Improved graphics aside, this is still one of the best cutscenes in the whole game.

It’s like the models are in HDR but not the backgrounds which is a tad weird

In most cases I'd call this a major upgrade, especially with the environment textures. I do think they probably didn't have time to fine tune every cutscene though. You can see at 1:56 a perfect example of where the previous lighting was much superior and menacing. That said, at 2:02 in the very next frame, even though the same issue persists, the rest of the surrounding scene is more detailed in the new lighting.

Character lighting is a little bright and unnatural in some areas, like there's a constant flashlight being held up to each model. But besides that, changes look well, some higher detail in textures, metals have a real shine, lighting that doesn't fall onto character models seems to interact with the environment more naturally. If we can fix the character lighting, should be perfect

Graphics aside, it's crazy how much better the writing is here compared to Endwalker

imagine calling that a graphic update... they just updated the luminosity / contrast XDDDD

too much brightness on the characters now, look at 1:56, detail lost on his face due to how the increased the lighting.

mods and g shade been doing this forever. clothing and armour still look low resolution. not impressed at all.

Do we have to buy dawntrail in order to get the graphics upgrade?

would of had more effect if they used HDR. other than characters textures and lighting its not much.

So they just increased the luminosity?

In person, the difference is alot more noticeable. The videos don’t do it justice.

My thoughs on the update are mixed. Sometimes, it looks pretty good, sometimes, my rough character now looks like Sora

How someone can look at a shot like 0:48 or 2:45 and say the only change they made is things look brighter is actually beyond me. You have to be hard of sight, have a shitty monitor, or trolling to not notice the improvements to lighting, shadows, textures (mostly in the environment and the character models). Sure, the less intentional lighting through the use of actual environmental lighting and shadows makes some stuff a little less dramatic, and some stuff is a definitely awkward as a result of putting upgraded tech into an older cutscene not built for it, but to ignore all of the changes and downplaying it is crazy. Edit: Forgot to mention that shadows are definitely sharper, making dark spots even darker. How you can make something darker by "just turning up brightness" is beyond me.

Now they need to fix hands and feet

It’s like there is a flashlight pointing right at the faces of those characters.

So they turned up the brightness?

Some things I like, some things I hate. What a weird update. Definitely hate my face now, and Fantasia doesn’t help. Fuck.

AA shouldn't be disabled, as it was broken prior to 7.0 but basically fixed now.

I never expected it to be so drastic. The moment I stepped out of my inn room at the Quicksand it was like stepping into another world.

You notice the graphics update more when you’re in dawntrail areas. The old zones at this point feels like you are wearing glasses for the first time

The new lighting looks a bit off in specific moments (mostly due to how we got used to old rendering method), though shadows and general character lighting does look much better

Is the Graphical Update rollout complete now Dawntrail has released?

at the 6.16 mark you can really see the difference.... more life in the expression!

"I bet some psycho is watching that way right now." Yeah and I'll do it again ya weed

ill give Liam credit..... Better late than never right....?

i still think about the term "You paid for it. Currency was exchanged." in my day to day and i have circa 2017 woolie to thank for this

Jesus who shat in Matt's cereal?

7 years later and he's still right

I'm mad at pat for telling her about the windows.

19:18 this is the same as washing yourself and putting the same clothes back on, no, do not.

It’s great looking back how the push to free Metal Wolf actually worked.

I can't believe she literally meme'd WcDonald's into reality.

The perfect couple doesn't exi...

When Pat went behind the couch, he made the couch look enormous he's so small

It's now February of 2024 and these two horrible goblins are now happily married with a baby son. That son will grow up and see this video. That thought makes me extraordinarily happy.

The pregnancy jokes age very oddly now xD

Love whole clips of Matt contributing nothing to the conversation lmao.

its a bit late but would paige do better with a keyboard? I prefer wasd

You're not really a Mario64 speedrunner unless your console is in space to maximize the chance of cosmic rays affecting the RAM

“I never said gone forever” 1:32:59 Pat and his technical truths, or not understanding they are effectively the same statement?

THESE 2 MADE A BABY 😭☠️🤣

These two have a child now. 🤣☠️

"Losing means you shouldn't have tried" is great, but the best non-hyperbolic statement is "At least the empty ship got back to base."

These pregnancy joke hit so much harder now that P&P have an actual kid 😂

11:40 no really 2024

Little did we know, this series was Woolie's "Destroying Athena's Temple" on his God of War journey to get revenge on Kishimoto. Upon finishing the LP, Woolie's skin was stained white with the ashes of hus burned Naruto mangas

There is no more water.

Paige is so strange 😅 For replaying the Birthday puzzle, she continues to refail the test, but then proves the point of the tape with "oh, I know the password already"

Gotta be honest, that hair-style is cursed on her
