I am so excited for this update. Took an MMO break waiting for it. Tried WoW for a bit but its just not the same. FFXIV really hits me right since Cata came out for WoW. People should really look up the low res textures they used for ARR remake just to speed up production time. Had built in aliasing in the texture itself lol.
Yeah reminder that 7.0 and ARR might be the only first parts updated with the rest coming soon after. You’ll see characters still updated but the additional environmental changes won’t be there in full, at least as far as we know now.
Thank you so much, I was watching them in the grass and flying around and had no idea what I was looking at.... but when you say it was the grass collision and tilting mount effects... it really looks different. Thanks for filling in the gaps!
That would be very cool. There’s that giant chasm in the ocean to explore after all. If it’s not msq, it could be perfect to explore via relic grind. How have we not had a dungeon that includes some diving/swimming this far after Stormblood, that’s what I wanna know.
I recommend people take a whole bunch of close-up screenshots of their character if they haven't already to use if you need to fantasia your way back to your perfect appearance.
I suspect that giant snake thing will be one of the special FATE bosses like how Chi was shown in the Endwalker benchmark and Archaeotania was shown in the Shadowbringers benchmark
I'm so excited for 7.0. Took a break for a while to catch up on my backlog of games and now I'm back on the XIV hype and it feels great to be back with so much to look forward to.
Whoa. Awesome video! Also Foxclon and his penchant for cosplay every long-form Lives. Ahahaha. Also Yoshi-P maybe just pulled an Avere moment there so the two kinda match lol (if you know, you know). Can't wait for the benchmark download to be available so could test out the rig if it can run it XD
i can’t wait to see the how crown of immaculate stage looks like. it’s one of the best looking arenas with the lighting and now to see it improved is gonna be so cool.
I do wanna see what it looks like with character lighting off. Because the scene in Amdapor with the rain, i know they wanna show off the models but it disrupts the shadowy feel when the character is lit up like that. I personally play with Character lighting entirely off because I like the more naturally lit look. I can tell on both sides its set to 100 which i believe is default.
I get ARR vibes from dawntrail simpler story not world ending threats and more of a focus on world building and a sense of a new adventure i cant wait!!
The big dude pointing at the map was one FFXI's Troll beastmen. Not at all surprising to see them in XIV, considering the Lamiae and Mamool Ja that were also introduced in the same XI expansion as Trolls (Treasures of Aht Urghan) have been in the game since the beginning.
@@goni2493 shadowbringers trailer destroys this one in both busy elements on screen and less empty looking zones, dawntrail is another cheaply made expansion , i'd say it's even cheaper then endwalker that was already pretty mid as a ffxiv expac
Remember everyone though that the update won't apply to all expansions at once. They're going to be working backwards from Dawntrail back towards ARR. So remember your favorite dungeon or raid might not change for awhile.
So it seems we'll get the job update/rework (DRG, AST) and the other job related tweaks on the next 2 live letters it seems? Really looking forward to what they've done with DRG and AST and how the other jobs got tweaked. The two new jobs look interesting though most likely I'll just jump into MSQ first before trying them out.
Did they do away with the subsurface scattering and the new skin shader? When i saw the benchmark trailer, the zoom in on the character didn't seem to have those new graphical features on it.
The graphics look a lot smoother than before. Even that is huge. We're talking about an MMO that still runs on PS4s, it would be great if they could make it look like FF16 or FF7 Rebirth, but then the majority of the playerbase wouldn't be able to play it.
My main thing is them getting the overall lighting improved. Although no amount of gfx will fix the weakazz animations and cutscenes. Hopefully, they'll address those at some point in the future by hiring actual cinematographers and animators, instead of letting their Jr Programmers set cameras and regurgitating player emotes in cutscenes.
oh man im so excited for Dawntrail and the graphics looks good im ok how it is now, but a few changes is always welcome and yes I can't wait to play Viper job :)
I love the fact we got a total of like less than 5 seconds of pictomancer gameplay while we got to see ehat I believe to be the limit break for....whatever the other is called in the benchmark trailer
Maybe they are aware that nobody is that excited for a finger painting class when you can wield daggers like Zidane with viper class lol. They know what the cooler class is…
@@fancymustache3793 oh wow, a comment posted by someone offended by something they don’t agree with and can’t manage to present a proper rebuttal. Try harder.
@@pandamonium9255 I mean you started this acting like viper being cooler is a fact when its a very common idea (more common than a magic painter) and very much not creative or unique. So I have jo respect for a person coming to reply to my comment acting like their opinion is superior.
I watched the trailer and rand the benchmark. Sure theres and improvement in graphics but it wasnt earth shattering or anything. Things looks better thats about all.
The new anti aliasing methods are huge for me. I don't care if my pc can't handle better textures or lighting but as long as I get to use that new AA it'll change how the game looks, especially from afar, drastically
I just did the benchmark for DawnTrail and only got a score of 8700…it says that’s HIGH but I really don’t think so. Everyone else I know is getting double or triple that. I really don’t have the money to upgrade my cpu, motherboard, and memory right now. It’s gonna cost at least $700 which is a lot for me. I just got a new graphics card, it’s not the best but it’s twice as good as my last, but my cpu is so old it’s holding it back. Ugh, I guess I can try to scrape up some money before July.
let's be honest, graphical udpate looks good and it's great for all active players or even inactive who already experienced the game and liked it but i can't imagine someone new who cares about graphics looking at Dawntrail trailer and this update and be like: wow what a graphics, i'm in! And yes there are actually lots of ppl who cares about graphics, which is sad but it is what it is
I think you need to think of it from an MMO perspective only and also consider the original art-style and age of the game. I do agree overall that the new graphics don't really hold a candle to some newer single player AAA games but from an MMO perspective I think this is a good first step in starting to modernize the game. Taking the most popular mmo in the world and giving it a fresh set of paint for the player base is only going to make the best mmo currently even better. Also the game does have a very large player base who have already registered an account (30 mil) and its a subscription game so I'm sure the main focus is retention of current players.
There's nothing sad about it. Visuals are part of presentation. If we had all the same music in the game but it was recorded at a terrible low bitrate and sounded like it was coming out of a trash can, it wouldn't hit the same. If the controls took 3 seconds to respond to your jump command, it wouldn't be the same. Most people would not accept such damning flaws elsewhere, why should they with the visuals? I mean it's a video game, you spend the entire time looking at it. So make it look as nice as you reasonably can without pricing people out of their hardware. Everyone cares about visuals to some extent. If the current visuals don't bother you at all, that's great, but it just means it met some minimum acceptability for you. If it was the same game with gray blobs and comic sans as the the font, you might reconsider whether or not caring about visuals is sad or not. This update isn't to wow people, it's to keep that minimum acceptable level at a point where new players aren't immediately put off by the fact that everything looks really dated. It's to keep the visuals from becoming distracting in a negative way. The antialiasing change alone is huge. The game is jaggy city right now and any amount of foliage just shimmers terribly as the camera moves, it's very bad. So these are very smart things to target.
@@KainsAddiction Are you stupid? They had to keep the original art direction without changing things too drastically or people would've been outraged. This is as good as it gets for ff14. If you were expecting ff16 level of graphics you were delusional from the start.
This isnt a graphics upgrade, its a graphics compatibility update for xbox release. Thats why you look like swtor now, which had the same style of change when they ported to xbox too.
i mean the chocobo is not exactly new i think is the one than was given from players than play the first version of ff14? but yea the graphic update on his feathers is gorgeouse
So, perhaps a hot take, but the new lighting engine is carrying the weight of these graphics changes. When you see the side-by-side of Amdapor, the current game has this horrible yellow/green filter that my friends and I call the piss filter, and that's partially because of the current lighting engine. The new textures are going to be fabulous, but they won't stand out nearly as well without the new lighting engine, so bravo to the devs for fixing that.
Im here in the future where the graphics update is a half finished mess. Half the features are broken, with tons of lighting and performance bugs, and also my character looks like a creepy wall eyed baby now. Awesome. This is what we asked for I guess.
I don't see why people are worried about FFXIV running on ps4 XV ran on ps4 which looks way better than XIV currently. Are people like forgetting how good ps4 graphics are?
Because it's a single player game and not an MMO. MMOs are way more demanding and prioritizing performance will always be better than pretty visuals. Case in point: BDO. I can't get enough of those graphics, but whenever I need to do large scale stuff, I have to dial the settings down.
The graphics are defently an improvment, but I feel this video blows it out of proportion some This is also not a new engine. Its the same that has been in place since 2.0
The graphics update is desperately needed. Coming back to ff14 after playing mostly wow is a bit of an eyesore. The zones and textures are looking pretty dated these days. Looking forward to a fresh coat of paint
It's a shame FSR 1.0 is implemented when 2.0 or 2.1 has been out for SO LONG and is so much better than 1.0 I knew FSR 3.0 was a pipedream I mean c'mon it just released but FSR 1.0 is just not good and in my experience has only ever caused very blurry images.
Unfortunately people think a graphics update means 4K UHD RAYTRACING 700MILLION FPS 4000K GHZ like bruh... mmos are barely made to look like tripple A games... obviously u know black dessert exists but look how that game is doing... is just mid and its more of a fanservice heavy game
@@dafire9634See, you get it. But they're right that a big problem for the game was lack of shadows and weirdly washed out color. There is still room for improvement after seeing these changes though, just won't have to pump in so much compared to right now.
I guess it's just me, but the graphics still look so bad. The textures are still so soft, and the environment just looks like a bunch of blocks. The engine is sadly completely outdated now.
A "revolution" you say Quazii?? I don't know what you just watched, but my eyes just watched them show a SLIGHT graphical enhancement. Barely noticeable most of the time, and far, FAR behind what modern (2024) high end graphics are capable of achieving. But, since no-one plays FFXIV for the graphics (and CBU3 know that) they will never push past what we see here. This is the ceiling for FFXIV graphics - and I'm fine with that!! I mean this game still supports the PS4 and Xbox Series S for goodness sake! 😅😅
And there is nothing wrong for support PS4, PS4 can handle that stuff and more! U basically thinks every old stuff can't handle anything PS4 is a powerful console
The main problem is that this is an MMO not a singleplayer game, so graphics MUST remain accessible or you alienate a very large portion of players who just cant run it, So you need many players and spell effects as well as large zones, for example FF13 on ps3 only managed those graphics because it was a corridor simulator. In the first graphics update showcase they showed the base Hyur in CG and expressly said from the start they werent doing that. A lot of people underestimate how much just good lighting gives a scene, Warframe is an example where they got away with low res textures for years because of great lighting
I am very Happy and excited for this Update. But i was hoping for a bit more clearler graphics bc in my opinion FF has a problem of like "crizzling" i would call it where to many tiny Pixel make the Edges look unsharp
Do you mean anti-aliasing? I believe Yoshi has mentioned in the past that it is not something they can do much about because of the engine it is on, and it would require an overhaul. I could be wrong, but I believe he has address this before somewhere. I agree it would be a massive improvement if they could.
Ehhh, it's good but won't impress any gamer used to today's AAA visuals. Kids nowadays are used to seeing buzzwords like ray-tracing, 4K Resolution, DLSS etc
No mod or shader provides proper antialiasing. There's a few that try but they fail. That DLSS toggle alone will shit all over every mod the game has ever seen, assuming it has a proper implementation.
It blew my mind but not in the good way. It’s insane how much time and resources they spent on this “overhaul” only for it to look like total shit on most races. Seams being wrong, viera ears looking like shit, textures just being messy. It’s horrible.

Thank you so much, I was watching them in the grass and flying around and had no idea what I was looking at.... but when you say it was the grass collision and tilting mount effects... it really looks different. Thanks for filling in the gaps!
Seeing that ocean made me kinda hopeful for a large scale ocean zone with sailing and deep sea diving. Like Eureka or Bozja, but with boats.
That would be very cool. There’s that giant chasm in the ocean to explore after all. If it’s not msq, it could be perfect to explore via relic grind.

I hope for that.
Would it be boring? Probally.
But, after what all happens, did it feels needed to go down again and build up something new.
More like Heavensward maybe, focused on a single nation instead of multiple like ARR.
Usually you can import your character into the benchmark..so I'm interested in seeing how my character looks in the new update
If crystal got a facelift, im most interested in seeing if the Pixel Exarch is still worthy of that name after the update

And there is nothing wrong for support PS4, PS4 can handle that stuff and more! U basically thinks every old stuff can't handle anything PS4 is a powerful console
@@john_7000 You think the PS4 is a powerful console? In 2024?
The main problem is that this is an MMO not a singleplayer game, so graphics MUST remain accessible or you alienate a very large portion of players who just cant run it,
So you need many players and spell effects as well as large zones, for example FF13 on ps3 only managed those graphics because it was a corridor simulator.
In the first graphics update showcase they showed the base Hyur in CG and expressly said from the start they werent doing that.
A lot of people underestimate how much just good lighting gives a scene, Warframe is an example where they got away with low res textures for years because of great lighting
@@dafire9634 I just meant Quazii is calling it a revolution and it is NOT that. Not even close.
We barelly see the differences
I am very Happy and excited for this Update.
But i was hoping for a bit more clearler graphics bc in my opinion FF has a problem of like "crizzling" i would call it where to many tiny Pixel make the Edges look unsharp
Do you mean anti-aliasing? I believe Yoshi has mentioned in the past that it is not something they can do much about because of the engine it is on, and it would require an overhaul. I could be wrong, but I believe he has address this before somewhere. I agree it would be a massive improvement if they could.
Did you both miss the part of the video where they're introducing new antialiasing AND upscaling methods? This will fix the issue.
@@Xbob42 Maybe i did. but yeah that would be cool so im still looking forward to the day i finally see it myself
Ehhh, it's good but won't impress any gamer used to today's AAA visuals. Kids nowadays are used to seeing buzzwords like ray-tracing, 4K Resolution, DLSS etc
As someone who started gaming with Destiny 2, I can confirm that I'm not used to this
Well its a damn good thing kids shouldn’t be playing this game at all, this graphcis update is geared for final fantasy fans
But not all kids earn enough to run smoothly those stuff with 60 fps on their hardware.
Good thing 14 never chases after those crowd. Ew
Then i thank my lucky stars they didnt bother throwing around useless buzzwords...
Seen some of the few new job actions... very underwhelming. Modders' revamped animations for jobs are way better...
Mods and shaders can do this shit for yours already lol
No mod or shader provides proper antialiasing. There's a few that try but they fail. That DLSS toggle alone will shit all over every mod the game has ever seen, assuming it has a proper implementation.
Eaxctly I saw some of the mods and they don't look as good as this. @@Xbob42
They don’t just simply apply post processing shading. They redo all the textures with higher resolution.
Shaders are a filter on the image, they cant make gold textures reflective
@@dafire9634 there are "RTX" shaders that can do that
It blew my mind but not in the good way. It’s insane how much time and resources they spent on this “overhaul” only for it to look like total shit on most races. Seams being wrong, viera ears looking like shit, textures just being messy. It’s horrible.
Nice! the graphics almost look like ps3 graphics!
