Thanks for doing the report. A couple of things need to be changed (the report template follows a "unsupported until proven supported" format).

==Supported resolutions==
This needs to list the following resolutions as either "untested" or "unsupported."
1280x720, 1280x768, 1280x800, 1440x900, 1920x1080, 1920x1200


==Aspect Ratio support==
This section needs screenshots that compare 16:9 with 16:10. I recommend 1600x900 and 1680x1050.


==HUD Stretch==
You need screenshots that demonstrate the HUD scales correctly. The screenshots provided only show that the word "Moogle" stretches, which is indicative of a stretched HUD.


==Cut-scenes==
Can you provide screenshots that show the cut-scenes in 4:3 and 16:10?


==Grading==
It's not certified yet, and unless the HUD is actually scaled correctly, it will get a B+ at max. Also, what you listed under "Minor unresolved issue" is a design flaw unrelated to widescreen, not an "unresolved issue." Here's what the section should look like.

Calculated grade: C+
Potential grade: B+

Major unresolved issues:
Does the game support 1280x720, 1280x768, or 1920x1080?
What does 16:9 look like compared to 16:10?

Minor unresolved issues:
Does the game support 1280x800, 1440x900, and 1920x1200?
What do the cut-scenes look like in 16:10 compared to 4:3?

I have made some of the changes you mentioned. I will get some screenshots this week to demonstrate a few of the categories.

I have noticed that the correct aspect ratios are not supported on the character select screen. It only applies when you are actually in the game world. Most likely a bug that I highly doubt will ever be fixed.

Also, 5:4 aspect ratio is not supported.

I noticed that on the char select screen as well.

EDIT: thanks to The_cranky_hermit for the input and changes. Updates will come in the next couple of days as mentioned for a full report.


I play it at 2048x1280, and have it scale down to 1920x1200... adds an extra appearance of "anti-aliasing."

But both of those resolutions work in FFXI =)

in game cut scenes are hor+
and the game will run any res you can get at in windows if your card/monitor supports it

the game as options to adjust for 16:9 but you have to set it by hand once in the game

the toon select screen is streched in 16:9 and 16:10 since aspect changes do not take effect till you get fully logged in

Can you provide screenshots for those things?
And can you list the widescreen resolutions you have successfully tested?
