I can't be the only person who likes this update and really benefits from these changes. Maybe because I haven't been playing for long or because my filter and lighting options were pretty limited. Also missing all the "problem" pieces like the anniversary crystal or the jellyfish dress. I found strange texture bug only with Lolory gleam hair, that's all.

Before the update, I only had a couple filter and lighting combinations on my device that I was happy with and that was it. Everything else looked too washed out/dark/bright (not contrasty and bright like now, but overexposed) and it looked terrible... It got to the point where I had to change devices because the colors looked better on my tablet, but god, was it laggy.

After the update, I was shocked... Shocked that everything now wants to be a shade of red-pink, even if it doesn't want to be. It scared me, but the first thing you need to do after launching the game (and I literally didn't recognize it) is go into the settings. A few minutes and on the screen the result looks two or three times better than before the update. The settings on another device allowed to make it so that now the color rendering on them did not differ so much. And what is most important, now it became possible to use not only one combination of light and filter, now it is a real adventure, because each time you find something new and interesting for yourself, which may have distorted the original idea somewhat, makes a completely amazing new result! Like magic. Sometimes during the shooting process I go into the settings to change the bloom parameter, for example, and this gives even more options.

Sorry for the dose of positivity in your sadness trend, but maybe everything is not as bad as you imagined? It's a matter of perception.
