FFXIV =/= FFXI

They have an extremely bad coded engine on top of old/bad servers. We lag right now even with the best CPU and internet connection when there are hardly a handfull of people around. Most PC burns up and overheat because it's badly optimized. If the avatars are as well detailed and textured as the rest of the world, I can only imagine the stress that will put on our PCs.

I might be wrong though, as I am no computer genius. Good for us if they can do it and still have the avatars look epic and not like little pets. Maybe you think that people would not mind that if their avatars are the size of a Huyr, but I am sure many people would not like that even though you are trying to call me down and say that I am the only one having an issue with that.

Yes FFXI did it good so maybe they can make it happen but like I said, they have really poor optimization in this game and this might end up being harder to implement than you think.

Edit: plus you don't have to try and bring my arguments down, like I said I may be wrong about the points that I am trying to bring and like I said, I would like to have summons out all the time if I could, I'm just trying to be realistic.
