Shopping in manchester yesterday I saw FF14 for a whopping 5 pounds. I was shocked when I read the recommended system requirements. My system is in between the required and recommended so i thought maybe i could run it on the lowest settings an still enjoy the game.

I recently played with rift, and i think rift have beautifully crafted graphics. if i turn the settings low, like the background view distance, the background turns misty. this doesnt really imo affect the standard of the graphics too much. but when I have the lowest settings on ff14, the game looks like im playing doom. and still its unplayable.
