Ff14 Graphic Mod

[Evangeline Mellon]

Dawntrailis the next Final Fantasy 14 expansion pack planned for release later this summer. While Final Fantasy 14's new Pictomancer and Viper jobs, playable female Hrothgar, and the new zones, dungeons, and raids in Tural are exciting, one of the biggest changes coming in Dawntrail is the massive graphics overhaul.

During the last Fan Festival in Japan, players got a good look at the character models for each playable race in Final Fantasy 14, and what they are going to look like after this graphics update. It revealed side-by-side examples of every different player character model, from Midlander Hyur to Hrothgar, showing how much they will all be changing. While some, like the male Lalafell, have only minor changes, examples like the female Elezen and Au Ra show some impressive improvements.

Final Fantasy 14 is readying up to release its massive Dawntrail expansion and 7.0 update this July, featuring a gorgeous graphical overhaul that shows how far the MMO has come since its rebirth over 10 years ago.

Publisher Square Enix released a trailer to show off the game's fancy graphics update that's coming alongside the next expansion, where we can see improved lighting, overhauled textures, and vastly more detailed materials. Some Jobs appear to be enjoying new animations too. See for yourself below.

The above trailer gives us a pretty beefy idea of what Final Fantasy 14 will look later this year as the camera sweeps through big landscapes and zooms into finer character details. The Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail benchmark will be available tomorrow, April 14, so you can see how well your PC can run the hefty improvements.

Dawntrail is certainly a looker from everything we've seen so far, but producer Naoki 'Yoshi-P' Yoshida also jumped on a livestream to emphasize just how dramatic the changes will be. The side-by-side comparisons begin at roughly the 2-hour mark or you can find a quick embedded clip below that compares the same environment from 6.58 to the improved version in 7.0.

Yoshida previously expressed regret over how the game lit darker-skinned characters, acknowledging the MMO was "bad" at displaying certain skin tones properly. This upcoming update aims to rectify such criticisms, but we won't know how it shakes out until Dawntrail sets sail this summer. Things are certainly looking up, though.

Kaan freelances for various websites including Rock Paper Shotgun, Eurogamer, and this one, Gamesradar. He particularly enjoys writing about spooky indies, throwback RPGs, and anything that's vaguely silly. Also has an English Literature and Film Studies degree that he'll soon forget.

Today, during a dedicated panel at Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival in London, Square Enix provided new information and images of the upcoming first graphical update coming with the expansion "Dawntrail."

We then move on to improvements made to creatures. Texture resolution and shaders have been updated. On top of that, new creatures introduced with the Dawntrail expansion will have a higher polygon count as well.

While many might see the changes in the graphics update as minuscule, it honestly makes sense why it's blowing up so much with the player base. Through its story focus and various systems, FFXIV has made it easy for players to lean into self-expression.

More than any other MMO out there, FFXIV inserts the player directly into the narrative and takes deliberate steps to make your character feel unique, through friendships, dialogue, choices, and relationships. This is on top of the more social elements of the game, like housing and Free Companies. But that story focus integrally changes how players build a bond with their character, which in turn, makes it less surprising that fans are responding this vehemently to the graphical changes.

If you read my original Final Fantasy XIV Steam Deck article, you saw how well the game ran back then. With the Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail release and 7.0 graphics update, Final Fantasy XIV looks better than ever before across the board, but performance has taken a hit. On similar settings, the game can now drop to 30fps during busy boss fights, and during a stress test moving into first person even resulted in sub 30fps. Having turned down shadows a bit more, it holds the 30fps or higher target well. This is with dynamic resolution enabled.

FFXIV Dawntrail has finally officially launched. Finding the best graphics settings for Dawntrail can significantly enhance your gaming experience. Whether you aim for stunning visuals or smooth performance, this guide, shared by Desperius on his YouTube channel, will help you optimize your settings to achieve the perfect balance, ensuring an immersive and enjoyable adventure in the FFXIV world.

The capital is vibrant and bright, full of interesting characters and beautiful architecture. But there are a lot of mysteries hidden within the city. Use maps and other clues to try and figure out what lies deeper inside the city walls, leading to even more intense fights.

The third portion of the trailer takes place in the clear blue waters of the ocean. Climb aboard a ship and head toward adventures in Tural. It looks like there will be plenty of opportunity to explore the waters as well as the tropical forests.

One of the big features of Dawntrail is a big graphical overhaul. Yoshida and the team are hoping to make the game appear more modern, including environmental details and enhancements to characters. While characters are updated, however, Yoshida reassured players that they will still look the same.

The trailer reveals a new race at the end, a Female Hrothgar on the boat heading to the new land. The male counterpart was added during the Shadowbringers expansion and now the rarer female form is joining in on the action.

Duty Support will be returning in Dawntrail, which will give single players some fun. Bring NPCs along with you for dungeons instead of matching up with other players, allowing you to play alone and experience a deep narrative. You can also explore various planets with Cosmic Exploration.

Based on this page the Framework 16 with the integrated graphics alone should be between the minimum and recommended specs for the graphics card and way better than the recommended for all other categories.

I found this article which covers iGPU performance for FF14. They report a 780M in an AMD 7840U getting 70fps on average on the laptop preset. I am willing to believe it. They show a 12700H getting around 35fps which is about what my laptop with a 13700H/Iris Xe hits when running the game on laptop settings at 2560X1600. The 780M is supposed to have roughly twice the performance of Iris Xe so that tracks almost perfectly here.

Out of curiosity for the graphics upgrade it looks like Square Enix will not be dropping PS4 support for FF14, so we can expect the game to run (hopefully) acceptably on the PS4 after the 7.0 update. That gives us some baseline because we can compare the PS4 GPU and the Radeon 780M. The 780M has fewer compute units but is much newer silicon with theoretically better performance listed. The newer minimum specs on the PC listing are higher but so long as they are maintaining PS4 support I suspect iGPUs will do fine with the game.

Yeah FFXIV is super unstable with any sort of tweaking. It seems to be an issue with whatever it's doing at lighter loads; if I VSR to 8K I have no issues with stability, but at 4K it's a bit of a mess. Thankfully during raids it's perfectly fine...

I just wanted to reiterate this issue. It almost feels like it has been happening more frequently on the most recent drivers. I have multiple monitors and have noticed it appears to happen more often when viewing a video on the 2nd monitor while playing but I can't confirm that as a trigger, but I will attempt to induce it more to help troubleshoot the issue. This does not happen in other games so far. RDR2 crashes but that appears to be a game issue and it's not a driver crash. I play a lot of Hunt Showdown and that has not crashed at all yet.

I posted a response earlier but don't see it. Just giving this a bump because this is still a persistent issue and is borderline making the game unplayable especially in a raiding scenario where I have to worry about crashes mid pull.

So the fix right now is to turn off freesync. If CRU worked with 7900 GPUs, we should be able to decrease the freesync range and increase the bottom of the range from 1 to 24 or 30, and it should work.

My installation of MW2 (in a seperate thread) is doing exactly the same thing. Wished I'ld never swapped to AMD from Nvidia. Was running perfectly well with the 3080ti I had. Now, nothing but problems. Reinsatlled everything multiple times. Only thing left is go with a new PSU (mine is a 850w), but most websites state that this should be enough. My PS5 is more friggin stable! Arrrrrrrrrrgh!

I've been having this problem with FFXIV ever since I got my 7900 XTX over a month ago. I keep hoping that one of these driver updates will fix the issue and that they actually read the stupid bug report box I fill out every time it crashes but it still hasn't gone away. Everything will freeze, there will be a black screen and then Windows will reappear with an 1100002 DirectX error message and FFXIV closed out. I have tried everything, from capping the fps to 60, turning off freesync, running it in borderless window and fullscreen, running it in DirectX9 and messing around with the graphics settings but nothing has worked and FFXIV is the only game that has been experiencing these issues. It is definitely a driver issue as a Event 4101 always will appear in the event log and my 1000 watt PSU/thermals are excellent.

The one thing that I've noticed is that clicking on other applications or clicking on my other monitor or having Youtube visible and running on my second monitor definitely seems to exacerbate it. Sometimes it'll go for hours without a crash but if there's something playing on my second monitor or I'm clicking back and forth a bit it'll most definitely occur within the hour.
