Making the game less blurry?

[breast milk🥛]

I have settings maxed out, blur off, FOV off, AMD FSR 1.0 is on aswell. But the game still looks blurry. I'm playing on a 1440p monitor and don't see any options to change resolution, so maybe that's it? Does anyone know, thanks

Set AMD FSR to Ultra Qualiity, turn off blur, if is still blurry then I dont know, try chaging resolution, you can only change resolution at the launcher

Your AA should be at simple TAA or off.

FXAA or TAA+FXAA are bad options for this, the screen is obnoxiously blurry at either option. Doesn't help that TAA+FXAA is the far right option, which makes you think it's the best one, but it really isn't.

There's resolution setting in the launcher, before the game starts, as well. Adjust that.

The in-game settings can only go so far until Sega updates what the game uses (apparently users of Nvidia cards can slap in newer versions of DLSS for even better rendering that is noticeable, but we cannot do the same for AMD's FSR).

Along those same lines, if you have the power for it, you can try using something like ReShade to replace the game's form of anti-aliasing or to add sharpening filters. I personally use it to remove the slightly washed-out "gray" filter the game has (or to remove Phantasy Star Online 2's green overlay filter) so my use of ReShade is very minimal outside of those color-changes and slight sharpening for cleaner models.

Acctually I didn't know that. I found that I was on virtual fullscreen mode default, and was playing on 1920x1080, so I changed right now and will see what that does

Yeah it's really weird. TAA+FXAA is really blurry, and the first and 3rd options are too sharp for my taste. Plain FXAA is the best looking to me, althoug not perfect, it is better.

Ok thanks. I'll give that a try. I used something simular for FFXIV in the past that really made the game looks alot better.

Do you have a potato PC? FSR(auto) and automatic resolution adjustment might lower resolution so game can run reasonably... Enable steam overlay FPS display, disable both settings, and check your FPS if it's low or even locked due to v-sync.

No, it's decently high end. At least it runs most other games well. pso2 is just poorly optimized. TO put in persepctive: I can run cyberpunk 2077 max settings 1440p at same fps as pso2ngs. I have an AMD Ryzen 9 5900x cpu, AMD Radeon 7800xt, 32gb ram at 3600mhz

Actually, when I went from Virtual full screen mode to full screen, and dropped TAA+FXAA to just FXAA, my fps went from 70 or so to 150 now

Ah true, Virtual Full Screen is pretty damn bad in this game.

Full Screen is a lot better for performance alone, and it's slightly cleaner.
