I love the dawn mist look but honestly when it gets really dark I tend to adjust my monitor brightness which is obviously not how a well lit videogame is supposed to work.

I think they should make the "night" effect with a blueish lighting and less darkness because in Gridania it can get really depressing at times.

I don't mean the hauntingly beautiful XI-style depressing more like XIV-I can't see sh** -type of feeling.

I don't know why so many modern games do this. For example in every Fable game the night-brightness is near unplayable but when I play a game like FF VII-X the night scenes were always art directed in a way that didn't step on gameplay.
