Yup, the graphic was way better but at what price?

Tanaka was tough as nails when designing XIV(primarily for anti-RMT measures) and after heavy-critique and complaining, the system had gone through revisions and modifications but the graphics... damn! Even my PC (less than $1K worth) was having issues staying connected and crashing...

I adapted to alot of changes for the better but there wasn't any graphical tuning, you ether sucked it up of spend more on moding your PC. Then, there was the server instability, my gawds! Crash after crash will trying to learn the system... (sigh)
