  1. From the post Shadowbringers MSQ (SPOILERS?) we see not much has changed with our friend's um… ailment? However notice the floor and most of all the surrounding crystals.

  2. Its a little sad (?) that the tower doesnt "burn" as bright anymore… Now it looks like not much is happening… Refering to 0:50 . On the other hand, this might've been on purpose…?

  3. They did say that the model upgrades for characters will happen gradually in some cases,pixel exarch is probably one of them thatll get his upgrade within the patches

  4. i think we should bring this to attention to the devs, tower looks aight but it needs some shine/glow imo cause the crystal tower itself should be the eye catching but now it just blends into the sky color,. The convocation crystals on the floor looking like we puked some light onto it too (the crystal itsself looks good but the lighting there seems bad i think)

  5. There's been a rampant complaints or issues being brought forth where Yoshi P already explained or addressed. He already stated that graphical updates are an ongoing project which will continue thru 7.x series. The prominent changes done at the early stages are NPC that used character creation assets and various texture reworks for older releases. Custom characters like Ryne, Crystal Exarch, Vaultry, and etc will be done later.

  6. The graphic update has been mediocre so far, and how much of their time and energy wasted on this "upgrade"? They really fucked up big time this expansion. Shocked it ain't the worst receiving.

  7. yeah about what i expected. unforunately a graphics update would have this effect on alot of scenes with special effects due to having to remake them all. they said they would be slowly updating older stuff as time goes on so we will just have to see ig

  8. My guess has to be that Crystal Echarch is considered a special model. If you remember they said that special model characters will take time to change, we see this with some outfits as well, and we will see some old models around for the moment.

  9. The more subtle effects being lost, like the shadow effect during the big attack on Elidibus, is slightly more tragic than the lost glow, cuz I’m more worried that the small artistic touches will be forgotten.

  10. mind you, this is a big thing a lot of people seemed to miss, The visual update was not to every single aspect of the game, characters look better yes, however they said they would be releasing DT in full graphics and as time goes on we will see them roll out the graphics BACKWARDS, meaning endwalker zones get the full upgrade including characters, then shadowbringers, so on and so forth.

  11. The specifically said that some NPCs were going to get updated with patches and to please bare with this. These videos without context only serve to spread misinformation like a lot of the comments are.

  12. I am going to hold my judgement until the Devs announce the updates are finished, then I will judge, and I am Ok with this. These things take time, despite how some thing people think. My new cat girl stares back into my soul, and I am satisficed with that for now.

  13. Crystal Exarch have more detailed hair now, but dem clothes still have pixels. 😵‍💫
    Also, the crystal tower now looks more like an igloo because the texture gave me the feel that it looks more like ice than actual crystal. It needs more luster and reflected colors.
    Hopefully the graphic updates are still going. 💖
