Actually the Game was designed for a PLaystation 2 graphics chip.. and the NVIDIA logo on the Game Box is all Marketting.. Nvidia Gives that COmpany couple Hundred Thousand to put thier logo on it.. and say it is meant to be played by them.
The game utilizes Direct X 8.1 Standard.. Nothing NEW to any recent cards.. it isn't optimised for anythgin Nvidia Has that ATI doesn't
The ATI ANtialiasing bug.. can be with the ATI drivers and certain games. Has really nothign to do with the Game having an nVidia Logo on it.
The graphics in FFXI top all other mmo's that Ive seen, though I wish they would have done a little better job on the water, but thats the only graphical problem I've noticed.
Originally posted by Tymora Final Fantasy XI was made to run on a PS2. I read that the default resolution even on PC is 640X480, or whatever. Then I read if you boost the resolution up to 800X600 or higher, the game really starts looking great. I haven't played yet, but I have been doing some info searching for like a week and I plan on getting FFXI tomorrow. I can't wait. I am sure the graphics won't dissapoint.
Mines on 1024x768 and....wow
If the graphics were to get any better im gonna need a new rig.
Cartoons cant = good graphics. Cartoons = cartoons. Realism or surealism = good graphics.

Yup.
Although I suppose a game can have good cartoon graphics, but who wants that? . . . unless you're 5
To me, good graphics make a game look and FEEL as if you are there in it. I can never feel this way when graphics and images look cartoonish. Something like Lineage II or Dark and Light, even Everquest 2, they are all trying to create an atmosphere you can get immersed in and feel like it's all real. I can't wait for that. I don't think I'll get that feeling in WoW, which is one of the reasons I am not looking forward to it, but that's not to say the graphics in WoW will not be good. Hope I made my point clear, if not, doesn't really matter, I guess, hehe.

I am currently playing FFXI, but in no way does the graphics look cartoonish to me. The character models and some of the creatures may be alittle silly looking sometimes, but that is the look of the game, I guess (I never played a FF game before). I agree that it is not as realistic looking as Everquest 2, Lineage 2, or Dark and Light. I was talking about World of Warcraft, in which the graphics are made to look and feel like the RTS games of old, only upgraded with todays technology. I think in FFXI, if you look past the character models and creatures, the game is very realistic looking, but that is just my opinion.
THAT DOESETN MEAN A ************%@@$%@$$ thing ramadin as to my knowlege FF games graphics to playstation look real/semi real okie or tried to the humes in FFX1 look semi real as do rest i think realler then EQ2
LOL i love eq and always will but they need to fix those char ill tell you what they look like now
the lighting in EQ2 and the texture they use for there chars make them look as if there polished CLAY or GLASS or marble the armor kinda looks all like one peice with the pearl white looking armor THEY need to fix these graphics before luanching EQ2 now chars do not look EVEN CLOSE TO REAL to me

Bad graphics and FFXI should never be in the same sentence. I just don't understand what pleases you if you can honestly say that FFXI is an ugly game.
I didn't read everyones comments so if I repeat your point...I dunno, feel flattered. I think the graphics are great. Maybe not perfect, but you have to look at what I"m coming from (Dark Ages, NOT DAOC...just Dark Ages (DON'T PLAY IT)). Anyways. I think the graphics are nice. From what I've seen. And I like Doom....
dude im a huge n00b when it comes to gaming but the graphics rock imo.... my brother a game desingers that does this crap for aliving agrees u need to just take urself back to CS and stick it

This isnt just your everyday darkness, this is .......... ADVANCED DARKNESS
I played FF at max rez with all the special settings to get the most out of it and dont think the graphics sucked by any means. I dont think they were all that special though either.
What FFXI did well imo was the special effects like the weapon chain graphics, or the wind and dust in dry climates. Some of that added a great deal of immersion.
As for cartoons vs realism thats a silly argument, they are just different styles and each can look as good or better then the other depending on the art involved and the tastes of the viewer. For instance, EQ2 is stressing realism but they seemed to have forgotten to add any artistic flare to the claymation models and buildings they have created, resulting in an overall poor graphical look imo.
FFXI has very silly looking monsters, and a tiny pool of them at that, which was one of the reasons I quit when I got to level 50 fighting the same 6 rediculous creature models. That however is just one piece of the graphics. I think the character models and much of the building architecture was excellently done.
Since this game was designed for the playstation you really cant expect it to compete with the top computer mmorpgs but all in all its graphically pretty good from my point of view.
I think both Lineage 2 and WoW are quite a few steps ahead of FFXI graphically but FFXI is still one of the better mmorpgs in overall look.
