    That's what I mean though, their presence can have some impact on gameplay, but they're superfluous enough that someone could legitimately ask to not have them rendered to help with their performance. How do you reconcile that?

    Again, I'm not against the addition of these things, the amount of people running the game on potatos at 15fps on the lowest settings are... practically non-existent, I'm just saying that it does affect the minimum specs, and Square can only ever really design around that minimum they've decided on. Some scalability is needed of course, and the more options the better, I'm just saying that to take advantage of all the latest bleeding edge tech requires leaving behind people who haven't upgraded in a while, and there's still concerns around workflow when it comes to asset creation if we decide on having both high and low quality assets.


    Anyway, I'll bow out of this debate. It isn't that I believe you guys wrong, you are right in the extra options, I'm in favour of extra options as you guys, my initial response was moreso playing devils advocate in regards to Squares situation in 2013. They wanted a game that was more accessible than 1.0, and in a much tighter schedule, lower quality assets was one of those compromises. We're now in a situation 10 years later where those limitations can be lifted and we can have higher quality assets than the ones from 2010.
