Too Long; Didn't Read
Reshade shaders have been compiled by the FFXIV community to give the game a much-needed facelift. The shaders include SMAA, Gaussian blur and several flavours of sharpening. Using the shaders too heavily can easily tank the framerate with some shaders effectively halving the game’s framerate or even bringing it to single digits even on powerful machines. Some effects are also unsuitable for gameplay in general and some are designed to bring out pastel colours.
