    Same reason why you can't see everyone gathering around in an AH back in XI even if you had a top PC from 10 years after the game released. The 1.0 engine was only capable of drawing a certain number of models at once, and that number was pretty low.
    I understand your point, but i wasn't as low as you are implying.
    BTW i'm not arguing im debating ok?

    IIRC, it was about 40 models at once, including NPCs, while not -extremely- low (the PS3 doesn't show that many with ARR from what I hear, I haven't played it), it was still low by MMO standards, it was quite noticeable going into a city or popular camp compared to ARR, both with high end PCs.

    After all, the engine wasn't made to be used for an MMO, Crystal Tools was made for their single player games (FFXIII and its secuels), that's why they changed the engine, it wasn't some awesome futuristic future-proof engine, it would have ran like shite no matter what hardware you used because it wasn't made for what it was used in 1.0.

    You could have some quantum computer 20 years from now on, the game would still struggle to run it.
