Well, I have blurring issues despite not using TSCMAA.

switch to fsr and set the scaling to 100. that will fix it

Live I've said before, that one gives me stuttering/vibrating which is even worse than the blur.

Sub-100 turns on sharpening, actually. 100 is noticeably blurrier, at least for most users (though less blurry than DLSS). Even with sharpening turned on, though, it still doesn't eliminate blurring when the camera or objects are in motion, and no, turning off radial/motion blur doesn't affect that either.

This fixes nothing. I tried FSR 100 with no AA, with FXAA, FSR 99 with FXAA and no AA. No matter which setting I get a massive headache and some places hurt to look at (e.g. final area) due to the blur when moving, aside from that flashbang glare. Not everyone can deal with the blur, no blur, blur, no blur changes just because you're walking a few yalms. And don't get me started on that wonly heat effect in the first city. If it fixes it for you, that's great, really. But it's not a universal fix for everyone sadly. I had to stop playing yesterday because of the last area causing actual pain in my eyes. I later forced myself to get through the rest of the MSQ and had to skip myself through it because even the cutscenes were too much for me to look at in this area. However forcing myself through it was a pretty bad idea, I have horrible headache today and my right eye hurts like crazy. I've never had any of these issues before the update nor did I ever run into any issues with any other game so it's pretty safe to say that it is caused by the update. And I have tried a lot of different settings already, even adding sharpness and stuff via the nvidia overlay but it doesn't help. As of now FFXIV is not playable for some of us who were able to play it just fine before the update.
Like I mentioned in a post earlier, before the update I could easily play 8h+ without problems, now I can play max 1-2h, if even depending on the area.

Exactly! I actually like a slight constant blur, like you get with DLSS when you stand still. But that's different from motion blur, and because they've made motion blur mandatory everything gets super blurry only when you move and that gives me nausea. FXAA is less blurry overall with the right settings but it still has the motion blur, and with those settings it looks too sharp and has too much blurring at the same time.

All I want is a motion blur toggle. And it would be nice if my own abilities didn't blind me, some of them are a bit too bright now post-update.
