Reshade+framework version 18.7
Please note if you are coming from the XIV forums.
This preset uses different settings than my original showcase. It is not over-saturated....ok it's a little saturated lol, but it is a lot clearer, crisp and has more effects. If you're playing with this on during gameplay i would recommend a 690 or higher!. Or just disable SSAO.
Also note that SSAO is not perfect in reshade, at least not my settings. You will need to use HBAO if you want perfect AO, this of course gives a much bigger performance hit but a 690 and up should be able to handle it :).
If you notice strange graphical artifacts that is SSAO being a pest, don't worry about it. Disable SSAO or use HBAO and you will be good to go!.
I've basically tweaked every single setting to almost perfection, well perfection in reference to my own tastes. So as a default, a setting may be too strong or not show up at all. But i messed around with everything to give slight visual effects which provides a good foundation for further tweaking :).
The position and angle of DoF will vary from character to character, mine is 0.5 because it matches up with the center of my screen and the specific height of my own character.
Depth of field may flicker on and off at certain times as the depth buffer is still in beta and is out of my hands. It may be fixed in the recent updates for reshade but i've heard problems with the newest version working with XIV.
Added bloom properly and tweaked it to only show up under certain brightness conditions, SSAO, a more accurate SMAA, tweaked filmgrain, godrays, extremely slight lens flare with tweaks, and changed the DoF up, reduced saturation a bit in HDR and bokeh, thinking about adding a tonemap not sure.
Note this only works with DX11!. If you want to use DX9 you will need to download a separate preset and use that d3d9.dll
Installation:
Just copy the contents into your game folder, done!.
