Eyesore

I'm not really obsessed with graphics so I don't really think that XIV graphics look that bad, now if they looks more like XI's I could see the argument and for the "it 2016" 2.0 XIV is just recycled 1.0 assets which were made in 2010 not in 2016.

They left out 1.0s graphics, textures, animations, weight(iness). When they added the Dx11 features it seems they just added it to everything and anything without taking the time to see what should have it and what shouldn't. Other than that the games design is amazing and I love it.

The parallax stuff is really awful, I had to turn it off. There's another fun issue with it that it only affects things at a certain angle and radius from you, so as you're walking around it looks like the ground around you is melting and morphing. Whatever effect they were trying to go for with that graphical feature, they failed horribly. I don't know how it passed QA.

I also agree with the texture issue. There's really no excuse in this day for the textures to look so bad. They have much higher resolution textures as the master copy they downsample from, so why can't they provide much higher quality textures for people who have the computers to run them? Any medium powered computer can handle much higher textures than the ones they currently have. The easy excuse is to just say "but the PS3", though that's not really an excuse because there's no reason they couldn't make it a graphics option like almost any other game ever.

I don't know what we're supposed to be looking at that's so problematic. Please consider that not everyone will simply see the same "issues" you do.

Damn, this shouldn`t be an issue to begin with.

You can say that again

I'm waiting to get my new computer to play in DirectX 11 mode, I'm a sucker for pretty graphics, and I'm worried now that I will be greatly disappointed. If the high res textures already exists, which seems to be the case, there is no point in not adding them in some way.

They can add HD-res to mog shop for $24.99 please look forward to it

That would be low even for SE to do.

I don't think so they already have one piece outfit for $15 and a mount for $24 that people throw money at.

We're gonna need some cheese for all this whine.

So wood is the new grass?

Edit: On a serious note... Monster Hunter games on the 3DS have better textures than we do. A HANDHELD game looks better than what we have. Come on. >_>+

I can think of a much bigger eyesore. Honestly don't see anything wrong with the OP image.
