I would think many of you would be more concerned about this statement from Yoshi P during the Live Letter:

Right now this is set up on the highest quality in core i7 PC so for those of you playing current FFXIV at highest it should be like this.



While I am certain the true quality didn't come through over the Live Feed, it does seem that the overall graphic quality has been downgraded. Personally I am ok with this as 1.xx was a lag fest for me so I do not mind sacrificing some graphics for gameplay.
