    That's how baking works, for example the image below shows the lighting (lightbounces), shading, shadows, ambient occlusion shading and any light bleeding/influences on surface materials;



    Essentially what it does is it bakes the lighting onto the 3D object then applys it as a texture (on top of whatever is marked as static). To lower the rendering cost you can mix baked lighting with real-time lighting to achieve a nice effect (however FFXIV might not have done this)

    But it looks like a low quality light bake that's been left applied to that texture.
