Pure Light for FFXV
Preset description:
Pure Light is a Reshade preset created to make FFXV look more cinematic while also giving a bit of a "photorealistic" feel.
Some of the features of this preset:
* Slightly altered color palette (less yellow) for a more cinematic feel (and a deeper blue sky on sunny days).
* Darker shadows & improved ambient light (e.g. darkens places which are not well lit) for a more realistic feel.
* Sharper textures. This preset reduces the blurriness FFXV has due to antialiasing.
* Higher luminance of the sun: the sun feels more powerful and objects which are illuminated by the sun are brighter.
* The nights are slighty darker, light sources during nights appear slighty brighter.
* Enhanced reflections on objects like rocks.
* You can toggle the border with F3 in case you don't like it.
Comparison video & short gameplay:

Installation:
1) Download Reshade https://reshade.me/
2) Install Reshade to the game.
In order to do this, open the Reshade Setup.exe and click "select game" and search the ffxv_s.exe (located at ./Steam/steamapps/common/FINAL FANTASY XV). It suffices to select the effects listed below (or just click "yes" to install all effects).
3) Run the game and click "Shift + F2" in order to open the Reshade menu (for some strange reason you have to run FFXV in Borderless Mode and tab out and in again after opening the Reshade menu in order to access your mouse when the Reshade menu is active). Add a new preset (by clicking the "+") and name it "PureLight".
4) Close the game and go to the directory where the ffxv_s.exe is located. Open the file "PureLight.ini". Download the preset by clicking the link below. Copy paste the content of the txt-file into the „PureLight.ini“ file.
5) Start the game, open Reshade and activate the preset by selecting it from the drop down list. You can assign a toggle key in the Reshade settings if you wish.
6) I recommend setting "filtering" to low in the graphics settings. My full graphics settings are listed below under "performance".
Uninstall:
Delete the files "dxgi.dll", "dxgi.ini", "PureLight.ini" and the folder "reshade-shaders" from your FFXV game folder (where the ffxv_s.exe is located).
Performance & Graphics Settings:
The hit on performance depends on the hardware. On my system (GTX 1080, Intel i7 6700, 16 GB Ram) the fps-hit varies between 5 and 15 fps. Here are my graphics settings for FFXV with which I created the preset and took the screenshots:
* Resolution: 100%
* Assets: On (primary because of the increased grass density that comes with the texture pack)
* Model LOD: High
* TRAM: Highest
* Anisotropic Filtering: High
* Geomapping: Off (there are only a few places where I even notice the effect so I turned it off for better performance)
* Lighting: High (Highest doesn't look better IMO but slightly decreases performance)
* Shadows: Highest
* Ambient Occlusion: High
* Anti-aliasing: TAA
* Motion Blur: Off
* Filtering: Low (this just adds filters to the image which I don't like and which costs fps)
* NVIDIA HairWorks: On
* NVIDIA VXAO: Off (some places appear too dark with VXAO and this preset activated at the same time)
* NVIDIA TurfEffects: On (I really like the look of the grass with this effect activated)
* NVIDIA ShadowLibs: Off
