8800 GTX with FFXi

Now, first all I am not having no problems. Well. Sorts, for me it is.

I have read everywhere the PC version of the game is far better looking graphics wise on the PC.
But the thing is, I have no bloody clue how to make it better! I am using the 8800 GTX, and the game looks not much better then a PSOne game.
Anyone who plays this on the PC know exactly how to edit the game to make it look better?
Also, my res is 1680x1050. I have it set here, and I thought I had all the settings to the max, but I have to be missing something. As I say, horrible graphics for a game release for PC/PS2 in 02

wherever you changed the resolution for the game there should be an advanced tab or something. I havent played the game but thats the normal way they are layed out. Also, you have to remember that it is an online game and they tend to not look spectacular.

Go to the nvidia control panel and go to manage 3d settings. Go to the global settings, and turn up all the settings as much as possible, the ones you'll be looking for specifically is Anisotropic filtering, Antialiasing settings and Antialiasing transparency; you'll want to set Anisotropic filtering and Antialiasing settings to the maximum amount supported by your video card; and Antialiasing transparency to Supersampling. If you already have all the other settings at max, this in all you can do to improve image quality. Please remember that this game was made in 2002, so it has it's limits with image quality; the game engine can only support a certain amount of features image-wise, newer games will contain more features, and will have better image quality, I think you're at the limits of the game, and you're not likely to improve the image quality much more.
