Thread: Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXXVII! (Art Director Minagawa)

Can he direct the art team to make the textures on armor/walls/floors/etc to be more high res? Its 2017 and yet some parts of this game look like its still 1997.

Any comment regarding the issues that PS4 players expressed with the launch of 4.0, and how their System Display size became either uncomfortably small or ridiculously oversized?

Some of the new Job Gauge UIs are pretty obvious and straight-forward in terms of purpose and design inspiration (ie. Bard gets a song-scroll to track the duration of its songs), but others are a bit more out-there. Specifically, the Black Mage Job Gauge has something of a clock-like appearance. Was there any particular inspiration or reasoning behind this?

I really love the Shisui gear. Would it be possible to get some more "dressy" armors and such (kimono/yukata/etc) from dungeon gear?

If you had creative control over an Expansion, what type of areas would you want to create?

I don't have a question per se, but as a player who has vision issues, thank you for doing so much to make things easier to see and navigate in game. It is a huge help, and not something that's seen very often in MMOs. I appreciate it very much!

Greetings Hiroshi Minagawa & the rest of the FFXIV team o/

Thank you for your continued fantastic and hard work!

My Question for you: Stormblood was a fantastic expansion from both a narrative and visual perspective, however as the years pass by it has become increasingly evident that the fidelity of the game is starting to show some age. Is there any plans going forward to optimize overall fidelity, via engine upgrades, HD texture packs, graphic updates or other such means?
