Any large graphical overhaul would likely come at the expense of an entire expansion. Honestly, if it came down to it i'd rather they just focus on a new MMO if they want something with shiny new graphics.

I never really cared that much about textures in FF14, but I couldn't help but notice it was kinda glaring in 5.3 (like others have mentioned) when it came to the Exarch. It was the very first time in the over 5 years I've played the game that my eyes and brain couldn't ignore how pixelated the crystalization effect was.

The Glamour Effect: That awkward moment when you realize you know FFXIV's gear pieces better than your own wardrobe X'D
From what I know, due to the game being made from the 1.0 code they said updating the game graphically would be a complete overhaul and take a ton of resources.
"The worst foe lies within the self."
Maybe but please don't give flowerpots more polygons than our charactermodels. I wish our charactermodels would get upgrades, our armpits are literally a 3 polygons masacre.
Perhaps not, but when seen they're no less obvious than, say, if our fingers were a collective rectangular prism differentiated only by normal lighting maps. That our resident potatoes can hide them doesn't always make them okay.
I've been wanting a FFXIV on a new engine for a while.I could definitely see them rebuilding the game on a modern game engine to increase texture and address the "built-in lag" at the same time. We all got used to it / how to abuse it with telegraphed abilities but it would be a legit major improvement if the game is still around for many more years.
Better textures and models, sure, but also better inventory management and maybe better character customization if they can get the game and the nightmare servers to line up better.
....Also maybe the nightmare servers could be fixed someday. That would be nice.
