Final Fantasy 14's new 7.0 graphics update transforms PC, PS5 and Series X
Final Fantasy 14's 7.0 graphics update is here - so how does the game look on PC, PS5 and Series X/S?
Watch on YouTube GTAO is clearly the game's most comprehensive AO mode to date, but it's still a screen space technique - so the wider reach of the effect opens up more opportunities for noticeable occlusion artefacts. Whether some of the worse-looking textures are transitional assets that will be replaced with more carefully crafted alternatives in the future remains to be seen, but on the whole, the upgrades are appreciated, akin to the differences you might expect from early work-in-progress screenshots to a finished, polished game. Minor differences in AF, AA and an extra AO setting are about all that separates them from PC, other than performance potential of course, and that makes playing on the more powerful current-gen consoles a joy.
