Hi Res Texture Pack

[Vurtney]

It would not be difficult IF they have the high-res "source" textures lying around. If they don't ... ya, it's not happening. They aren't going to re-texture the whole game.

Load time could be an issue though - but it probably can be solved with a streaming system of some sort.



Err ... I'm quite sure we have normal mapping. We seem to have the standard set of "mappings", diffused, specular, gloss and normal.

Yeah we do, i mean there's actual depth and all the other jazz but i should have been more specific with the quality on the mapping. What i mean't is that the source of the maps isn't as high quality as i expect them to be.

I agree on this... we really need Hi Res Texture Pack + movement animation (stopping+turning right or left~etc) for characters to give it more immersion, please make it happen.

The reason this won't happen is the PS3.

This shouldn't be a issue, FFXI they said the same thing, though lately they exclude ps2 and say you must own a pc if you want better stuff.

This could fall in line with the pc and ps4 if you own a ps3 you don't get the high texture pack.

I remember ps2 limitations speech always was given but its funny how they keep updating FFXI.

Err, they still have all the assets from 1.0 sitting around.

The reason this won't happen is the PS3. It can't use higher resolution textures, and SE won't devote the time and money to give PC/PS4 better textures. They believe DX11 will make the resolution of textures "unnecessary".

PC and PS3 clients are seperate, it matters not which one uses what textures or settings, they both can access the same server, using different clients, it really isn't hard, but has anyone used graphics injector on this game to get it to look as fantastic as original FFXIV used to look? Like SweetFX?

the assets for 1.0 were also designed in a different engine (Crystal Tools), so they'd still have to rework a lot of them (especially cloth textures) to work in the current engine.
What is being asked for is a far greater challenge than people seem to realize and is wholly impractical to dedicate a lot of time for for an MMO. There's a very, VERY good reason they streamlined the game going from 1.0 to 2.0
Even with "low res textures" this is one of the most gorgeous MMOs I've ever seen. I have trouble even playing other MMOs because they just don't measure up graphically.
And people want MORE...
