much approved by SE as fair use.

Oh and you get pretty much no performance hit either, which is always nice.
