Hey. A colorspace is a model for describing colors. I'm here to report my suspicion that the PC version of the game outputs colors in the "Rec.709" colorspace, which is typical for consoles and is a video signal meant for televisions, instead of "sRGB", which is the standard for PC monitors. Rec.709 images will look washed out when displayed as sRGB. To showcase this difference I've gathered some varied screenshots and applied a colorspace transform to them that changes them from the Rec.709 colorspace to sRGB, with no other changes.
Linked is an album to see the before and after:
https://imgur.com/a/BopDYdU
Alternative album link with a comparison video:
https://drive.proton.me/urls/G6NDM1Y9MW#EuVHvQb3NOl2
Download the images or click to preview in-browser. I suggest opening the image files in a new tab to remove any web user interface and to more easily switch between the images to see the difference. If individually flipping through the images is too inconvenient, downloading the comparison video is another way to view them.
I do not have a console that plays FFXIV, so I can not say for sure that the PC version outputs in the same colorspace as the console versions of the game. I am only reporting this based on a suspicion. The only thing I have to go on is that Twitch, the online streaming platform, doesn't do any colorspace conversion, and Twitch streams of the game look identical to me between console and PC.
Thank you for your time.
