Seconded. Modding isn't necessarily about doing the developer's job for them. For example, why should Obsidian spend hours upon hours creating a super-high res texture pack that requires 2 GB of video RAM when the consoles at the time of New Vegas' launch had at most 400 MB to spare for textures, and almost no gaming PC had more than 1 GB VRAM?
In 2015 however, lots of people have 2 GB VRAM or even more, so some modders created extra texture packs for those who want to revisit this game with a much stronger PC than it was made for.
And while I don't actually agree with the people who mod skyrim to be full of kawaii animu maids with extremely revealing outfits, or make the prostitutes in the game look like 1990s porn stars with bleached hair and balloon boobs, I'm sure this adds some sort of value to the game for those who opt to use such mods. At the same time, I think we should all be very, very glad that Bethesda didn't put such things in the game themselves.
And on a side note, I doubt that you'll need a video card that costs as much as a PS4 to play FF15, and definitely not if you build the PC much later this year. My GTX 570 could run Fallout 4 better than PS4 does, and that's a 3 year old card. A 950 would probably do the job, and the next generation from nVidia that comes out this year would probably do the same job for even less money than a 950 costs today. I now use a second hand GTX 770 that i got for 150 bucks some time ago. It plays any current multiplatform release at much better image quality and framerate than my PS4 can manage, and i fully expect it to do so with FF15 as well, should the game get a Steam release.
The power consumption point is mostly an enormous exaggeration. The extra power consumed by your PC when you're gaming with a new video card is going to equal two extra "old school" lightbulbs being switched on while you play the game, and only one of them running at half power when you're not gaming. But I guess if your household uses an average of 200 watts over a day, then maybe you'd notice a sharp increase in consumption.
This is of course assuming that you live in a climate that is warm enough not to need energy for heating any time of the year. Nearly all the energy consumed by any electronic device is converted into heat, which is something you in many areas of the world are going to need in the winter anyway.
The first $49.99 game you get on Steam that costs $59.99 on PS4 makes up for probably half a year of electricity for your new video card.
