Lackluster Graphics in FFXIV

[BelgianRofl]

So could I, but I don't. Would you like me to take a picture of my PC setup?



back on topic, here's what limsa lominsa looks like with maximum graphics. Kinda outta place considering how good the character model looks.

Those are not maxed out graphics...

I'm pretty sure they are. Look at the texture work on his sleeves and on the stonework on the nearby spiral. The distant texture draw in Limsa is just REALLY bad. I can simply rotate my camera and watch it switch between the fantastic hi-res texture and the abysmal and blocky distant texture.

It just looks a lot worse than on my PC, that's why I'm pretty sure they aren't maxed. When I get home, I'll turn everything up to max and post a shot from the same spot if I can.

1280x800? Seriously, might want to get a better monitor/video card. Mediocre resolution does not "maximum graphics" make.

Quite a difference I'd say. Isn't it convenient that we can take pictures too?

Turns out that it's not the game's graphics that are "lackluster", but someone's PC

Better, but there's still quite a difference with the ones I posted. Besides the fact that you intentionally cherry picked the least impressive angle (convenient to zoom in as much as possible in order to show as little as possible of the actual city. Actually very convenient considering that one of the major strenghts of the engine is the wide field of view and amazing draw distance) in order to make the city look worse than it is.

Again, better rig is in order.
