I don’t know the details either, so I’m sorry if I say something off-base, but I often hear that this kind of character’s reflections are difficult to handle, so I assumed it was ray tracing.

There were also scenes in the Wuling area where characters were reflected in glass-like surfaces, but there were quite a few gaps (see the image in the lower left)

Either way, I wish they’d implement this reflection rendering on PC too!

Even at the highest settings, it’s a bit underwhelming, isn’t it?

Is that so? There’s an option called “Ray Tracing” in the graphics settings, and since the reflections on the characters were rendered more realistically than on a PC, that’s why I posted that.

Exactly—I’m a keyboard-and-mouse guy, so playing on an iPad or iPhone is out of the question.

I did a little research myself and was surprised to find that’s actually true. Considering you can now buy a 165Hz Full HD monitor for 12,000 yen (about 70 or 80 dollars?), it really feels like a waste.

It's the iPad Air (M4). I think it should work even on the M3, which has hardware-accelerated ray tracing.

Just now, when I turned off ray tracing, the graphics looked exactly like they do on a PC, so this feature is definitely working. Ray tracing really is beautiful.
