Does this mean you need a 4k screen to reap the best benefits ie. does it also mean you need an amazing gpu? Will it impact gameplay/lower frame rates?
I play on 1080p and while it's subtle, there's times it looks dramatically better. For example, the golden text when loading into a city, looks INCREDIBLE. Every little button and word looks so much better with a little inspection. I always felt like the UI felt a little "cheap", and now it looks superb.
Even on a 4k screen, Youtube's compression makes this one hard to see. However, in-game it's extremely obvious as the buttons and text and all that is noticeably blurry by default. If you noticed how clear everyone's names were after logging in (that change seems to be active by default) then you'll DEFINITELY notice this one. There's SO MUCH detail on each skill icon! Some of them that didn't make sense to me because they were just a little too blurry are now crystal clear!
Its really noticeable even on my 1080p monitor. Whenever I look at the mount menu I can see SO many details that I couldn't see before. Can't wait to actually try it on a 4k screen to get the full effect
On ps5 you can’t have the UI render in 4K separate from the game rendering in 1440p which is stupid. I want to play the game in 1440p but have my UI render in 4K. Control and other games let you do this.
hmm barely noticeable with youtube
Trash on PS5. I was looking forward to the update but I said the upgrade ruined 60fps then there's literally no point.
60fps > graphics, any day of the week.
Just an FYI. It doesnt only affect the ui buttons. It also affects the map and mini map. And i have to say, its fucking phenomenal. It actually makes the mini map so much more usable. Lol
Neat feature kind of excessive but whatever
It looks exactly the same to me…nothing masive…masive would be to have actual textures that are not from 10 years ago and are actually 4k…it looked exactly the same for me and i have been playing this game in 4k since i started 2.5 years ago.
the change is 100% there and it looks better for sure. i do think that people with high-end monitors are the ones that benefit the most.
I honestly turned it off and went back to my HD mods. They were hands over first better than what SE put out. Then again they are like double the file size.
Why does your res show 1024 / 721 if your running 4k native?
I really hope things get better for ps5 after the beta period is over.
This 30fps (often looks less) for 4k mode is really disappointing 🤢
Framerate is terrible in 4k mode
So its just the ui? Why not all the textures? I would pay for all texture update
If you put this video in fullscreen with 4k quality setting selected, you can see the difference much more clearly. I have QHD monitors but I can see the difference. With it in a little standard play window it's much more difficult to really see the difference.
Did not know about this.
Why do dudes play naked chicks all the time lmao. Shits kinda gay
The icons and interface, the windows and the texts, omg, they all looks amazing on my old pc yes! Feels like the game got face lifted.
Now they only need to add that option for World/Armor textures in the game an we're golden.
I cannot believe the difference on my PC! It literally feels like a brand new game almost! Night and day difference and it’s only going to get better! Great job FFXIV 💜👏💜👏
What are the gloves that Meoni's character is wearing?
Great video love your content. I have been playing on the PS5 version and it doesn't seem to have the same UI resolution option. There is screen res (HD, QHD, and 4k) and UI Size (100, 150 HD, 200 QHD, 300 4k).
It messes up my UI and my character/ NPC nameplates etc. I had to remove my nameplate.
I used QHD and 200%, 4k just seems to have FP issues. But the UI size is the problem.
Does anyone know of a fix, or if the PC option is coming? Running at 100% is definitely not 4k.
i Hope FF14 in general get some graphical improvements when ps4 version gets abandoned. Some stuff is pretty annoying that came with eureka in SB bcs consoles basically exploded.. I mean i did new content and so many people there.. kinda hart to find quest NPC bcs it is like 0.01m away from you everything disappears.
It's a huge difference to me. The buttons and texts are super clean. It makes me re-look at UI icons and texts of other MMO's and by far this is the cleanest.
I have a 4k tv with a pc connected this is very cool
Why disable viewer interactions?
Very helpful video with great effects for comparison 😍.
I am using a 2560×1080 ultra-wide monitor but still want to enable this 4K UI Resolution setting (note: if GPU is strong enough you can use it without a 4K monitor).
do i need a 4k monitor to take advantage of this or will it also prove helpfull on a Full HD screen?
I liked the 4K resolution on PS5, but the framerate seemed to janky.
have to zoom in to really see it.
I've had high-res icons for a while by using mods, but it was a pain to reinstall the mods after each update. It took 1-2 hours to install each time. This new 4K UI will help get me to start playing the game again.
I just learned about this, and I haven't played the game since this update. But I think I will now. This just confirms my assumption that all Japanese developers develop their game first for consoles, and then port to PC with minimum as possible work. There's no reason why PC players couldn't have had this better UI the entire time.
Glad I saw this. I was really disliking the UI – so blurry and ugly. This really made me appreciate the effort they put into these icons.
this was a game changer for my ui at 3440×1440
What I'd really like to see is removal of instanced segments. I'd love to see one seamless map like WoW has it. I just find it kind of ridiculous that we are in 2021 and they still didn't update their engine away from PS3 and break those sharded instanced segments.
I mean sure on my PC and PS5 it loads after a second or so but it is still annoying to see the damn loading screen. just update the engine and the servers already.
Oh I also hope they work on the optimizations and fidelity of the engine soon. Though they mentioned they will progressively update textures of the game in waves.
How did you get the name plates so much smaller!?
Thank you I didn’t know to change my settings the game looks so much better now!
That is really cool, but what the game really needs is built-in ReShade. Just look at what people have done. Shaders can give depth and sharpness and perfect colors to the game and make it look 10 times more modern. Why the hell doesn't Square implement shaders for the ultra graphics settings? Why do we still, years later, resort to third party shaders to make the game look good?
is there a way to make the chat box larger?
i have question tho i gone 4k in my 1080 p so i put all my HuD at 60 % so it's Great but The name text still lil to big so is there way to fix it
Just came back to FF14 and went to DL the HQ Icons only to see the mod had been discontinued. Couldn't figure out at first how to get the 4K icons because I was mucking around on the wrong page with UI settings. Thanks for making this video.
I did the 4k switch and for the next hour, I DC 3 three times. switch it back to HD and played the rest of the day without any issues. 🙁
