[Suggestion] Dim the lights...

[BadJoeRed]

I wouldn't mind seeing some ULTRA DARK CAVES later in the game, where all you can see is whatever light is shed by the lantern/lightspell you carry. But I don't really see them changing existing areas, nor feel it is necessary.

a point for lanternshield!!

I read about the light spells and my train of thought went straight to the move Flash in Pokemon lol! It could just be the brightness on my screen but I find that at night the Black Shroud to be pretty dark, at least compared to Limsa, so atm I'm kinda against making things darker :/

[Jagermeister]

i agree, the dark areas like caves, mines, & jungle should be slightly darker with slightly more light maybe added to other areas of the environment. i also like your "Light" spell idea.

I actually think night on Ul'dah is waaaay too bright :S
It doesn't even look like night.

It should be very hard to see in places where there's no light with only a slight moonlight

I like the potential of this idea, but if you think about it, it would put too much emphasis on night vs day. Groups, events and such would focus too much on whether it's night or day. Time of the day would define the game, just like the rifts in Rift defines that game.

But the thing is, there should really be nocturnal creatures and diurnal creatures, or at least some difference lol The day night cycle by itself is a good feature, but it should affect the game in some way.
I'd like to see the bats come out from the caves at night. Packs of wolves hunting. Ahrimen too Those kind of things.

I think suicidal exploding Cactuars should come out at night.

lol they do look like creepers

+1

The overall brightness of the game looks fine to me.

Except at night, when everything is painted gray. FFXI looked the same..

[Chezen]

I have poor eye-sight. When the game first launched, night time would hurt my eyes. I don't know for sure if the brightness was ajusted, but I have had less problems lately.

So, I appologize, but no, I wouldn't want it made darker. Personal lighting ajustments in the menu would be preferable.

Agreed, obviously
