EU Graphical Update Feedback - Hands and Feet

[AeryaAS]

what you all don't like having sausages for fingers and blocks for feet?

Wait, why are people calling them sausage fingers? Sausages aren't square. Sausage fingers would be an improvement.

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.

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.

If they're updating the horn models I would assume they're updating the tail model as well since those are the defining features of Au Ra, but I guess we'll find out whenever the benchmark comes out.
