PSA: Final MSQ Zone [SPOILERS for Ending of Dawntrail]
So, I am not a fan of how the final zone looks after completing the MSQ - it's desolate and depressing to me... I don't like going into that zone, but can't avoid it (FATE leveling, gathering nodes, etc). I get the reasoning with the story and all on why it ends up looking the way it does, but it doesn't help my state of mind going in there.
A discovery has been made on how to restore all the pretty lights in Living Memory before the MSQ for DT ends: New Game+. If you put your game into New Game+ mode, the zone aesthetics reset to show all the pretty stuff again.
Just make sure you exit out of it after you've left that zone as you cannot use retainers, gemstone vendors, Solution Nine tome vendor, and various other restrictions with New Game+ mode. It gets a bit tedious swapping back and forth, but hey, beggars can't be choosers.
Please note: I did not think of this on my own - I was watching MrHappy's stream where he did this, so credit goes to him and how he came across it. I'm just sharing this information for anyone who is like me and wants the lights turned back on.
Thank you for your time!
