Graphics Update In The Future?

[Fawkes]

Why do people keep asking for this? Do they not realize that the game already looks pretty good and is extremely well-optimized for an MMO? Due the nature of how they work, an MMO will never have the same level of graphics as a single player game can have. I play this game on my 4K TV at 60FPS and it looks better than an MMO has any business looking. Yeah, some of the older textures and areas don't look as good as newer ones, but that's the nature of ANY MMO. The only thing I could possibly ask for is updated character models - everything else looks great.

Different perspective, most likely. I've been looking at these same character models and low quality textures for six years now. If you're just playing the game normally and zoomed out then it does look quite good. But as soon as you notice how bad a hair texture is you start seeing it in every close-up in every cinematic.

This was the first moment for me where the textures looking bad took me completely out of a scene:

Traditionally Final Fantasy cinematics were the best looking part of the game, but this is the complete opposite.

Nobody is saying it needs to look as good as whatever new release pushing the boundaries of how good graphics can be, but at some point they should probably do something.

I've also zoomed in a fair few times to look at peoples armour and then you really start to see the low-quality textures in the game, to the point where just like in your screenshot, everything looks very pixely when you zoom in quite close, fortunately the game had done a strangely good job at making things still look quite good providing you don't zoom in too close to what ever it is you're looking at, but even still it would be nice to have upgraded optional textures to make this game look even better for those that have the rigs for it.
