Welcome to the Light-Post

Well, the graphics are going to change slightly with the new engine. So things like lighting and shadows are going to be different.

kewl, cant wait dto see some ore of the finer details. in the grand scheme of things i know this is even lower on the priorities than the kick function for the LS system. i'm content to wait as long as i know they are aware of this.

Just wanted to bump this post.

I had taken a hiatus when they introduced the fees because at that time i didnt feel there was anything worth paying for. I still had crysta that i could not refund and wanted to use it sparingly when big patches (like 1.21) come out. First i want to say i'm really happy with the way things are going right now. I am really enjoying myself and i actually want to play the game now, but there is still the same issues i had in the OP that are restricting my play. unless i can find a windowless dark hole to put my computer into i have a huge difficulty trying to play during daylight hours. It's only a really big issue when i am in dark areas of the game which is quite a lot. Please add in a brightness/contrast slider or give the CON a light spell that floats an orb over their head to light the surrounding area? I would really like a DEV to take note of this and comment, even if it is just to tell me "too bad, so sad."

I'm pretty sure they are aware of this. I remember also reading that they would be adding more graphic options at a later date (I'm assuming when 2.0 is released with the new graphics client/engine). All I can say is just be patient.

Patience... ya ya how long till i learn patience? lol. Thanks for the reassurance, i guess i will have to save the rest of my crysta for 2.0 then. I really like what they have done so far and i have always seen great potential for this game. I'm glad its not just me who noticed the lack of visibility at night. i still think a light spell would be the best way to go, or just install some halogen headlights in my chocobo.
