February 5th Announcement, Realistic Expectations Thread

For a minimal graphic up, it's possible even with the ps4,
with the directx12 implementation.

On the other hand a major graphic up, it won't come before 7.0 that's for sure,

or else the ps4 version will stay on dx11 with non-updated assets, and special assets for pc and ps5 but it's not their style to make that kind of change and it would be disloyal for ps4 players.

Despite all the criticism I give SE I do love the game, however I refuse to have high expectations for anything in the game until it's implemented. They like to be vague and hope we don't notice problems far too often. And they are kinda bad at public relations, like leaving speculation about viera being female only till the second fanfest. Also lots of "please look forward to it"s that never happen such as more egi glamours. So I'm going to watch it but I don't expect anything mind blowing. And I seriously hope beast master being teased in bozja so much is a full job and not another play it the day of patch and don't touch it again till the next one job like blue.

The last financial earnings report from Square said that FFXIV's numbers are still growing to the point that a new MMO could only cannibalize personnel, development time, and playerbase from XIV, so it be a negative value added. My guess is if we do see another online Final Fantasy project, it will be distinct from the MMO structure.

The "PS3 limitation" came more from the fact that it used completely different architecture compared to most PCs and consoles.

Playing on PS3 was horrible. That is what I started this game on. Thankfully the PS4 version wasn't too far behind, so I was able to make the switch relatively quickly, but I couldn't imagine ever going back. May it rest in pieces.

Or they include ffxi reborn in your ffxiv subscription, for example.
