Comparison
As you can see this makes the whole image more clear, even including the UI and fonts.
There's nothing you can do about the pre-rendered 720p cutscenes though.

Thank you! I genuinely thought the internal resolution was stuck at 720p, despite the save menu looking fine. I also used 4xS Combined like Sayonara suggested, and it looks nice + it runs really well on my GTX 1650 Ti (unlike 8xQ Multisampling), looks much closer to VC4's anti-aliasing now

Note that I'm talking about reducing the regular AA setting, not the Transparency Supersampling setting. Disabling or reducing the Transparency AA setting doesn't seem to affect performance or RAM usage noticeably, it just makes some of the edges look blocky.

If you try this and are getting crashes/stuttering/black screen on startup and intro movie, try lowering the Antialiasing setting to something lower (4x / 2x).

I had this issue on GTX1080 8GB running in 4k; at 8x AA it sucked up all the GPU dedicated RAM and overflowed to system RAM, tanking the framerate (<1fps). Any of the 4x modes worked for me, including 2x2 Supersampling - personally I think 4xS Combined looks best, YMMV.

Compare the tips of Isara's hair especially.

Thanks to you, a few small improvements don't hurt this game.

8xQ [8x8 Multisampling] does not exist in the list, I only found 8xQ [8x Multisampling] , a small typing error probably........
