| Final Fantasy 14 Offers More Details on Graphical Update |
Final Fantasy 14 is set to undergo a major transformation with the launch of the Dawntrail expansion in the summer of 2024. This anticipated update promises a stunning graphical overhaul, but it's important to note that these improvements are still a work in progress, subject to change as the development team fine-tunes the experience based on player feedback.
Initial reactions from fans regarding the Dawntrail graphics update have been overwhelmingly positive. This positive response has prompted Square Enix to further enhance the game based on player suggestions, with particular attention to subtle changes in character models, including adjustments to the eyes and facial features.
For PC players looking to experience Dawntrail at its best, Square Enix recommends upgrading to Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 Super or AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT (or newer) graphics cards. The company is committed to continuously refining the graphics and incorporating player feedback to ensure an optimal gaming experience.
During the London Fan Fest panel, Final Fantasy 14 enthusiasts were treated to another glimpse of the graphical update that awaits when Dawntrail launches in 2024. While this graphical revamp marks the first major update in over a decade, the development team stresses that the changes showcased are still subject to further refinement before the expansion's release.
In July 2023, attendees of the Las Vegas Fan Fest and online stream viewers got their first look at Dawntrail, including a preview of the graphical improvements. Though these visuals are not final, they received a warm reception from the Final Fantasy 14 community. Since then, Square Enix has taken initial feedback into account and shared the progress made with fans.
At the 2023 London Fan Fest, Square Enix unveiled additional refinements made to the Dawntrail graphics update. While these changes were subtle, they focused on player character models, particularly the eyes of the Hyur, Miqo'te, and Au Ra. Feedback led to adjustments such as more subdued hues for Au Ra horns and limbal rings, as well as slightly stretched facial features for the Miqo'te. Other details, such as Elezen ears, Hrothgar fur, and the Viper Job's armor, were also showcased. This presentation included a closer look at the Viper's leather jacket and hood, both of which players can obtain in Dawntrail.
Square Enix reiterated the importance of upgrading graphics cards for PC players to Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 Super, AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT, or newer for an optimal Dawntrail experience. The response on social media was overwhelmingly positive, and Square Enix affirms its commitment to refining player character models based on player input.
With the forthcoming graphical update and a renewed focus on group content in comparison to Endwalker, Dawntrail promises to be an exciting new chapter for both current and returning Final Fantasy 14 players. Only time will reveal if it lives up to the high expectations.
Final Fantasy 14 is currently available for PC, PS4, and PS5, with an Xbox Series X/S version slated for release in Spring 2024.
