Thread: FFXIV 1.0 graphics

It'd be cool if they did what Bethesda did with Skyrim, and let the PC players mod their own graphics in. I can't see it happening, but it'd be interesting.

As a 1.0 player though, wild chocobos couldn't drag me back to the PC version.

Besides, I think you tweaked your configuration wrong. Even on my laptop which has Core2Duo 1.6 mhz with Nvidia G210M, I still could manage getting good graphic.

This is example taken from my laptop:


And here's me saying goodbye to 1.0 forever on Dec 31, 2012 23:57

Well that's good for you but other people exist on this planet and they must be considered too

My major gripe atm is the minecraft shadows. Hopefully dx11 will bring an improvement.

Versus how many can it show now? During Odin or just strolling through Rev toll people pop out of thin air 10ft in front of me on a crowded (every) day...

For that, I have to admit that ARR could show more ppl. Back in the days when you running in Uldah, for couple of steps had some players rendered and some vanished. Even had to make shout region in Uldah separated in region that we now know as Steps of Nald & Thal areas.

ARR
In a single grid, a maximum of 100 characters will be displayed. Since NPCs and monsters have display priority, the monsters themselves do not actually disappear, but once more than 100 players enter a grid, certain characters are no longer displayed. The system was set up to hide objects from other grids, so even if hundreds of characters gather, stress is not placed on your PC.

I'm not gonna even get into 1.0 as it was like less than 50 displayed and not by grid but total. All you had to do was walk into a retainer ward back then to see it.
