How many people actually use Film Style Post Shader?

  Off, because it washes everything out. I don't need my colorful game to become duller and more muted then real life.

  Well decided to give it a shot seeing that a lot of people seem to like it. I guess it's not too bad once you get used to it.

  I like what it does to the visuals of the game but I leave it off because at night I can't see shit, and since this isn't some game like skyrim or fallout I don't want realistic nights. I want to see what I'm doing.

  
  I've always preferred having the really dark nights in games. The only time it ever really caused a problem for me was when I went into Karu to look for that water thing I needed to make a bridge for that title. I felt it added a touch of immersion value, for me.
  
  I never did find that thing, though. Maybe I should turn it off and run back through Karu Forest again.

  I half agree with that; if you are in optimal and somewhat dimly lit room then it would look good, but it absolutely kills the immersion when you are struggling to make out what anything is on the screen because of a little ambient lighting.
  
  Generally I find that it makes things that are normally kind of plastic looking such as grass or certain clothing, look rather more realistic and detailed. However when I go into a certain dungeons, the shadow realm, or more dimly lit areas, I tend to find that the shader makes things overly-gritty and bruding, which I find makes the game look cheap. Also I tend to get a slightly yellow-sepia tone from the shadow that makes certain things look funny. I cannot really say whether it is better on or off though.

  Now that you mention it, I did have a lot of trouble seeing things in the Halloween Labyrinth event. But it didn't really bother me too much.
  
  When I can do missions, I should try them without the shader... I always felt a bit... Irritated with the general atmosphere of them, now that I think of it. Maybe the brighter, poppy default colors would alleviate that a bit.

  I've always had it on, but using it in conjunction with f.lux negates the effect it has for me. Not sure if that's supposed to be a thing.

  I never knew this existed and Mabinogi's blandness burned my eye sockets every time. Now I want to marry Mabinogi.

  Its actually pretty cool, it reminds me of the G13 cutscenes. I don't mind it.
