Better graphics optimization?

[Solitear]

I play on a lower end machine, yet with most games I still get 20-30 fps which is ok. These games have many different options to tweak the graphics

ff14 does not.

Why can't I turn off environmental shadows and only character shadows? Why can't I turn off anioscopic filtering? Why can't I lower my draw distance? These 3 things alone would greatly increase my fps and I might actually considering subbing once my month is up.

These options should be standard in 2013. Look at EQ2. The optimization is insane for that game and it was made in 2004!

Maybe I get into the registry and tweak it from there? I'd really like shadows gone completely and my filtering turned off. I just find it hard to believe there is no way to do these things.

No troll answers please. I know I need a better computer, but it's simply not in my budget right now. I don't have a ps3 so that is out of the question as well.

What I am looking for is a way to get this game running decent like basically every other mmo I have played in the past 4 years. Let me put it this way I played Aion and with the graphics tweaked, it ran like charm. I understand that 14 is superior graphically, but even so, where is the optimization?

System specs helps out but on side note ever given thought on upgrading your gpu if your power supply up to task should help you out... But again without system specs hard to help you.
