Did squenix make a mistake by investing too much in graphics and not enough in

[Louisville15]

Off the top of my head I can list quite a few games that require very hefty systems to run adequately....

Metro 2033, Witcher 2, Crysis 2, Shogun 2... Metro 2033 is even worse than FFXIV... Running it on 2560x1600 with Max AA, tessellation, max textures, shadows... have fun with that.
Try needing multiple cards to run it max

I get much better frames in Metro maxed than I do in FFXIV not maxed, and the former looks much better.
