Lackluster Graphics in FFXIV

[Abriael]

Well... as a student in video games, I just want to say that the Crystal Tool engine used for FFXIV is just a crappy unoptimised one. Just because Crystal tool was first made for PS3 system (remember GTA4 on pc ? It was the same problem....).

So, my PS3 can run FFXIII in FHD wich have a lot more visuals effect than FFXIV on a GPU 7950gtx, but my PC can't run FFXIV more than 1600x1050px with less than medium graphics options because it freeze/ram ?
Don't make me laugh.
Moreover, my PC can run Crysis in FHD with ultra graphics options (and believe me, there's much more polygons than in FFXIV with 1000 soldiers, and the map are very huge too).

So, yeah as a student on video games, I know that we can't do a MMO with crysis-like graphics.
But you can't say that the Crystal Tool version used for FFXIV is well optimised. Seriously, if I just try to run Ambiant Occlusion or Depth of Field, It freeze/ram so much that the game is unplayable.

If SE optimise the Crystal Tool engine, they'll perfectly be able to add some more effect like terrain shadows, or volumetric light.

You have quite evidently a LOT more to study. Sorry to burst a bubble here but being a "student" doesn't give you any professional knowledge on something (without mentioning that "bragging" to be a student of anything on the internets doesn't give you any authority).

FFXIII running on your PS3 needs to display a MUCH lower number of characters (and as such polygons) than a MMORPG needs to display.
The same could be said for crysis. And this has already been mentioned multiple times during the thread, so you're a bit late.

Might want to go back on the books.
A first post boasting your student curriculum and saying something completely nonsensical relayed to the topic you say you're studying is the perfect way to say "hello world!"

This, of course, if someone didn't just make an alternate account to troll further.

Funny again .. where do you see reflective water on FFXIV ? there just a white effect. but no reflection. I never saw the reflection of the boat in the water in FFXIV.

Where did I say there was any?
