FINAL FANTASY 14 AND NEXT GEN

[RayddenPrime]

Next generation is right around the corner,
How will FF14 tackle next generation? What would you suggest to improve upon going into next generation for the game?
-big graphical upgrades? Environment, physics, textures, weather , lighting, shadow, maybe even Ray tracing? Etc
-Engine upgrade ? To maybe support fully seamless open world maybe ? Land, air and underwater?
- underwater combat? Air combat? Naval combat?

I expect about as much to change as when they went from PS3 to PS4.

Nothing will change because they wont give up PS4 support.

PS4 is not holding the gae back it's people still using potato computers.

I am pretty sure they will make a new MMO before changing anything in XIV.

It pretty is, jaguar CPU in those ancient machines is really bad and developers have huge problems when creating living moving worlds with it. The consoles themselves were technologically inferior 1 year after release and cant even hold today games in 1080p in stable 30 fps... The jaguar CPU on ps4/xbox one is so bad that is actually worse than PS3 cell CPU, which has been discovered to be on pair with current intel cpus when it comes to efficiency.
The current generation of consoles are such a huge mistake that sony and ms had to create a better version ps4 pro and xbox one x in order to keep their playerbase jumping over to PC.

Be that as it may.. the PS4 isn't holding XIV back at all tho. Yes the base PS4 was pretty weak but it's lack of power has nothing to do with XIV or anything. Hell it's been stated people on 32 bit systems and walmart computers that are now the new hold back. The ps4 is not it.
