Graphics Update In The Future?

[Eldevern]

The games was built to work on PS3. An overall graphic update almost need a whole rewamp of both server code and client code. From what I know FFXIV engine is a mix of Crystal Tools with few parts of Luminous engine. If they really want to make the game "up-to-date", it would be less expensive and faster to build a new game. But it remains unlikely to happens soon since most wide audience systems can't handle latest graphics at their max. Four Titan X for a demonstration during a show is not exactly what I call a wide diffusion system. And since we talk so much about global warming... don't expect they follow a path that leads to always more powerfull desktop systems. Unfortunatly, I expect they rather adapt to mobile systems.

On one hand, I wish it be some kind of photorealism, but on the other hand... Imagine Namazu texture, considering them, I'm fine with the current ones

Spaghetti code OP

Pretty much this.

I do like the Lahn animation and the graphics :3 But they have clipping problems too and need more graphics ressources. FFXIV looks to be a bit more efficient.
