The PS5 beta (yes, I consider what it has now still in beta) will supposedly upgrade various things over time, but we will have to wait and see.

Shoichi Matsuzawa: We are thinking of eventually upgrading in-game textures in phases and are starting initial preparations for that update.
However, we do need to keep in mind that other platforms, including the PlayStation 4 version, are still in service. Since FFXIV is an MMO, we need to place some emphasis on being able to simultaneously render player characters and their equipment, while still ensuring everything works smoothly. We do need to take care when planning major updates like this and start with testing and verifying it all works well.
Plus, assets that we created nearly ten years ago didn’t factor in the possibility of being displayed at the high resolutions available to us today, so we have to think about how to revise quite a massive amount of assets efficiently.

Oh yeah, that's definitely an issue, and better textures are definitely not something I think they need to focus on asap. There are many other things I'd prefer that they work on first. I just think it'd be nice eventually. For the most part I think the game's textures look decent enough.
