it's fiction

Don't worry, Viera are coming soon

second from the left looks asian and far right is black.

Because you can choose black skin in character creation you dishonest faggot.

They aren't humans.

Because even if I wasn't white I would probably go out of my way to play as a white character and wish I was white.

feels good

Yeah, no, FFXIV is certainly not an RPG.

Sony is what's holding the game back graphically as well. They won't offer hi res textures because muh console parity

Ill give you the girl looks asian but the far right looks eastern european.

Nigga you think yoshi wants to put in the effort to update the shit 1.0 engine when he can just keep making assets for literal free money?

The guy looks arab.

funny

The blonde looks like she fucks beastmen

the switch couldnt run it
the game is already held back by the PS4 and you want it to be even worse

She was so annoying but God I miss her tits.

Aryan, Eurasian, Southern Slav, Latino.

because nobody wants to be a black person

>the switch couldnt run it

And yet the PS3 can? The heck?

>Thinking they would actually upgrade graphics even if the PS4 could run it

Lmao. To be fair, the game looks nice enough for an MMO.

Ps3 support was dropped for a reason you idiot

Why do switch owners always complain about not having games? You literally bought the decision because you prioritize certain games over others. Don't get mad when developers stick with a certain console.

true mhigger is not a real race and should be eliminated

remove highlanders

AY YO HOL UP

what face is that? not that I want to copy it or anything

I don't think you know what you are talking about. 1.0 Engine? Do you mean crystal tools? The engine that caused ffxiv to fail in 2010? The current engine doesn't really have a name other than the FFXIV engine, and it has considerably lower quality assets than the crystal tools engine from 1.0. Also, doing a high res texture overhaul really should be that hard. it's literally just texture swapping for higher res textures. Its how modders are able to retexture all of Skyrim.

>where da whyte mages at?

The 1.0 engine has been gone since 2012 what in the actual fuck are you talking about

It wasnt crystal tools that was the problem (mostly), it was outsourcing to China and a poor development cycle that fucked the game

because I'm white

/thread

>far right looks eastern european
This is a troll post right?

1.0 didn't even have very high res textures but what it did have was high res normal maps that was usually like twice the res of the texture. I guess it really made a fuck huge difference

It was Wada that fucked the game thinking a barely finished piece of a shit should compete against a WoW expansion

imagine not playing a nigger lala

Why do vidya waifus look exclusively Asian or White?

It also went full motion cap and the animations were fucking gorgeous. It really was insane how good the game looked

Shame about the rest of most of it

Actually barely finished isn't accurate it's more like XIV was barely even started at the time they released it.

No, they are still using the base code from 1.0 the only thing that changed were assets and world building crystal tools was moved over to another engine but it still has the issue of being built on the base 1.0 code.
They did not rebuild all of the systems from the ground up, the mostly just took out the shit ones and kept the base stuff needing for modeling and rendering.
THESE are the kind of systems that they'd need to alter to enable high res textures.
Keep in mind they would need to change ALL of the texture in every zone and we know they don't even have an automated system for fitting gear to new body meshes.
Most likely it take a shitload of manpower that they'd rather allocate to making "new" content.

>gored by a beast that broke free of its fetters during a parade
>doesn't mention it was a fucking goobbue
lmao yeah, I'd be embarrassed too.

Oh so making a new game engine for ARR was a waste of time? Are you dense? did you even play 1.0? the scripting language was lua and a high-level slow language. There was no scalability in crystal tools. That is why it never released on ps3. SE promised FFXIV for ps3 and that is a big reason why they recreated the ffxiv engine.

Despite the myriad of issues I still think a number of its core concepts were superior to what we got in 2.0. Namely gear design, dungeon design and class concepts

I wish they had improved upon the ideas instead of throwing out the baby with the bath water and just making a wow clone instead

>White
Anoooooon

changing it from a ffxi clone to a wow clone was a good idea. 14 never had originality in mind

>I wish they had improved upon the ideas instead of throwing out the baby with the bath water and just making a wow clone instead
Yep they really bait and switched us. I don't think anyone expected what we got.

The best thing from 1.23 that they ruined in my opinion is the crafting/melding, itemization and stats. They streamlined it way way way too much.

It was never a XI clone

I would have preferred an XI clone simply because theres less of those around (none since 2004 as far as I know]

If you don't care for WoW's structure then you dont really have any modern MMOs to play.

The input delay and clunky controls were killers, and not to mention the menu after menu. I did really enjoy ffxiv at 1.0 tho. Some of the spells were awesome, sacred prism as a white mage and being able to benediction your whole party. The high-end dungeons were pretty hard. They had really interesting ideas for gear progression and involving crafters. Unfortunately, Yoshi P said let's do a wow clone, and make it so monsters drop high in gear. But to balance that out, they have the next wave of high-end gear crafted.

Yeah I'm not defending the latency and all the technical issues I'm talking about the game design concepts.

I loved the melding aspect where you could just risk it all to make broken gear and the game wouldn't stop you. BIS was theoretically always crafted/melded because you could always just meld more to hit cap if you had enough patience or gil. It was really rewarding but there's no way the current playerbase would stand for something like that.

do you guys think that introducing crafted gear with the same iLvl as the current cap would be acceptable? you would have the tomestone gear, the raiding gear and the crafted gear (not pentameldable), all 3 with a different combination of substats

Is crafted gear even used for anything anymore except playing dress-up and making more shit for crafters?

the quality of the assets were insane back in 2010. The potted plants had more polys than character models do these days.

I am not complaining about not having games, i am pointing out that it was a very, very stupid decision from part of Square. Hence why i said ''their loss''

>2006 console

many jobs use a few accessories here and there to minmax but that's it

Yeah when they did the relaunch the pointed that out as an "improvement" which I didn't get.

It's not 2006 anymore I would think modern machines should be able to handle models like that. I played 1.0 on a mid-range laptop and it handled it just fine so I can't imagine what kind of potatoes most people were playing on if they couldn't run it with decent graphics settings

if you're looking for world firsts day 1 crafted gear is usually mandatory for overmelding

>Pointing out it's a very stupid decision
Is it stupid it's not on Xbox either? You switch owners. For real I don't know if you're baiting or just this dumb.
