No Hardware Anti-Aliasing under DirectX 11?

[Nekodar]

As far as I can recall, it's been said that more graphical enhancements will come post-HW launch.

If that means more AA options or something else remains to be seen, but I'm guessing it's not high up on the priority list.

Even if it's "trivial" to add, it's still dev resources that needs to be allocated.

Ermagwd, Dem grfix r krap!

I have to agree with a lot of what is said here. I love this game so much but the anti-aliasing is non existent, and it really detracts from gameplay when things in front of you move and squiggle by themselves. Also there was never any mention of hardware AA since the launch of ARR that is why this thread exists. Try and be civilized about this, yes the anti aliasing is probably the worst I've ever seen in a video game. But being anything other than civilized isn't going to help out the situation.

Where is the thread about the grass? Someone should bring that up again lol.

lol about the grass...that was one of the many things I shut off to get a Standard score on the laptop I use (see Benchmark Scores thread).

I don't know why but this thread makes me so happy for my putt-putt car of a laptop (in the case of the expansion).

Pictures of scores in this post (pictured scores are with chrome running in the background, text scores are without a single thing running):

Though I'm wondering if I should take that score with a grain of salt because it might be different when I play...than viewing a premade character work it's way through a benchmark program.

The good thing about pc though is you always have the option to turn stuff off ^~^

And if OP could add some better images for comparison in XIV it would help a lot. Some things actually squiggle and move in this game due to FXAA, could you possibly try and capture some of those for reference?

I really is disappointing to see that Even with a DX11 client the dev team didn't bother with doing anything about aliasing issues in the game. All the wonderful work of the graphic artists seem somewhat wasted.

110% agree

You're thinking that it's that they didn't bother.

Since they originally planned HW for may, and had to push it to june, and are still struggling to actually meet the june release date, I'm thinking it's that they didn't have time to do it properly.
I can't remember where I read it, but afaik it's been said that there come more graphical options after HW launches, with nothing specific about what and in what timeframe.

The benchmark should also only be taken as including the minimum of what we can expect from the options in the actual HW client.
