we need a high res texture pack as an optional download

This won't surprise me, SE would do such a thing & milk out FFXIV without improving it when it comes to animation/graphic issues.

Let's see how Yoshida will do, he didn't even bother to fix how SMN's egis look even at Lv.70 so I don't expect any good out of him after all that.

so..



Are you okay with this Yoshida? shitty quality? shitty movement animation?

[ChocoFeru]

I'm ok with the "shitty" animations since they have to adapt them for every hardware, but a HD textures pack should be a MUST since it was promised bac on 2.0.

They already have the HD textures so it should be easy to implement.


I guess the only downside for them is that the textures weights more than the game itself, and that's a lot to download. I say make it optional and maybe put it in the mogstation (yeah, I'm against to "mogstation everything" yet I understand the cost of a huge download like this).

Let's bump the thread!

I am all for this too! The world is so lovely let's do it justice with HD textures.

I think you are wrong in what i marked, there are MMOs that have HQ movement animation & they are doing fine, no issues with better movement animation so what you said above is like telling SE "don't improve it's good now b/c of hardware issues" even though it's not true.

Just don't say things that stop this game from getting better & that's what we all want.

Anyways I'll be cancelling my sub with FFXIV in the end of this month if our feedback is not valued by them & no positive reply from reps.

Now they probably should update the hair, because as much as these hair styles are nice, they are suffering from DX9 fatique in shading. Like, this is what V2.0 looked like:



And this is what V1.0 looked like:

I do really want them to fix hair as well

My last hope is that SE has already begun works on the next main numbered Final Fantasy Online and that it will be only then that we get a true 4K experience!...

Weren't they done with numbered FFs?

I wholeheartedly support the idea of a high resolution texture pack.

As long as it's optional, obviously.

[ChocoFeru]

We want HD textures!

I have a feeling that the amount of labor and QA that will go into providing such an option will end up costing quite a bit. If they ever do offer it, it will probably cost as much as an expansion. Another option is a different package such as Stormblood and Stormblood HD. I would love to see it included in our subs but considering how much it will cost, buying it appears to be the only practical solution if we want it any time soon.

... I'm not sure of any other game where updated textures cost money, outside of microtransactions.

It also depends how they handle development. If they start better quality before axing it to meet requirements... the work was already done.
