The biggest change is the games first graphical update.

The livestream made it hilariously clear that Square Enix isnt aiming for photorealism - just all around improved visuals.

Characters are getting better-looking skin, gear and hair with higher-resolution textures.

The games lighting, animation and shadows are being reworked as well.

Environments will also see some improvements in foliage and ambient effects.

This means that solo players can soon complete most story-related dungeons by themselves.

Other future updates will similarly make the game more accessible to solo players.
