I always thought Final Fantasy XIII already had great graphics for the year it was released. I decided to make this Reshade preset to show that with some tweaks the game visual can go even further, and you may not notice performance drops due the mod.
Reshade resources used: AmbientLight, Border, Curves,  HDR, LumaSharpen , Tonemap and Vibrance.


- REQUIREMENTS

1- ONLY for NVIDIA users
:  If you are using HDMI conection, Its VERY IMPORTANT to set your Dynamic Range in full, in the graphics card control panel (see this image).
For AMD Users:  open AMD control panel, click on Gaming tab > Games >Global Graphics > Display > Pixel Format  and set to: RGB 4:4:4 Pixel Format PC Standard (Full RGB).

- INSTALLATION STEPS        

1-
Download the latest Reshade version from https://reshade.me/ ;

2- Run the executable to install the Reshade ----> select the game or browse until find the game executable .exe folder  (usually [........Steam\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY XIII\white_data\prog\win\bin ] ) and
click  on the game .exe  file ----> Next ----> select DirectX9  ----> Next  ----> In the shaders collections window  check Legacy Effects box ----> Next ----> wait  the download of the shaders ---> Finish...


ATTENTION: The firewall from some antiviruses can block the download of shader files during Reshade installation (Message: "Unable to Finish Download"). If it is happening to you turn off the firewall temporalily
and try to install Reshade again. In some cases even Windows can block the installation and you will need to check the options in Windows Warning to go on with the install.  There is not any viruses in these
files, its a false positive.
 

3- Download my mod from files tab of this page, and extract the file Phoenix.ini to the same
FINAL FANTASY XIII\white_data\prog\win\bin  folder mentioned in step 2  ; 

4- Run the game, use "Home" key to open Reshade menu, click on continue and at the bar near the top 
choose the file "Phoenix.ini" and click on Select, (like the exemple in image bellow) , so click on "continue" bars and "Finish" bar at the bottom of the menu,  then "Home" key again to close it.
NOTE: If you dont like the black bars at the top and the bottom of the screen, uncheck Border.fx box in the menu.




5- (Optional) If you want to set a hotkey to Enable/Disable the Reshade Effects you can do it on Reshade menu
Settings tab > Effects Toggle Key  (I use F3 key to turn ON/OFF all the effects, but it will not be activated by default after your installation, you will need to activate it by yourself if you  want, cause Reshade does not allow to save it on the preset ini file which I shared here ).


                     ENJOY AND PLEASE CLICK ON "ENDORSE" IF YOU LIKE THE PRESET!  


- UNINSTALLATION :

To uninstall you need to delete: reshade - shaders folder, Phoenix.ini, dxgi.dll (OR d3d9.dll ) and any other file with "Reshade" in the name from [FINAL FANTASY XIII\white_data\prog\win\bin ] folder .
