I do think backward compatibility with aging systems is the tool of the devil. It holds everyone back. This game is a double edged sword because it must maintain compatibility with the PS3. So with that noose around its neck I don't ever expect to see amazing graphics out of it.
Actually it does having amazing graphics to those with an eye to spot the tiny details.

If you start in Limsa, during the opening cut-scene where Leviathan leaps out of the water, look carefully at the droplets of water when the camera does a close-up of your characters face.

Each of those droplets of water is reflecting bits of the scenery, independently.

That's pretty amazing graphics if you ask me :3
