So yesterday I jumped back into ff7 after a week or so off. I noticed the lighting issues got much worse. Is there news about a patch or is no one else experiencing this washed out image?

When you turn on light mode on any website and instantly regret it
The lighting is the worst part of the game for me. I don’t even really mind the blurry performance mode but that lighting is so inconsistent. The indoor lighting is pretty good most of the time but sunny days are washed out.
Put your sunglasses and sunscreen on
Yeah, that lighting is all over the place. Like a disco in a blender. Any word on fixes?
I am not sure about FF7 Rebirth, but I had a similar issue with Sekiro on PC. Washed out lighting. Turns out that turning off auto-HDR for Sekiro in particular fixed it. Might be the same thing.
edit: well scratch that, that’s a PS5 exclusive you are playing. Sorry
I noticed this especially in the Grasslands region. If you were running away from the sun, the grass was beautiful and green and looked great. If you ran into the sun, everything was washed out.
So FFXVI was too dark, couldn’t see much in places like Lostwing. And then they overcorrected here?
Christ, billion dollar company at work.
post this either to the ff7 sub or send a ticket to the devs.
Hi can anybody tell me where should I start playing FF. Should I start from the old games or the remakes are sufficient?
I just hate that when you go in and out of dark areas, the realistic thing it does where it simulates your eyes adapting really hampers movement
Is this in game lighting or your monitor’s gamma settings along with brightness and contrast?
When was the last time you calibrated your monitor and or TV?
The only thing preventing me from giving the game a perfect score. It’s soooooo bad, especially sections where you are constantly changing if you are inside or out. Also hands down the brightest “0 brightness” game zi’ve ever played
Omg did the sun go nova??
Phewww thought I was the only one with this problem, plus performance mode still looks like garbage is blurry/pixelated
Not the right sub to post tech issues.
That’s how they design the game. Nothing you can do about it. Hopefully when it comes to pc, someone can mod lighting.
For me it’s the gdang audio when in the field. The music is killer, but I can’t hear the quips my party is saying for shit sometimes
16 has a better narrative and no lighting issues 😬
Just bahamut performing megaflare
Funny. Not me, no issues and I’m in graphics mode plus HDR as well so I don’t know what’s going on there. ….
Just made a post about lighting last week and people jumped all over me. Thanks for sharing a screenshot so people can’t just say “get a better tv”. Game is amazing otherwise but it would be cool if they could change the lighting somehow
Lightning is in XIII, not VII tho..
This stuff was so bad for me that it led me down a rabbit hole, ended up finding out my monitor is not super good for HDR. Turned it off and messed around with brightness settings for my monitor and in the game, it looks a bit better for me.
I got to the desert areas and couldn’t stand it, it was pretty bad. Now I’m more or less good though.
This just makes me think of the picture of Ben Starr at the game award
Might be your in-game, system HDR, TV brightness and HDR settings, or most likely a combination of all.
