Anything is possible, but as it stands I don't see SE doing this.

I recall in beta Yoshi mentioned that they won't include high resolution textures till Directx 11 client.

Later there is an interview where he says he won't include high resolution textures with Directx 11 client, rather will focus on lighting instead.

GW: How’s the texture resolution?
Yoshida: We have no plans to change the resolution. I explained this before, but current games are not built on resolutions any more. For photo realistic effect the quality of normal map, for sculpt model it will depend on the amount of time spent, and for the quality seeing how realistic you can get the engravings to show by shining realistic light. These are the kind of things we need to tackle down. There are things which uses really low texture resolutions, but I think, you won’t be able to tell that it was even used. Game structure like the “previous FFXIV” are the only one that required resolution to fight, therefore I don’t think around resolutions.
