Overall FFXIV looks great in 4k on my system so I'm still pretty happy.

They never implied that the graphical update would bring more than anything they already explitely showed. Yoshi-P actually said the opposite in an interview: we shouldn't expect meaningful changes to CC for 7.0 since the graphical update is already an huge undertaking.

I don't know didn't he say things about NPC's and that some of them would receive the update and we'd have to wait for others? What graphics would they be talking about if it wasn't a character optimization? I do believe they want to be careful about changing characters because we've become attached to those we have although I'm not sure textures and the like wouldn't be included in an update.

If you have a link to those comments I'd be happy to read them.

From my understanding, Yoshi did actually comment something along the line of "the art team is testing this out with the engine and want to actually push this even further if possible", but yes he did say specifically don't expect a complete graphics overhaul so the game won't look like for example "Horizon Forbidden West", which is accurate I'm sure. If they are upgrading the engine (most likely from their experience working on the next Final Fantasy game) it's possible that it can handle more than they think since Yoshi announced this essentially during the testing phase, so we'll have to see! I'm being optimistic and hoping they can push the graphics update a little further than expected in many aspects, especially since 5-8 years from now they are still gonna be adding content to the game and I can only imagine how much more realistic other games by then will look like so they'll want to future proof this game as much as they can
