Dawntrail Benchmark Comparison - Final Fantasy XIV

I've seen a few comparison videos out between the two Dawntrail Benchmarks. Most of them focus on 4K graphics or high quality graphics the average gamer won't ever see. So how does it affect you?
This video aims to show a graphics comparison on a normal computer. I am also showing the difference in performance. I used the same settings for both benchmarks.
In my opinion, the differences are fairly noticeable. Specifically, fog settings are extremely different, making depth of field a lot more noticeable in the updated graphics. Facial shadows are also quite apparent. There's a minor impact on the performance, but it shouldn't be enough to cause issues. Ignore the slight stutter at the very beginning in the new version, as that's not reproducible.
I tried to align the two videos as much as possible in my editing software as well, and remove most of the loading time. Please enjoy!
