So, basically, I can thank the PS5 for finally giving me an excuse to jump into all the surely weird and wonderful side quests that Final Fantasy XIV has to offer, and it all came down to scaling the UI for the resolution I play the game at.
#Final fantasy xiv pc Patch
I skipped so many side stories, and even bits of the main story that I have had friends rave to me about, just because it's so uncomfortable to read such a tiny text box for such a long period of time.īut thankfully, because this patch is basically the end of Shadowbringers, all of the raid content has been added to the New Game Plus mode, so I can replay all of it in comfort, finally. Just look at the picture above! That's what I had to deal with when doing these hour-long cutscene sprees just to unlock the latest raid. I bet you can't read this without making the image bigger. One of the things I love most about this change, though, is how much better cutscenes look now that the text is nice and smooth. It does wonders for the game's presentation, though, especially as new players start to come in as the game gets ready for the launch of its next expansion, Endwalker, later in 2021. It's just a nice little quality of life change for those of us that are playing on a high-resolution monitor. It's not like Final Fantasy XIV's UI was illegible or anything before this update, and it's not like this is the thing that was stopping Final Fantasy XIV users on PC from downing Eden's Verse on Savage difficulty. Why does this matter?Īt the end of the day, this is a pretty minor change on PC. And with an MMORPG, where the UI is way more actively engaged with than most other types of PC games, getting it just right is super important.

So much better (Image credit: Square Enix)ĭespite the fact that the game still doesn't support mods on PC (at least officially), there are still a ton of different ways to change the way the game looks.
