Dawntrail Graphics Update - Eye Strain

[gllt]

14 just keeps me in suspense but less because of the story or gameplay and more because I never know if I'll get to play it, I really never expected graphics changes that would impair my ability to play, but I was already concerned about moving countries, losing access to my steam one day, or having to move to console and not being able to use my preferred controller on PC anymore..

This game is so hard to enjoy sometimes lol

Square I already struggled through buying this mess and several expansions and years of game time, please just fix.. something

Please... I'm just want to play in the gold saucer... It's worse than a real casino now and it was already one of the places I could never stand with glare on

FFXIV please take the plastic wrap off the update it's too shiny

*BUMP* I can't really play without getting a migraine, and I'm photosensitive enough, SE. Please provide the graphics options on sliding scales with the ability to turn select settings, such as bloom and any motion blurring, off entirely!

That reminds me, I was actually shocked when I 1st went to the Gold Saucer in DT. I used to play with glare (aka bloom) turned OFF but now I can't do that anymore... So I loaded in and was instantly blinded by this crap. Does anyone actually think this bright and blurry mess looks good!? :| Yikes.

It's so much. I played some roulettes this morning and Praetorium is just... Absurdly blue and glowy

Bump time, people are realizing this game has a VFX issue

Hi, I don't usually use forums so please excuse any mistakes.

I'm suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum, which i'm obviously not gonna blame on ffxiv but... ffxiv is consistently the only game i cannot play anymore due to it making the nausea way way worse. i've had this condition in the past and was able to continue playing, and I don't think its a coincidence that I was very violently sick in the garish 97 dungeon.

I really miss playing ffxiv, so some tweaks/toggles to make the graphics less overwhelming would be very nice.

My sympathies to everyone else in this thread, I hope you are heard !!

This this, I used to go to Gould Saucer when overwhelmed or just wanting to chill out, this is how lights look to me when I take off my glasses and I don't appreciate it :')

Happened to catch a link to this post from the JPN forums on Twitter. Here's a machine translation of it:

Thank you for all of your feedback regarding the graphics update.
The development team is reviewing each and every case, including bug reports outside of this thread and comments made outside of the forums.

We are currently considering how to respond based on the feedback you have received,
and in parallel are making preparations to provide details, including specific responses.

It will take a little while, but we appreciate your patience.

I don't know if this means anything for us and am disappointed we haven't heard anything in this part of the forums about it, but please continue spreading the word and sharing your experiences.
