graphic update?

[Jakin]

Was wondering whether the dev team has any plans to upgrade the graphics. They are very outdated and I know for a fact this game would get even more players if the graphic looked how they look in Final Fantasy 7 remake.

It will never look like FF7 Remake because its an MMO with hundreds of player on screen sometimes. One of the reasons 1.0 failed is atrocious performance because of the graphics.

oh! The 10,000 polygon flowerpots...

Sure were pretty though..

they should revert to the FF7 original graphics where everyone has square arms

Until ( if ever ) they upgrade the engine or make a new one ( unlikely ) i don't think is gonna get much better.

The opposite actually. A lot of people wouldnt be able to play anymore and only a small part of the players would buy a new PC just to be able to Enjoy FF14. They would lose a ton of Costumers.

What are you going on about, OP? The graphics in this game are far, far from outdated. The only graphical-related problem are some lower quality textures (mostly occuring within armour). It would be nice to see that fixed, yes, but the graphics are far from outdated.

Yoshi P commented before that at 6.0's release they would contemplate this but right now there's obviously a lot of other priorities going on. They also seem to be behind schedule by quite a bit so this is pretty far off their radar I'm sure. BUT with every patch they make improvements. Unfortunately they cannot update the textures without remaking them from scratch because 4k textures weren't even a conceivable thing when this game released. Even to this day it isn't for cross-platform support but that doesn't mean PC can't have that option one day. FF11 has a mod where someone used machine learning to upscale every texture to 4k or something like that. I never played FF11 but I did see the demo and it was pretty amazing and took the modder a couple of years to achieve.

The game looks fine as it is though, it may not have call of duty graphics but that doesn't matter. Maybe should they decide on the next FF MMORPG, they will have FF7R-like graphics but it won't be for this game. Adding features like raytracing does seem like an option though.

I would prefer if the games graphics only had a HQ modification. I wouldn’t play if it ended up looking like FF-7, my computer would 100% not be able to handle it.

I also love how the game’s *style* looks too. FF-7R is a specific style, and much more different than this style. It’s actually closer to something like BDO.

They said that a graphic update if any would happen after 7.0 at the earliest if they were planning to do one which we don't know if they are or not.

Thank you for actually being knowledgeable about 1.0 unlike 99% of individuals who shit on it without understanding why it failed but instead only parrot bull crap they read on the internet.
