    TressFX & TressFX Hair would benefit the game immensely. Alas, they are AMD features & we all know that SE seem to favour Nvidia when it comes to FFXIV. Nvidia do have HairWorks as part of GameWorks but, unlike AMD's TressFX, it's proprietary software. SE already licence at least part of GameWorks as they've implemented HBAO+.

    Why SE haven't worked more closely with AMD given that their technology is used in the PS4 is beyond me. GPUOpen is great technology & completely free of licencing issues.

    Probably due to contract that was made before SE even considered making a PS4 release. Maybe they didn't expect it will go so well.
    But when i read about new features, and there was HBAO+ i was kind of surprised.
    Quess they starts to think about serious graphical improvments over next expansion.

    Thou indeed Cloth Physics may not be included, until Yoshi will clearly state, that next expansion won't cover PS3.
