Oh.

Last time I played FFXI the guy in charge of the LS I joined kept adamantly telling me that the xbox360 version was graphically superior to the PC version. I laughed at him and told him he was talking bull and that PC would always stand above consoles regardless but he seemed quite blind to that.

Still I would have expected the 360 version to at least look better than the PS2 version surely?

Also from what I remember SE's plan when they made FFXIV look like this was so that at the moment it's quite demanding for a computer, where as a few years down the line it won't be totally "WOW AMAZIN!" like it is now but it'll still look good. Best way to make a games graphics age well is to make it look awesome to begin with, then it takes longer to look dated
