Hi Res Texture Pack

[silverlunarfox]

this generation of gamers are far too spoiled, it's getting out of hand.

Not really. It's been a few years and while the game still looks good compared to other mmo's options are always welcome! What looks fine to you may always look horrendous to someone else.

Nah they want it to look like Uncharted 4. Or at least Witcher 3.

I remember when WoW first came out. It still looked ugly back then. Best thing to say about the graphics were buzzwords like unique and stylish. We understood that an MMO needs to be able to run smooothly on all sorts of systems even when you have dozens of people on screen at the same time.

I wouldn't go that far, but the giant pixels on outfits and some scenery can be a cause of concern for some, especially those that take alot of pictures. Some make that an art form and giant block pixels can ruin it.

WoW still looks ugly and is one of the reasons I won't play it. Not the main one, but the graphics are painful. But they have a good use of color, I'll give them that.

The end sentence is why it should be an option. Let the high end systems go to town with an HD texture pack. Give the big cards something to chew on. Everyone else can run without it. It's not unlike on the PS4 where you can either use HD or not which just gives it some of the options PC had within one option.

Give me a HD pack. I would even pay for it at this rate.

I'm all for this. Warthunder has an optional HD graphics setting in the launcher which you can use to download the best textures the game has to offer. It isn't enabled by default, but it's there if you want to use it, and I think such a system would work well for FFXIV.

I am full heartly supporting this. An optional setting to download HD textures would be absolutly amazing for the game. Please make this happen!

Of course I'm also for this High Resolution Texture Pack. But at least for PC users there already available solutions that make a difference like night and day. You can use something like the NVidia Overlay or Reshade which can (with the right settings) improve the visuals dramatically, of course this stuff needs additional resources and lower your fps a bit, so its helpful to have a Gamer GK. If u use this stuff this games visual can easily hold up against other mmos or outmatch them like you can see on various screenshots and picture on the internet or discord servers.

Running this game in 4k also helps a bit.

I highly agree, textures in this game are way too low for todays standards

To be fair, the game is several years old.

But +1 on HD Rez texture pack. I'd happily pay a premium for it even if it launches free for everyone else in the end

While the game doesn't look bad, it could look so much better. Still hoping for better textures in the future.

God, why resurrect an almost seven year old post? And about DX11? Stop doing this garbage please.

it’s relevant so why not? people harp on others for making new threads instead of using pre-existing, then harp on them for using them. can’t win, can we?

I'd say it is better to continue the original thread instead of making a bunch of new, duplicate ones.

I’m in,

I mean a main character of the story is pixelated

I can’t take exarch seriously
