They just need to drop PS4 support, it is holding us back.

I guess, the FF14 assets are still made for the PS3. The PS4-GPU is roughly equivalent to a RTX 1060 or Radeon RX 590. And those GPUs have no problems with highres textures.

This is the key thing.

For people saying that the PS4 needs to be dropped, remember that these assets come from a time when the game was on a platform that was so extremely resource constrained that they had to remove UI elements just to be able to fit blank unlabelled TP bars into memory.

Moving beyond what the PS4 (Which is mainly expensive shader/effect/post processing workloads that stretch it's memory bandwidth) can offer is a bad long term decision IMO as it rules out the potential for an eventual Switch/Switch 2 port (The current Switch is likely too bandwidth constrained to ever be a viable platform, but the Switch 2 should hopefully address that).
