How good is the game engine of FFXIV?

[Shurrikhan]

There are many things you can say about B&S but well optimized isn't one of them that game runs like trash complete and utter trash its optimization is a meme and a well deserved one. This is coming from someone who still plays the game doing the latest raids it runs horribly.

I never said it was well optimized. But as the numerous things which noticeably bog its FPS do not include looking many a player in the face, be it in towns out leveling, or 5v5 PvP, or the dungeon loading areas, character customization is not the reason for its poor optimization. Character creation depth and frames per second aren't mutually exclusive except perhaps in this game's particular engine

It's like directly blaming a man's diet for his present condition after he's been knifed several times. It's not a significant factor. That you are dying does not mean you ate poorly. That a game bogs does not mean it's being weighed down by character customization.
