Bro that 99 3D scaling is a gamechanger!! It removes that weird softening filter completely

@MedievalMarty

yesss! glad you've noticed it difference. I found it a lot better, glad you do too :)

@TheVivi13

3 күн бұрын

Fun fact, there isn't a "softening filter". That's just the normal game graphics. The reason that putting it to 99 makes it so sharp is because changing the setting to anything below 100 causes FSR to "activate", and FSR itself comes with a sharpening filter. The downside to this is having FSR "active" causes a bit of a performance load, as well as some buggy graphics in some specific places. An alternative is keeping it at 100 and applying some sort of external sharpening like with Reshade or the Alt+Z Nvidia filter. That being said these kinds of settings affect everyone differently so it's probably fine to stay at 99.

Wow yeah i tried it too. I'm one of those who spend five million hours in Group Pose, and i was sure it would do nothing trully noticable. But no... it looks so clean at 99... kinda hurts to go back to 100, now...

Doesn't seem you have that option on ps5 though?

another cool thing with fantasia now, you have 1 hour in game grace period to re-adjust your character for free after a use, maybe in case to edit minor changes you forget/don't like, like voice usually.

I was going nuts tryna figure out where the “make people disappear when near quest npc” option was and this cleared it up for me. Thank you.

Small creators sometime give the best information. Ty sir.

fyi if you go to a calamity salvager they have an option “exchange spectacles” where they give you facewear versions of glasses head gear you’ve previously obtained.

If you have an RTX card, just use the nvidia overlay to add a sharpness filter. It's the best the game can look without relying on a reshade, and without the need for FSR downscaling.

Same, though I also use it to darken the shadows a bit. The only problem is sometimes the overlay settings just disappear and I have to reset them.

All great tips, nice one 👍

Thanks for the heads up on the resolution scaling! That's great to know.

If you're the kind of person who stands too close to NPCs; may you never roll higher than a 1 for loot, may all your parties end in a vote for surrender, may you never win a housing lottery, may you always fail at cacpot and minicacpot, may a Ufiti always follow you and fling it's dung at you, may your free company drift apart, may you never get more than 1 line in WT, may lalafells spam emote you in your dreams, may your taco always spill its contents out of the shell as you take a bite, and above all, may your favorite NPC perish canonically within the plot.

I would add something if you use NVIDIA DLSS. The setting below called "Frame Rate Threshold", put it at "Below 60 fps" or "Below 30 fps". Never "Always enabled". Because it will try to reach the highest possible FPS your screen can do and it will lower your graphics settings to reach it. If your game doesnt look as good as you thought it would or the Anti-Aliasing doesnt seem to do much. Try this. I essentially played without Anti-Aliasing during launch because every time I entered a cutscene it removed it and I only got it back if I turned DLSS off and on again. Just realised today that it was the Frame Rate Threshold doing it. Got it on 60 FPS now and I finally can experience the new AA.

If you don't want to hide players gathering around a quest giver, you can use num lock 0 (default setting I believe) to target closest npc, this will select the quest giver if you're close enough. I use this also when navigating menus. Num lock 0 to target npc, and you can even use num lock 4,8,6,2 too navigate menus of merchants and num lock 0 to confirm if you feel super lazy and don't wanna use a mouse.

Happy it helped :D

i'd say 1 hidden tip as the 99 3d scaling isn't on the patch notes the rest is all there, just read... hidden feature that everyone should know is holding X on your keyboard will stop all player interactions no matter how many are on top of a npc, chest, anything, and you can click in it no problem.

An alternative to sharpening for Nvidia users: Geforce Experience ALT+F3 game filters. Set the Sharpen (NOT Sharpen+) to 100 on both sliders. Want it a bit crispier? Decrease the "ignore film grain" option. This way you get the superior DLSS, with the added sharpness, without any performance loss. If you want to really up performance, however, you can go to nexus mods and get the DLSS/FSR/XESS mod for FFXIV. You can select presets, like any other game with the mod.

Is the mount leaning when you turning working for other people? It worked the first day for me and I loved it but when I logged out for sleep and then got back on it was gone… I’m on PS5 and I’ve seen some comments from other PS5 users having the same problem.

So excited for this now!

The setting to hide the other players around the Quest givers is top drawer!

If there was ever a piece of armor that they should double-dye at some point, it's the Uraeus Coat. That thing just looks so good on EVERYTHING.

I really want them to make the Shisui Joi items dyeable at all. And other currently non-dyeable items. Though I suspect they won't because they paywalled the dyeable versions which was pretty greedy of them. But it would be super nice if they did.

Saving this video for future reference 😅

The calamity salvager will only unlock the facewear slot if you already had glasses in your fashion accessories. Because it's actually obtaining a piece of facewear that unlocks the slot, and if you didn't have any, like me, it won't unlock that way. You have to obtain some from somewhere, like the gold saucer.

I dont really understand the tomestone or relic weapon exchange thing. Can anyone explain in detail? The person at Radz at Han isnt there for me?

If you only made changes that can be done at an aesthetician, put in a ticket for it; if a GM is feeling benevolent, they may give you a Fantasia. If you made ANY other changes though, even if its just switching the skin tone one over, you are SOL.

For the quest giver NPC: The default key to hide player names was "X" on keyboard. Makes it easier to click on the NPC, especially when people stand directly on them. Automating it is a good upgrade.

Yea Setting It To 99 Worked Great.

And that’s why I’m not buying Dawntrail yet. The massive amount of ppl near quest giver and quest location. Thx so much for tips though. That fantasia 😁
