How good is the game engine of FFXIV?

[TheVigilant]

it literally does come down to art style

This is NOT what I'm asking for in FFXIV, just what I can use as an example cause it's the same art style yet obviously better than what we currently see when the camera is close to things since FFXIV is an MMO but I want to stop this art style subject at once:

SAME COMPANY
SAME ART STYLE

And does not look like the hair was a piece of chewing gum where the lines were make it feel like it's separate hairs and then the chewing gum was pulled and expanded to resize.

STOP with the art style now.

1.0 was the same art style with beautiful graphics on a different engine and we know it was a mess, but if some things could be improved in the current FFXIV and we can have better options at maximum settings, we can be grateful.

[UPDATE]

I've just found out that this exists:

And that they're not against the rules according to an official post by SE in the forums here. It gives me hope that we can have things like this in the future in the game's settings.

Just to show you that it's not the art style:
