And bump again. Haven't checked the latest patch if they changed anything (I assume not) but I also dont feel like logging in, especially with this stalker incident recently.

There is a permanent blur filter on the game if you set resolution scaling to 100. Or a sharpening filter below 100.

I had the same issue but it was resolved after switching the AA option to FXAA. Which AA are you using?

Making use of these free login days by bumping the thread.

To reduce eyestrain and headaches, we'd need the following settings and/or changes to all platforms (PC, Mac, PS4/5 and Xbox):

- allow the players to reduce and completely remove the bloom/glow effects
- reduce the flashiness and brightness of enemies' attacks and field effects in battles
- reduce the flashiness and brightness of players' attacks (own, party, and alliance) when battle effects are set to any of the three settings (Full, Limited, None)
- allow players to turn off the new wind effects when using flying mounts

These changes would allow us to play the game again without eyestrain and headaches.

Re-upped my FFXIV sub because I was disappointed to keep missing event items and emotes on the chance that things get fixed and I can play properly again. After all the months unsubbed it's still so painful to see the new graphics, I feel sick just looking at them.

I'm also still having terrible eyestrain and headaches from playing more than 20-30 minutes, and now I'm getting motion sick too, even turning off all the tilt nonsense. So I suppose I have a subscription to keeping this thread up. I'm pretty sure they'll keep ignoring the accessibility issues they've created at this point, but here we go back to the first page.
