If the lighting engine was BROKEN in those zones, which was the case in the case of some models), then no amount of "have you tried XYZ" was going to fix it.

For the character models where we did...

This post: Exists.

Actual people from India: Have expressed thanks for including their culture in a Final Fantasy game.

Same goes for upcoming Dawntrail.

Not every fantasy game has to be...

Based on Yoshi P's letter, some of the issues are either 1. non issues that are already fixed in the game as it will be released (but didn't get fixed in the benchmark zones, which was a failure on...

You can play up to level 70 FOR FREE so.....

The thing is, I noted that stuff like eye-shines, hair shine, and lip shine worked in aetherial sea, but didn't work that well in the outside zones, which matches pretty much what Yoshi P said about...

ITS CURSED, CURSED I TELL YOU

Some people are very happy with the body sliders - that they can have a representation of themselves for real in PoGo now. But between 50-75% of people are unhappy...

After seeing what they did to us in Pokemon Go, I'd rather they err on the side of not changing this. THEY BROKE US. THEY DELETED WOMEN IN POKEMON GO.

The lighting not being properly fixed in the benchmark explains why the three starter zones had duller highlights than the aetherial sea stuff, which had all the proper highlights on some of my...

If y'all want to see an actual bad graphics update, look at what Pokemon Go just did to its female character models. They now have the male body + boobs. It looks so awful. THEY WERE FINE. WHY....

I made tweaks to my characters and now I'm happy with all six of the main models I use for my RP alts, plus my main character. The hardest one to tweak quite right was the Lalafell, but a lot of...

A lot of the complaints I've seen regarding lighting, shadows, skin tones, and textures are taking screenshots to compare apples to apples with the old engine and new engine using a FACE ON view in...

It was time. The graphics were definitely starting to show their age, and most people have PCs that can handle the improvements to the lighting engine. They learned a lot with XVI, too.

Another suggestion for everyone: Please remember to use the UNIQUE animation when previewing your character, and snap a few screenshots with the different patterns of shadows and light. The sparkle...

I really, really, really wish we had better control of the lighting in the benchmark. I found once I swapped over from the static standing pose and over to the "unique" pose and got real movement in...

It was this. Our PCs today could have handled it, but in 2010 they could not. The same computer that had been running FFXI without any problems choked and died on 1.0, and it only became playable...

To get the most apples to apples comparison, I fired up my old Endwalker benchmark.

( Tumblr maybe won't let this work but I'll try..... )

They actually will stay up for a lot longer if people didn't pull early!

Also you can open them up at any time from the Duty window once they closed.

That said, I agree with these points:

Yeah, same. We have to hold the hand of our clients whenever they do a version upgrade for this exact reason. We can only auto-magic so much of it - some of the new settings we can make a...

That's a great catch. I think a lot of us are going to have to be tweaking our settings with 7.0 to adjust for the new reality of what the lighting engine does. Monitors themselves also offer some...

On the posts where the critiques are ones that I can 100% see as an issue, I'm adding in +1. Quite a few of the problems are things I hope can be fixed in QA before 7.0 is released - the meshes on...

Another +1 for moonkeeper fangs! It's why we roll Moonkeeper, we want big round kitty eyes and sharp pointy teefs!~

She did have dimples. You just never saw them before because there was no light scattering coming from a bottom light point before, so they were never seen except as extra shadows on the mouth. The...

Right? 1.0 player as well. I couldn't quite get my 1.0 Lalafell to look like my FFXI Tarurutaru. I couldn't get my 2.0 version to look like the 1.0 version. And now I can't get the 7.0 version...

Bring it back! It was an integral part of the way I thought of my Grandma character looking and she doesn't feel quite the same without it.

I've been reviewing some of the complaints and messing around in the character creator on my beefy beefy system running at maximum. Here's my thoughts on some of the issues noted in this thread:
