Now let's compare these same scenes with Immerse Spatial On vs Off. Notice the increased sense of depth and directionality (including above and behind you) with Immerse Personalized Spatial Audio On.

CONFIGURE YOUR FFXIV SOUND SETTINGS

Although it’s not necessary to configure your FFXIV Sound Settings in any specific way for use with Immerse Gamepack, we encourage you to experiment to find the perfect spatial audio mix for you. In particular, we recommend setting Listening Position to 100 (Character), as doing so may result in more intuitive sound localization.

In our footage we disabled Background Music (BGM) and System Sounds, set listening Listening Position to 100 Character, and adjusted Ambient Sounds and Self Player Effects to varying degrees for balance.
