Texture Pack

[Quesse]

Seriously! I totally support this, because a game is only fun if it has good texturing!

Maybe you should start a separate petition for a texture downgrade pack??

Eventually I would love to see a HQ texture pack for the game but chances are we might need to turn to the community for that eventually.

If the game gets popular enough I'm sure the .dat moders will be in full force as they were in XI...hell I did a few .dats back in my day.

Know what i'd love to see for XIV? An ENB mod for it.

People like you make asking for possible texture upgrades in the future a bad image. Graphics aren't what makes the game fun, it just adds another level of immersion for others who care.

I'm aware graphics don't make the game fun. Neither do textures.

If all it takes for you to get immersed into a game is an updated floor texture, then I envy you. Usually it takes more than an image file for me.

Ignorant statement.

Where did I ever say that I required it for immersion.

The ignorance and stupidity from the occasional person in these forums is ridiculous sometimes.
Lol. It should be expected I suppose coming back to the forums after so long

That would be good if it came down to it, maybe I could give it a shot one day if it came down to it.

These threads always turn out the same way.

OP: "Hey, what about the option to download higher-res textures down the road?"
Replies: "ARE YOU SAYING YOU CAN'T ENJOY THE GAME AS-IS WITHOUT BETTER TEXTURES ARRRGGGHHH YOU HATE THE GAME GO AWAY"
OP: "Uhh...no, but all else being equal, having the option for better graphics if your computer can handle it is a nice bonus."
Replies: "WHARRGARBL GO AWAY GRAPHICS DON'T MAKE THE GAME FUN"

Even though I think it's unlikely to ever happen, it'd be cool to see this kind of thing happen a few years down the road when the game starts to look dated.

Lol! I should've known better.
I was thinking that since it is possible we may be getting dx11 in the future, maybe the textures could happen as well.

May want to back up the old pre 2.0 dat files just in case.

This game has the most fragmented file system I have seen in a PC game, besides FF11, I doubt the existing files will work in the new engine.

Maybe we will get HD textures with the first expansion, can only hope.

Youre assuming the textures will be a lower resolution than they are now. If they are using the same texture files that we have now, it wouldnt make sense for them to just delete them all, and then have us download lower quality textures.

More likely the game will be using less intensive lighting effects, rather than lowering texture resolutions. There isnt a doubt in my mind that the PS3 version will be using lower resolution textures (on at least things that arent characters), but there is absolutely no reason to scrap the countless textures we are already using, and then have us redownload lower quality ones all over again (costing them bandwith/money), just because the PS3 doesnt have enough memory, or a good enough GPU to use those textures.
