FFXIV 2.0 Graphics Engine Requests

**Laraul** · 12-25-2011 02:13 AM

Oh for GODs sakes people you have no idea what you are talking about. The game runs the same Engine as FFXIII, and FFXIII uses AO, DOF, etc. AO works in FFXIV... just lower the General Display Quality to six or so for a constant frame rate.

D3D11 support would provide a possible boost to performance, since it has native support for multi-processor rendering as well as performing multiple operations before invoking kernel mode.

Problem is D3D is a Microsoft API... not available for the PS3. Of course the above stated issues aren't a problem on the PS3.

Not exactly sure that's something you can make requests for.

I'm pretty certain the replacement for the copy paste friendly Crystal Tools engine has already been constructed and now they're just working on the content and switching the engines.

Let's just hope Luminous does the job well.

I'm a bit disheartened when they said that DX11 woud not be available from the get-go in 2.0 hopefully they get on top of it as quickly as possible though.

at least we'll be getting dx11 so I wont complain.

They already said it's not Luminous but being built from the ground up (with people who also work on Luminous) and reusing good parts from other engines.

You people are just setting yourself up for disappointing. The current engine needs some tweaking for the PC perhaps. But the engine for the most part is fine. Also, remember that SE is a first and for most a console developer. That is their primary platforms of expertise. Expect any engine to target that platform first.

When FFXIV was first unveiled and people saw the the Crystal Tools engine running on a PC, they expected it to be built for the PC. It was not. In any case by the time 2.0 comes out PC graphic hardware will be better suited to handle the game. This is what happened with FFXI.

I really think SE should focus on what it knows best.

Current engine is fine for 5 years ago. It's crap by current engine standards.

Oh good! Glad to hear it's going to be tailor made to the game.
You wouldn't happen to have a link to the info would you?

NEVER SAY THAT.
It gives them an excuse.

What? The Crystal Tools engine? It's two years old!

How about we wait and see what happens...
