Consoles are holding this game back (graphically)

We went from this:



To this:



Just can't please them all

And from your second image, to this:



Yes, games do in fact improve their visuals as technology advances. It's not much to ask for decent textures, though.

NO, MY POOR 860M

The 860M can run W3 pretty quite nicely, it's just that FFXIV is a rather unoptimized mess. Unless you were referring to nicer textures, in which case you could turn them down.

OH! I didn't know that! This little thing can hold her ground well enough I think... It will not be much longer (maybe some months) until I get my 980M 8GB SLi notebook tough, and I really hope I don't need to change it for the next 5 years.

Sure. Maybe its just these old eyes, but the game looks pretty darn good to me, I play on a PS4. If anything was more defined, doubt I would even notice unless I press my nose to the TV screen.

Yes! Of course a little bigger texture on hairs and cloths are welcome, but right now we need AA. The aliasing is SO bad in places like Uldah and Shroud that it's unberable to look at ground and stairs from some angles.

Decent anti aliasing is much more more demanding on systems than higher resolution textures would be, unless you didn't have enough VRAM.

Guess that's where my fault was, didn't pay enough attention to the steps.

Pfft. I already have plans to install 4.0 using 195 floppies

I think you'll need a little more than that.
