What do you all think of the Graphics Update overall?
I don't think that should bother people because i think MMOs should reach as many people as they can. I'm here for mechanics, group events, epic boss fights. Graphics are my last concern but this update is a nice to have one. Glad that devs trying to fix some older textures while not exaggerating it, simply keeping it playable for as many players as they can.
I hate what happened to the eyes. They have this dead look to them...I mean, some of the improvements are great, but I really, truly hate the way eyes look :(
While we might not zoom in on our characters manually, the game does do it a lot in cutscenes both for our own characters and NPCs, so all of these changes will be very noticable
Very true - great point and callout!
I zoom into my character's face frequently.
Very hyped for the updates ^^
I am so envious of the new players getting to experience the game for the first time with these graphics
Is not that noticeable...
I did find the changes a little too subtle. I understand that they wanted to keep the art style. But I do think that they could have done way more, specially with the textures.
Looking back at these comparisons, I agree. I also wish we would have gotten higher poly counts on everything but Yoshi P admitted it wasn't possible. The biggest change (and welcome) is the grass tech. I hope when we all see this on our own screen it's more noticeable.
What's so bad about *subtlety?* In isolation, you won't notice a difference. As a whole, you'll start to notice more than you realized.
Besides, to say they could do more with the textures is based on the assumption that they are finished.
In retrospect, you may find that you were right or way of base. Until then, it'd be best to withhold judgment until all of the facts are in order.
But what are facts when basing a judgment on a subjective preference.
I think you just need to play it and see it. I'm sure you will be surprised. Not everyone is good at visualizing.
Yep. The worst part is we know it’s going to be a while before they do another update (if ever), so it’d sad that this id the best it’s gonna get. I love how detailed WoW went with its character model upgrades.
Overall my excitement for the graphics update is through the roof. Only thing I hope they'll be careful with is not making the new eye textures too dark since it's hard enough as it is to make characters have any sort of vibrant colored eyes, also people will probably be upset if their character has noticeable darker looking eyes after the update. I think that's where the Au Ra eyes criticism comes too mostly, the new limbal ring is not striking enough in the example. Hopefully we can still make some crazy looking fantasy eyes for Au Ra after the update.
Really looking forward to what they show in the Japan fanfest as well as some more high resolution example images of all this stuff. The materials for gear especially is making my mouth water :D
Yeah you touched on a topic that I'm sure will either upset fans or excite them - the eyes. I for one love it but I'm worried about others who won't. Other than that, the dense grass, trees, Ambient Occlusion, the metals.. it's just all so gorgeous. I'll probably run around A Realm Reborn area first just to see the new graphics. It was the most memorable to me being a Legacy Member so returning to Eorzea after the servers shut down will always have a special place in my heart.
@@oxfordking Dawntrail will be the perfect time to finally do a full New Game+ run :)
This was the DREAM when they were making 1.0. This shit is what they WISH they were making. It's so good to see the game continually drop the PS3-set limitations and finally begin to represent the vision for the game like this.
Yeah I agree - although the graphics update is subtle I definitely see the materials, grass density, shadows and just overall density of objects littered throughout. I think people were expecting mind blowing changes like BDO or the like. I'm happy with this. I wouldn't mind seeing a light UI change though - just something a little different.
I was waiting for literally anyone to make a video about this. I watched it live and it was really interesting and probably had the best announcements from this fanfest but it seemed like for some reason no one on youtube actually cares about this
Oh I loved this part the most honestly - I was actually editing my first reaction to the Fan Fest while this part was playing on my other screen and was like.... wait I NEED to break this down asap. So here we are.
I feel like most people were talking about the new jobs in most discussions. The graphical update has been talked about for a few months although this is the first big look at it so maybe people are jaded on the graphical side of it.
A lot of small graphical improvements that will add up to a much improved feeling of the world. Crucial thing is all the "immersion busters" are being dealt with. AA with the new DLSS, fog and shadowing will improve the three dimensionality of the world, GRASS!!, softer shadows, higher textures, etc. Then there are things that will make the game look more beautiful, like material detail, ambient lighting, global lighting, etc. Really excited.
Yup your comment is exactly how I felt while reacting to this update 👍
It looks hype AF
Indeed it does
Its a great time to be Gposer in 7.0 🤩🤩
100% Agreed
I wish they would add DLSS. For one reason alone: The Anti aliasing effect of DLSS is so freaking good at reducing subpixel shimmering (seen in the flickering of the leaves and grass when it is in the distance for example). But seemingly, nobody is annoyed at this imperfection of the graphics engine except me. So I will just have to deal with it. (Unfortunately it will not be touched, as can be seen in the trailer for the Viper job, where the jungle foliage goes crazy with flickering in one shot)
Oh it's annoying I'm just not vocal about it - I wish they would add DLSS and FSR but they won't (or can't) whichever it is.
yer I couldn't stand that shimmering. It makes areas of the game look noisy and ugly. I also find the UI a bit ugly also but did get use to it kind of.
The exact issue you mentioned is why I had to uninstall the game after 3 hours of tweaking and trying everything possible.
Not even Reshade shader TFAA could fix the grass shimmer/flicker in motion so I gave up.
Had a similar issue with Black Desert Online when I tried it out, this time it was with pop-in of textures, objects and LODs.
*_"But seemingly, nobody is annoyed at this imperfection of the graphics engine except me."_*
You're not that special. I've seen countless arguments by many different people complaining about the engine and how it displays shadows.
Besides, who can say whether or not that flickering effect will stay or disappear. They aren't finished yet. You would do well to take this into account before forming an argument around absolutes.
One thing I'm worried about is console performance. I play on ps5 in 4k and most of the time, it's smooth 60fps. It just dips a lot mostly upon logging in and very certain conditions if the camera is close to certain effects. I'm worried it will be dropped to like, an average of 45fps or something
I hope they iron out these issues as well - 4K mode is going to take a hit (I hope it doesnt) forcing PS5 owners to switch to Performance Mode which, imho, is unacceptable. Let's see how things pan out next summer.
Wow just got to the section showing off the leather armor. Now that’s impressive as hell!
Yeah that leather looked awesome
updated from a 2007 mmorpg to a 2012 mmorpg
The graphical update looks amazing but on a personal note I hope they use this opportunity to give male highlanders some eyebrows
Haha yeah I never realized this until now - after all these years. Let's see!
@@oxfordking you might have not noticed it because alot of highlanders use fake eyebrows with facepaint xD
It would be nice if we have Dlss and Fsr in ffxiv
That would be huge if they can add that in for sure.
I just don't find the improvements to be substantial enough to draw folks in who may be eyeing the latest and greatest MMOs coming onto the market. They need a lighting engine overhaul and that's going to be monumentally more challenging.
My initial reaction to this was all excitement at the time of the reaction but after time has passed I have to agree with everyone in the comments. The PS4 is holding everyone else back and I also feel that Yoshi P may be as well. Originally they had images of what looked to be a massively overhauled game but he was afraid players were going to be upset so he made the decision to dial the new graphics back a lot. I was not a fan of that as I was in favor of what they initially had. It was looking more like a modern MMO or just modern graphics in general. It makes me sad that 10+ years later older consoles are holding back its full potential. Something that will never change I suppose.
@@oxfordking They have to create a new MMO. There is no way around it. 1.) New MMOs will use new tech and this will give them a hard competition. 2) They don't have to develope for old hardware and can get rid of legacy code.
As I remember from a reddit post they already working on a new MMO. EDIT: With the GW3 anouncement they have even more pressure.
For global illumination from whqt they showed in the presentation I believe they are probably mainly doing it by reusing the reflection probes as GI probes (basically local HDRis) for their PBR materials. I doubt they'll add anything real time RT to the game
Yeah this method makes totaly sense - I can't imagine them adding RT in an MMO honestly. But their GI is amazing imo.
@@lushen952 RT lighting is quite powerful, it brings a level of illumination that is not achievable with traditional lighting techniques such as those commonly used in many titles from the late 2010s and prior. I have no doubts that ray traced lighting in FFXIV would have made a huge difference. In fact, modders have already done this.
ruclips.net/video/Hk64qNC77hk/видео.html
The biggest example of RT not having a huge effect is Cyberpunk2077 - The non ray traced lighting mode does a fantastic job of simulating how ray traced light paths would illuminate scenes. In that game, the only noticeable changes (to my eyes) between RT and non RT are in the reflections. This is due to the devs putting in a huge amount of work in utilizing traditional illumination to render scenes.
In comparison, when you take a traditionally lit game - the famous examples being Minecraft at the most basic level and Portal RTX at a more low-middling level, the scenes look completely different, with very noticeable differences in shadowing and the way light emitting objects in scenes are shown.
While I agree that the marketing for RT was hilariously egregious, I don't think applying the "small amount of environments" argument in the context of FFXIV would hold much water, since it is a dated game that relies (until graphics update) some very dated lighting methods.
@@lushen952 RT reflextion would look great for metal textures and water surfaces. But it would never be implemented.
It LOOKS like they're updating textures. God I hope they update textures
Textures will be updated but the Polygon Count will remain the same, unfortunately. Fog, Lighting, Meshes, Fur, Ambient Occlusion etc are being updated just not mind blowing like we were all hoping for. This will be one of those instances where we won't notice the change until it's on our own screens and not a compressed YT video. Right now it's not too crazy of a change outside of the Grass, Trees and Fog density.
@@oxfordking ngl the game currently does look good and with all those changes it'll look event better. I'm sure it will be noticeable
As someone who haven't played FFXIV and waiting for a graphics update before I start, this is going to be the point when I start playing.
Take note that not all the expansions will have the upgrade on Day 1. It will be rolled out in phases - from the looks of it, A Real Reborn, Dawntrail, Shadowbringers and Endwalker will have the update - this is just based images and video footage I've seen. Yoshi P also announced a while back that this would be deployed in phases from outward to inward meaning the ARR and the last 3 Expansions. I didn't see any footage of Heavensward nor Stormblood.
@@oxfordkingOh wow thank you kindly for the information. I didn't know that. I should buy some of the latest expansions when I get the game later, then. Thank you!
Imagine doing all this work on the world just to have people stand in 1 city and queue for dungeons.
I'll be rolling around in the new dense grass while queuing 🍻
i chose bright purple glowy limbal rings, but nothing about them "floating" on top of the eyeball looks particularly good. It's jarring, even. I'm happy for the upcoming changes, although preserving the glow is a non-negotiable imo.
(Edit: typo)
Nice yeah I was very curious on what players thought about this. Thanks for sharing 👍
Might be a bit meme-y, but this really takes me back... last time I was so excited for better looking dense grass was Skyrim modding in 2014 XDDDDD
Yeah this whole Grass Dense thing is legit my most anticipated part of this update - the grass right now is just so bad and from what I'm seeing here is just so good. Those Skyrim Mods bring that game to life like never before.
Not sold on the Au Ra eyes yet, but the fog is good. Always loved when games look like they're stuck in Silent Hill.
Yeah I hope they brighten them up - hopefully they show more at the next Fan Fest in Jan.
Lol geometry hasn't increased,it's the contact shadows and the shading that make the models look deeper and more real
It’s too subtle. I wish they went further with the upgrade. I get that they didn’t wanna go so far that the console would struggle but we aren’t gonna get another update for a long time so I wish it went further.
Agreed. Could have been so much better.
@@oxfordking Either way I'm still excited. I'm installing the game as we speak, I've been away for an expansion. I'm still surprised you can't preorder the expansion!
Elezen males finally look handsome and majestic
Yeah they look great 👍
Wow, I can't wait for this to drop!
My PC has an RTX 4070ti, Ryzen9 7950x, CORSAIR VENGEANCE 64gb of DDR5(duel channel) with a Samsung 4tb 990pro SSD. I hope my PC will be able to handle this at 1440 on an ultrawide 34 inch monitor. Since currently there's no DLSS 3 or FSR 3 support. Hopefully they will include it with the update. As of right now I get my monitors max fps of 175 basically everywhere except for in heavily populated areas it drops to in between 95 to 65 fps but once I get back into the open world it goes back up to 175/174fps. This is at 1440p with max graphics. I just upgraded my pc I don't want to have to upgrade again. Gaming at 1080p or sub 55fos is no good. Does anyone know if FSR 3 or DLSS 3 will be included?
No Downscaling options have been announced. Your system is more than capable 👍
Unless you’re on a high end pc that can do 8K 120fps no one is gonna notice the difference
I agree and I just hope the game looks better on our own screens and not through compressed YT Videos. I wish they dropped PS4 Support....
They're increasing the minimum specs a lot. The game is going to be heavy for my machine.
I hope the improvement justifies the hassle,
I'm curious if they'll ever add DLSS or FSR - I doubt it but I'm hopeful
Time to move on. Game developers need to move forward with the times and technology and can’t keep limiting themselves because of a select few
Going against race logic, I don't use the limbal rings on my Au'ra because rn they look so ugly... so thank god they are remaking them QwQ
same here! :D
Thanks for commenting on this - was curious to hear from those that were looking forward to the change or not.
@@oxfordking Yep, in my case I understand that they may not look sooooo brilliant anymore (at least in the comparation picture), but from all the details, that was one that was just ugly/uncomfy to look, like, you've got a round eye... AND AN HEXAGON LIKE RING INSIDE D: just no lol, in every close up to my character to look at it would ruin the feeling xD
I hope they someday update the cloaks and capes in the game. I just dont want them to stick to the model soo much. give it just a tiny bit of freedom. just a bit lol
Great breakdown!
Thanks!
We’ve needed this for sooo long! It’s gonna look amazing on my ultrawide Alienware HDR monitor in 3440x1440!
Same here, I use an Ultrawide as well 👍🍻
I must say i cant see so much difference maybe in game when I see it on my own PC I will notice it but idk :D
Yeah after watching this back several times after my initial reaction, I have to agree... it is underwhelming but the new tech is there when it comes to textures, lighting, fog, density. It's just not mindblowing... which is very unfortunate. Yoshi-P went to the safe route. Should have pushed the tech further but I feel the PS4 support is holding everyone else back once again.
RIP everyone playing this on an old PC
Definitely - potato machines won't cut it with this next update.
@@oxfordking Grass and shadows, the 2 biggest killers lol
it's about time to move on. Currently the game still has models and graphics made for the 3 digit series graphic cards and PS3 lol
Even after the update its still made for the 2k cards
@@Banana-cc5rx Yea I'll be fine, but many are running on barely competent hardware.
Love the game but for me it’s just to visually unappealing to play the menu hotbars all of it is just not for me and idk if this is enough to bring me back
Legitimate question, and sorry if you answered it. Does PS5 get to capitalize on the graphical enhancements?
Chad! Dude it's really good to see you man. Yes the PS5 (and now Xbox Series X) is the Reason for the jump to better visuals. The PC version is just along for the ride. The PS3 was holding back the game's visuals all those years ago. They ended support for the PS3 which allowed them to move forward on visuals. I'm sure one day they'll cut PS4 support as well; not anytime soon though as majority of their player base is on PS4/PC.
Will they like ever actually make seamless world of eorzea? Or will it always look like PS3 world building where everything is sharded into million pieces?
Great question and I hope they go back and remove the PS3 limitations as well. The City States being one of them. Splitting the small towns into two, sometimes 3 sections is just ridiculous today.
@@oxfordking I mean i'm not keen on comparing but damn WoW vanilla had that seamless technology all the way back in 2004.
Like in 2023/2024 to still have a sharded city... Sharded zones... You know? It's just so off putting. Doesn't feel to me like i'm playing on eorzea at all just some maps that claim to be on eorzea...
But that's just me.
@@sermerlin1 One simple distinction.
*_WoW was made with the intent of being PC centric. FFXIV was made with the consoles in mind._*
Now, of course, those limitations are disappearing as time goes on and hardware improves. However, this would require rebuilding all of the zones so they feel connected and natural. This would also require more time and resources then they possibly have, especially _time._ How quick we are to forget these simple truths.
@@Hawkenwhacker yes. With PS4 such restrictions disappeared.
And yes it would take hefty amount of time to make it proper.
And they should be doing that as the games zones look ancient. No amount of lighting/shadow/texture update polish will fix that.
They need to make a small team and start grinding. When it gets done it gets done.
Geez i hope this doesnt increase the needed PC specs by much
They went over the specs in my reaction video: ruclips.net/video/ctYjfF2s0k8/видео.html
@@oxfordking awesome thank you!
looks the same. They need to just port it to UE5
Last gen consoles holding everything back yet again. To those that still have last gen time to upgrade 🤷♂️
Agreed once again - PS4 holding everyone else back.
Should I wait to play this game for the best graphical experience?
If you haven't started yet yeah I would wait BUT just be aware that not all of the expansions are getting the graphics update Day 1. From what I can tell 3 expansions are getting this. A Realm Reborn, Endwalker and Dawntrail.
@@oxfordking Gotcha, yeah I havent started quite yet but was really thinking about it. Thanks for info, Ill be ready to check this game out once the expansion drops.
Will the RoG Ally be able to run the new graphics update. I only play on my Ally.
Only excited for the lighting honestly 😅 mods provide u with a similar or even better 4k textures and more detailed graphics 😅
The new Dense Grass is my favorite with this update; that and the fog tech.
So far, it's underwhelming. I can play Hogwarts Legacy and Flight Simulator 2020 on ultra without any lag and those games are beautiful.
Here, I have to squint and flip back and forth between before and after just to barely notice a difference. Why on earth are people required to upgrade their system for a 1% difference? It just seems unfair.
It's a huge change in requirements, yet it's a minor change in graphics.
The new system requirements are hardly a huge change and the update graphics are hardly minor.
You sure love to lean into the dramatics, don't cha?
@@Hawkenwhacker How do you get dramatics from that?
When is this update coming?
Summer 2024 (Northern Hemisphere Summer) so June, July or August 2024 - no official release date, yet. Also, the gfx update will be in phases and not all the expansions will get this update on Day 1 of Dawntrail. Yoshi-P mentioned "outward in" with the update so Dawntrail, A Realm Reborn, maybe Endwalker - not sure on Heavensward, Stormblood and Shadowbringers just yet.
The one other video/podcast where they actually talked about the eye ring on Au Ra, they all just kinda laughed at those who want the similar effect on the newer models. Yes, the current one doesn't look good and the new one looks more natural, but people made their characters with that glowing ring in mind-some 8 years ago when Heavensward came out. Can you imagine having that defining trait on your character you chose for that long and it's just gone? They just need to make it stand out and glow and it'll probably be good. They already said it was made by magic anyways, so why can't it glow?
Yeah this is a great point which why I asked that question specifically due to the amount time players have had with their characters. Perhaps they can take in player feedback and make them glow a lot more. Let's see what they showcase at the Tokyo Fan Fest.
From how they were talking about it it's still supposed to glow, just now it won't be unshaded like the previous solution was. Basically the glow will look stronger with darker surroundings while it will be weaker like shown in the screenshot with very bright surroundings. I do hope they make them a bit brighter at daylight though than they were in that screenshot.
@@sinom I'm sure changes will be made all the way up to Release - Yoshi P is all over this - you can even see him analyzing details even still live on stage. Awesome to see.
@@sinom That's the problem though, isn't it? The eyes are supposed to glow, and probably will. But what happens when someone interprets these changes based on their feelings rather than the facts? They start creating a fiction devoid from reality and believe what their imagination has created for them, which then becomes the "logic" they internalize. All you have to do is look at the situation with SCH and Island Sanctuary.
Nice cat
Graphical updates are amazing but I am hoping we will have more detailed mocap for our cutscenes. This will be a hot take but in my personal opinion, v1.0 had better animation. Only if we had something similar.
how is that a "hot take"? literally every cutscene in 1.0 had mo-capped animations, of course they were better! :P running-animations were also way better in 1.0, they way characters leaned from side to side, and how they started and stopped moving so smoothly - i don't think anyone is denying that 1.0 had better animations overall. if anything, it'd be a "hot take" if you said ARR and onwards had better animations than 1.0 :P
yeah I remember the 1.0 cutscenes looking better in the mo cap area for sure - they felt like actual cutscenes with more movement etc. But I am very happy with everything else we got from the team for sure. Just one of those things, you gain some you lose some. We gained a lot on this one.
I really hope next is animations update and adding new animations
I can acknowledge that the animations were better. Here is the missing caveat.
If you were to apply better animations in cutscenes, then people would expect to have better animations during gameplay. And what happens when those animations require more fluidity? People would complain that they move *too* realistically. They would get out of attacks slower. Their character would take longer to get around the world. The loud minority would riot, as they tend to do. Compromises have to be made, whether through gameplay concerns or hardware limitations. Huh... The more you know.
Series x can handle an even better graphical update, this is just average at best 😦 😂
2012 graphics upgraded 2015 graphics... not impressed.
yet, still no long hairs.
ah come on they can do better then this, at least a little more not too crazy but this is underwelming, at least i hope they update the g eneral animations too, the running etc and when you do abilities while moving your character looks really wierd, and npc talking animation in engine cut scenes need an upgrade asap
Nah the animations all looked the same to me. The more time went by since this video the more I wish they upgraded more. This is good and all but could have been so much better. Another console issue holding everyone else back.
@@oxfordking agree but now that i think about it, what made it a bit underwheling before for me, is how they are showing each upgrade, they were literally showing them separately, (when they showed the shadows upgrade they only showed that everything else was the old game which makes it look underwhelming just from looking) so as of yet we havent see the game running with all the upgrades, textures, lighting, shadows etc at the same time in like a good pc too. the general animations do look wierd, like running, jumping and hitting the ground you feel like you are floating like just movement in general looks really dated, and the ingame cutscenes (when characters npcs are talking) how everybody talks the same way, stiff like robots, it needs an update asap, i think if they do that, this update could actually make the game so much better. and about consoles idk ps4 maybe is holding ff14 back but ps5 is really powerfull it can handle pretty much everything, so i think whats holding ff14 back is more so the ps4 ofc and the fact that they want potato PCs to run the game, which i get, but is kinda dumb like dont go overboard with that, most pc gamers have a decent PCs in 2024 if not they would get a ps5. but yea excited nontheless for downtrail
Huh? Barely any difference wtf?! 😂
10+ years just to get these graphics update? what a joke
PS4 Support
Barely any difference
they are spending a whole lot of time on something that when zoomed out and playing the game normal 99% of the time... doesnt even get noticed..
i mean these differences are like nothing...
would rather this time be put torwards content
but whatever lol
Yeah I made a comment about that as well somewhere in the video - would rather them spend time on the environment updates than the character details. Hopefully it all looks good on our screens come launch.
It's okay to admit that you don't have an eye for these things, which is ironic, as you *should* be able to make this stuff out, considering the video's you've made. Hmm.
Honesty can take you places when you're not beating around the bush like you are.
Although creating new content that revolves around the end of a story doesn't make a lot of logical sense. Where would it go? How would it end?
But who cares. CONTENT!🤪
2010 GFX updated to 2015 GFX and they ask an RTX card for this underwhelming update and still looks worse than other f2p mmos. Hard pass.
Blame PS4 support. 10 year old console. They should have dropped that before this update but would have lost a lot of customers.
@@oxfordking I guess they milked the playerbase for what its worth. Next.
Looks very underwhelming
The differences are not "Insane" at all....
It's "insane" because I said so you degenerate
It seems like a waste of time and effort to focus on polishing a 13-year-old game instead of developing a new, modern game. The lighting and texture resolution are not the main reasons why someone would pass on this game. The mechanics are outdated and quite boring, even the hardest content comes down to simply standing in the right spot and waiting for the GCD. However, the story finally provides some meaning and significance to the choices made in the variant dungeons, similar to how SWTOR figured out how to make choices matter in an MMO back in 2011. On the other hand, games like BDO and Tera are much more engaging in terms of combat, despite being around the same age. While it's true that FF14 is a fine game and people enjoy it, and it clearly makes enough money to warrant support, it's hard to imagine playing it in 5-10 years. The combat cannot be altered too much, and the story has already jumped the shark by having us save all of creation. Now, we're back to solving petty political issues while on vacation. All that's left is the fashion show aspect of it all hints the texture and lighting updates.
New graphic look insane. Now...can we have content in the next dlc? If you are not doing savage content, there is no reason to pay a sub. I will skip next xpac. I will wait for the second next one to roll in. Then i will have enough content to play...
Yeah I don't do Savage content only due to playing other games for this channel. Savage, imo, requires a static, dedication and almost like a job with the amount of time and preparation it takes. Personally I love the challenge but I just don't have the time for it. If this was a FFXIV only channel then sure but I enjoy way to many other games to stick to just FFXIV Savage.
@@oxfordking I am with you on this. I love the challenge. But having raced for world first in wow 20 uears ago...i just sont have it i. Me for wipe nighrs anynore.
The theme of the expansion has gotten lost on you, huh?
It makes much more sense to create a new set of content that revolves around something other than the end of a story.
I admit. It must be nice to be a player who allows their ignorance to get in the way of things. 😛
@@Hawkenwhacker We found a fanboy. Let me guess...you play a lala?
I'm not impressed at all about this update. It's so minor and disappointing. There really is no point to release this update, because it still looks the same pretty much.
Wtf is this an fanboy speach?😂
Its so very little no one will notice it after 10 minits playing.
Its no upgrade....
Wtf is this dumbass comment? 😩😩😩
Go cry more little b1tch. You're good at it.
ffxiv ppl really cling onto anything and everything to make their absolute dog shit no end game, node clicking, console game seem decent xD
*_"I hate this game, but I will post a comment on how much I hate this game and insult the people that enjoy it."_*
You're trying really, really hard to make yourself look cool.
Go back to playing Valorant. That trigger finger has lost its edge.🤪
I have to disagree characters don't look all tht great 😅 look the same just new lining and glow.. But if u like it 🎉 for u combat in the game still needs to change its the biggest problem then character lôoks etc
the entire point is that they are supposed to look the same with new lighting and "glow", as you put it... so, what were you expecting exactly?
@@ecMonify I wasn't expecting much
that's exactly what is going to be updated. Lighting, minor polygon fix for models and higher resolution textures. It's mostly very simple changes, you can't go overboard in MMOs the game will just blow up. Like New world, you can't even run the game properly unless you install the game on an SSD
@@Banana-cc5rx wat will make me happy is ff11 and ff14 work together on both games and now ppl tht wants to play ff11 on ps5 can
@@Banana-cc5rxwhat’s disappointing is its just the same or even a bit worse than what modders did so they havent really added anything new 😢
graphic update = meh for me
Honestly they are meh for me as well now - after watching the Tokyo Fan Fest I'm wishing they went harder on the update; this is minimal at best. I also didn't like what Yoshi-P said in his opening Keynote "We're glad players aren't seeing a difference, that's a good thing" No it's not a good thing. It's bad. I know what he was insinuating with that statement (keeping the game aesthetically the same etc.) but we want improved visuals in 2024.
when i can create a character that doesnt look 15 ill think about it
