Dawntrail Graphics Update - Eye Strain

[Wind-Krysvein]

Welp, I'll be damned. I almost missed this little bit from Yoshi-P's latest post:

It has been a joy to watch you all play, each in your own unique way, but we’ve become aware of several issues that may have proven a hinderance to your overall experience. For that, I sincerely apologize. We’ve already announced on the Lodestone that a number of these issues are presently under investigation, but rest assured we will be doing everything in our power to address them as quickly as possible. You can expect a follow-up announcement as soon as fixes are ready for implementation.

I'm probably just becoming delusional, but is this what I think it might be? It's impossible to tell due to his almost politician-level vague manner of speech, but with any luck this is proof that the devs might actually be working on a solution. Here's hoping.

If you haven't sent a support ticket about this eye strain issue yet, please do so at your earliest convenience. The more people we get to voice their problems, the more manpower they'll (hopefully) assign to deal with the issue.

What was that a post from? I haven't really looked at the Lodestone in a couple days. The only reference to any issues mentioned by him in the past week that I could find was from this post there back on the 30th: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...8406d28f47a951

Sorry to be a pessimist, but it doesn't seem that he is referring to the graphics issues we've been facing and talking about. The only graphical issue I saw being mentioned was:

"We have identified an issue that affects aspects of certain playable races during the execution of certain emotes and the scholar action, Seraphism. The cause is a result of incorrect values being input for the corresponding parts during fine-tuning of the graphical update and other fixes."

Maybe I missed something. Honestly, I really hope I did, because it seems like the issues that have been brought up in this thread so far have flown completely under the radar. I'd be surprised if we ever even get a fix since it seems like we might be in the minority at this point. Maybe not though.

Either way, we can still hope!

Although initially addressing housing interior brightness, it goes on to explain some of the problems about lighting in general. It might, er, shed some light on some issues we've been experiencing in this thread, and the proposed fix may help some of us here. In short, there is indeed a cause for some hope here.
