📋 About This Mod

-- MOD DESCRIPTION --

REALXIV will drastically change the way you see your game and enhance your viewing experience like no other.

Using a plethora of shaders and particularly RT shaders to accomplish what I wanted, this is a very unfriendly preset for lower to mid range hardware, and is more for screenshots and cutscenes more than anything. Knowing this, I have added a more performance friendly gameplay preset that maintains the basic look of the main course, along with any user being free to enable or disable what they please.

For reference, I'm on a 3080 with max game settings on an ultrawide, and lock the main preset to an unstable 30fps. I lock the gameplay preset to 60 with around 20% gpu to spare.

There are two main options available:

The Pascal version

The NiceGuy version

The Pascal version requires Pascal's shaders, which are not available for free.

The NiceGuy version uses NiceGuy Lighting and other free raytracing alternatives.

I have tried my best to keep as much parity as possible between both of these versions so no user is discouraged about being unable to obtain any shader, and I am equally proud of the work I've done for both.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure Reshade is installed and updated for your FFXIV version before dropping in this preset.

  • If you're using GShade or other shader tools, disable them to avoid conflicts.
