The Graphical Update

[Fukuro]

just a quick few examples that i had still on my HD of what is already possible with just a little effort. This game can really look amazing with the right filters, at least for PC users.

These might look better for you, but I honestly prefer the ones they showed us. Compared to the current game they look better but still keep the same feel. The ones you showed for example are too „colorful“ for my taste. That was actually a subject they touched on the LL, they don‘t want to change the general atmosphere too much.
You also gotta keep in mind the ones they showed are just a month into testing. There will be more upgrades to gear etc.

New Lala model looks great

I just hope my 1080ti will be able to handle it. Won't know until it happens though. I really don't want to have to switch to playing the PS4 because a new PC graphics card is not int he financial picture.

This game can run on a straight up potato, it's optimized pretty well IMO. I have a 1080 ti until I get a 3080 ti or better but the market is currently in shambles so I'll be waiting for awhile.

But to mirror what someone else said, 1080ti still has a couple more years in it considering its about the strength of current gen consoles (PS5) so that makes that for FFXIV, it'll be supported for the long run.

It seems like our prayers have been answered! While I doubt this will include the coveted butt slider, this may mean we will see a revisit to character customization in 7.0


What I really want to see is a separation of face locked aesthetics: let miqo'te choose their face markings, let Viera have their tattoos regardless of head choice etc etc

Oh and finally decouple au ra horns from heads.

This is how people set themselves up to be upset when 7.0 launches. They never implied any of the stuff you mentioned are happening.

Can we just appreciate what a master troll YoshiP is?

Would there be any chance of a simple implementation of RTX/Raytracing support? More specifically, the DLSS part of it so that its not as taxing to run at 4k or 8k. I'd rather see what they've got in stock for us when this update happens, but it can't hurt to ask to make use of the RTX cores in my GPU for running the game at higher resolutions as 4k is standard and 8k is slowly gaining some attraction from high end enthusiasts. I am aware FFXV had some RTX implementation with DLSS.

Ray Tracing will require DirectX 12. That means they have to add DX 12 support.

I just wanna see hi-res Fem'ra face and have a booty that isn't flatter than a pancake in a sandwhich press
