Well well… People told me to check Gshade, and damn: they were RIGHT. I’m stunned how it helps the incredible assets Creative Business Unity 3 made, and how much it elevates the

i really dislike the distance blur tbh, i prefer it without.
One doesn't fully comprehend the power of GShade and FFXIV's emote system until they've watched ZANEKONPU's fan made short films.
i was LITERALLY looking up gshade a few hours before this video popped up since i wanted to go the extra mile for my ff14 experience. wtf o.O
All I ask is you all stick to just Gshade because ff14 has a lot of crazy visual erp mods that some of you really don't want to know about lol.
WoW ..timeless? Maybe to the blind? Bitch that shit is OOOOOOOOOOOOLD and its clear as day.
The effect is basically "make the rest of the game look like Shadowbringers quality". Very first quest of ShB and you notice a ridiculous difference in gfx quality compared to what you saw up to that point. My eyes actually had to adjust to the difference.
Love this and love your deep dives into tweaking graphics. I always thought ffxiv looked a tiny bit dated and this is amazing
All of us on PS4 are too busy fighting each other for PS5s
how heavy is Gshade on a comp running a true 6 core CPU and a 1650 super? is it worth it? or will i have problems?
Dammit man, you stole my dudes' hair.
Meh.
Gotta get them bunny/cat girls in hd amirite?
Would really like Bellular to do a look at Fr4nsson's hotbar config. really addresses an issue that you don't even realize you're having till you get it with the quasi random placement of abilities byt the base game as you obtain them.
Sorry John, I like the original outro more, but what I know about music…🤷
The main problem I have with things like gshade, is that the settings are never very good for all situations. They're good at making certain scenes or situations look really good for a short period of time. To get the best use out of it, You kind of need to make multiple presets, and toggle between them based on your setting.
One big negative to amping up post processing (it shows in this video even) is that it plays hell on shadows. In some narrow situations it increases certain things like jawline definitions, but then in many other situations, the facial features can be completely lost in shadows.
Most of the time, increasing saturation even a tiny amount makes a lot of stuff look a bit blown out. Unfortunately the moment you turn it off after your eyes have adjusted to the oversaturated look, it makes everything seem even more drab and washed out than it really is.
its website is overly complicated and is badly designed
I don't use G-shade because after seeing the difference between 60 FPS and 120 FPS, I value the higher FPS far more than the reshading. How smooth everything moves at higher frame rates is life changing.
Eh, I do not like the gshade results, at least what's shown here. It just looks like the saturation is turned up and it throws the entire palette off. Everything is too strong. Colors look like they're glowing. To each their own, but this is definitely not for me.
Parsers will only get you banned if you're talking about them ingame, ESPECIALLY if you are doing it to a group that they don't want it and you are using it to meter-shame people. Otherwise, parsers are fine… just don't be an ass with them.
Ive tried so things on gshade, and yes, the game looks more vibrant and colorful, and I'm glad to have seen that, but I uninstalled gshade, im sorry, but a game could have colored rectangles for all I care and Id still play it, visuals just dont appeal to me
"Running around Limsa looking at people's glams" You've reached the endgame.
This is the rabbit hole, and G-shade is just the beginning. Lots of work has gone into other supplementary visual upgrades, especially on the model and texture front. If Bellular gets a chance to try out the upgraded character textures, I think it would take his MSQ experience more than a couple steps above it's current quality. I only discovered them after MSQ but altogether (G-shade and texture mods), it often makes the cutscenes look as though they are from a game that came out in the last 3 years as opposed to one from the first half of the last decade.
it might be good do remind people that even installing Gshade is against the TOS. So do everyhting at your own risk.
This is awesome
Bellular preset when? :eyes:
ive been using the nvidia filters to add more color and contrast. works great
As a heavy christian , Literally I weigh 650, the terms and conditions give my soul over to them which I do not agree with and sadly renders me unable to use this just like I can't use my legs :/
just downloaded… well this is AMAZING.
Gshade is so nice, Ive been using an old preset since 2016 back before gshade was a standalone thing, I still use the preset today its called "No More Washed Out Colors" I only lose about 3-5 fps, but its still one of my favorit presets. I might have to check out some of the presets that gshade has though, to see if I find one I like more with the same fps hit. I havent looked around the presets in a while.
Yeah I didn't know what to except going into this video, I'm definitely in the 'why?' camp, but I think I'll never understand
As much as I love GShade and other external plugins like FFXIVQuickLauncher, I'm not sure that actively advertising these addons is a good idea due to the game's ToS. Using them on stream is generally ok, but straight up endorsing them in a public video at a time when a lot of people are looking towards your channel? Not sure that's wise.
Did you just say WoW's graphics are crisp, stylized and timeless? More look outdated and ugly as sin, it burns my eyes just looking at everything in the game.
Reshade makes the game look more toonish, don't like it.
As a person with almost decade long expirience in hardcore skyrim modding – try it if you want, but dont expect much. All of the reshades are a placebo and eat tons of performance for little to none actual impact. Do not expect miracles.
Ive recently been thinking about giving FFXIV another go now im not tied to wow so much. these types of things just make me want to do it more 😍
Aliasing pretty much goes away at 4K
There's no coming back after you try GShade.
How is WoW timeless when it looks like a PS2 game?
Play more modern games, dude.
The color grading out of the box isn't neutral though, it's a green hint.
There are numerous reshade mods that fix only that. For anyone who can't sacrifice more fps.
Can't unsee that green filter change after.
Sad console player noises
Thank you for this video! I got reshade but had no idea how to use it – I will deffo check out those presets
I can't even turn off my Project Crystal Gameplay gshade anymore, it's just gorgeous. Makes everything so vibrant.
can you run gshade in 4k resolution or does it have to be 1080p?
