    I know this is a innocent ask but you don't really understand just what you're asking for.
    It's not as simple as flipping a switch and it's back to having your old graphics.
    The graphics fundamentally changed at a system level.
    SE didn't just update texture, they actually changed how a lot of things are handled and also deleted many things the old graphics used.
    This will also triple the game size to hold all the bad textures, they would have to recreate the old lighting source and shadows to replicate the old graphics.
    Without doing that you will notice even more pixilation than usual since the old lighting and shadows did a good job in hiding it.
    You say you don't care but will once you actually see it yourself.
    You can see it in blender If you're so inclined to see it in real time.
    When SE updated the graphics they ACTUALLY updated it and not a simple just upscale texture and lighting then called it a day.
    Also forgot to point out this will double their work because they would have to add new light sources and old light sources in every new dungeon they make and they would have to add old textures and good textures to every new outfit and raid boss or npc they create... again...doubling their work.

    Basically...it's not happening...

    You guys just have to accept this is happening.
    SE isn't going to waste resources to recreate something like this, sounds harsh but it's true.

    That dev time is better spent on making the game actually fun to play and not having another endwalker with nothing to do.
