Dawntrail Graphics Update - Eye Strain

[DynnDiablos]

The main thing I need them to correct is the horrific motion blur they implemented with the 7.0 update that didn't exist before. They have the same issues in FF7 Rebirth and FFXVI as I mentioned previously. The camera turns and ghosting is just atrocious.

Wet surfaces make me sad.

Mind you, I turned off my dimming setting so I can see what it looks like for others. It was a bad idea. This is probably minor for some. With better graphics, wet surfaces have an even stronger reflective sheen than what you see here.

Right?? I still don't understand why they decided to remove the on/off options for wet surface effects. They made the rain shinier too and most surfaces look plastic when it rains because of it.
So many bad decisions in this so-called graphics "update"... I've been calling it graphics downgrade, lol.

Wet surfaces also reflect light sources that don't exist in several places, or reflect light sources on the other side of terrain and structures.

There are some questionable things they did. I guess since most of SQE games are now on the realistic side they thought to try and bring FFXIV up to that standard. But it just clashes with the style. Details look really good when isolated, but seeing the big picture makes it look like they were trying to make a whole different game.

And it doubles the problem for me. When it rains, I can't look at my character. Instead, I look way above her to the sky because the reflected lights physically hurt my eyes. Even rocks are extra shiny now when wet. Like why? The only other time this was a problem was with spells... and well, you can turn those off...

Everyone is really touching on the stuff that's driving me out of my mind.. bump

Back to the front page, my dear thread! **BUMP!!**

Yak T'el would be one of the coolest new zones in the game IF I COULD TURN OFF BLOOM. The "fog" around light sources is nausiating. I hate gathering mats in this area because I get dizzy in minutes.

This forest is so beautiful, it reminds me of the Argonea area in TERA. Minus the alien egg pods and cyberwires... But yes, the bright blue wood flower things and fog on top of it isn't great for me eyes. It's a shame because I like the atmosphere and music of the place.

Bump bump bump for visibility (hah)
