This....needs to be replaced ASAP

They're not short staffed to the point where they need to close the community forum to any suggestions/requests. They're a company, not 5 people creating a game in their garage.

I never said otherwise. I merely repeated what Yoshida has said. I have enough criticisms about how the game can be handled, but I feel more keen to listen to him on concerns of staffing compared to a forum poster. On the topic of the forums, NA Forums actually don’t see a lot of activity or input from the developers or community mods. I hear they are more active on the JP forums, so perhaps it is a language thing. I’m sure they read some of the threads, but they probably pay attention to the ones that are fairly large and egregious (like Housing, for example).

I feel like you’re seriously underestimating the time it would take for them to go back and make textures for every thing you find unsatisfactory. I don’t think that this is a large enough complaint to really get priority over other things at this time. Not when there are other complaints that more people find concerning and that probably need to be seriously addressed—like the Housing system or healer balance, to give two hot topics right now.

No your not the only one. The problem we have here is there are people who have a graphics fetish and will go out of their way to find issues with a games graphics.

I personally don’t care either. HD Textures would be nice, but I can play the game just fine as it is. The random low resolution trees or rocks in the far distance don’t bother me even at 2K.


Bleh, posting limits.

Do you realize that these environment design choices have everything to do with 32bit OS limitations (computers people bought before 2008) and not about today's computers? The ps3 specifically held 2.0 areas back because it virtually had no RAM in it. You're not really understanding the hardware that today's gamers are using.

You also don’t seem to understand that not everyone plays on enthusiast-tier PCs. I may have a fairly beefy PC, but that doesn’t mean that everyone does. Some play with just enough to get them by and not with PCs that can run 4K, 144 FPS, with Max settings. For a while, I played on a laptop. Before that, PS4. And before that, PS3. I have friends who have played on toaster computers but don’t care enough to “optimize” the game graphics to invest in something stronger (or just simply cannot afford it due to other financial responsibilities tying up funds).

The point is, is that the developers optimize the game around those who do not have The Best PC. They can slowly let lower end things go in the future, but I think there are far more pressing things that need to be addressed compared to rocks or trees that people zoom by and barely spare a glance to. If they upgrade any textures, make it character model/gear textures. I think people would care more about those than this tree tbh.
