EU Graphical Update Feedback - Hands and Feet

[Lmihani]

Same! I'd love if they implemented things others are talking about, like painting our nails through the aesthetician (hell I want to see body tattoos added there too, like the sleeve from the skyworker's singlet so it doesn't vanish when I change from my tank top to anything else) but I just desperately want my female characters to not have massive man hands anymore.

As an elezen I'd also like to advocate for better necks.

One thing I haven't seen brought up is whether they'll update tails at all? There's no gear issues to worry about (aside from one or two cases) so you'd think they would, but the fact they haven't mentioned it makes me think otherwise...

I don't think you have anything to worry about. It would be quite bizarre for all your scales to be HD except the ones on your tail.

I would assume the tail hair will get updated texture wise, but I do hope they increase volume since they are adding in new hair texture's as they have shown on the famous Llama mount.

I would hope in the future when they drop support for PS4 that they updated physics at least a little bit, such as tail physics, hair, cloth, etc. I really want ray-tracing options for computers that can handle it, heck even Cyberpunk has path-tracing options and PS5 has hardware based ray-tracing support (even though it's not great).

Less worried about the textures as I am the model itself, it's quite poorly made/rigged (not to mention some Miqo'te tails being just flat planes, though I'm not sure how they could address that specific issue)

Jepp, but those poor models choke less on the CPU. The game engine is already very CPU- and memory performance intensive. If they improve the character models then they will have to increase the minimum requirements for the CPU. And many players will become unhappy because of it. Because it will force them to buy a new computer. You do not want to play this game at 25 fps or so.

Is there source somewhere that says that FF14 models are CPU heavy?

I just thought that GPU would mainly handle the rendering, with CPU simply telling what to draw.
