I watched a comparison of a cutscene of before and after the graphics update, and the new lighting really ruins the scene. The shadows are much lighter or nonexistent seemingly non existent.

The table seems less detailed.



I noticed that night time and dark areas in ARR zones don't feel as dark as they used to either. This is a good video comparing a lot of old areas before and after https://youtu.be/2aUOQeVF7EU?si=JNA_qtPohD9rgW0h



The glow effects from some objects like the crystals at Urth's Fount also look worse.



The graphics update hurt the art direction of some of the old content, imo.

Probably my biggest issue with this update right after how poorly player characters were handled. Art direction across the board is just in shambles.

Like what is this? Lmao

DT lighting really is terrible. Once again, first benchmark was way better...
