Dawntrail Updated Benchmark Comparison

A quick video that puts the 1.0 and 1.1 version of the benchmark side by side so you can see the differences in the changes made, featuring my WoL.
I tried my best to get it aligned to the exact frame for both videos though I'm probably not perfect.
Both sides were recorded with max settings.

I didn't expect the lighting to make such a huge difference. In the 1.0 benchmark, the skin looks plasticky and the eyes look dead. Just look at the difference at 0:53. The contrast is crazy. I've seen (a few) people say they can't see a difference; I question if they can see, at all.

Pretty nice improvements for character lighting in such a short time.

[@damzelfly]

Somehow my score is higher in the 1.1 version

Hold up! How do you have that hairstyle? I thought you can't access unlockables in the benchmark.

[@kevinsano]

if you copy a preset from the FFXIV folder and put it in the Benchmark folder (and renamed to the format it expects), it will load any hairstyle, although most will probably not be updated to the newer textures

[@dharcsu]

that's crazy almost like the grey filter the game has had for years is fucking hideous or something (just add gshade)

[@wtfwhoisthisguy]

Nothing here is worth talking about. Most games wouldn't even mention updates so minor.

[@GlowingF0ssil]

Very small upgrade for 10 years mmorpg. Better fix sliding animations rather than these.

[@Lukeormaybenath]

I agree. However the benchmark 1.0 already has some of the upgrades, iirc. Once expansion is out, we should compare older areas of the game to check any other significant improvements

[@ShitOwl]

bruh what would that be good for u only ever slide very rarely like when entering certain boss rooms
