Looks fine to me. Definitely better than what it looked in what, September? I keep on thinking of all the poor people who had to optimize on such a short time.
I hope the game does well, their work must not be in vain.

The graphical retextures look nice but it costs too much of the framerate, which with an action rpg framerate is pretty important.
The only pro mode worth it imo is the upcoming 60fps patch since 60fps will make the game and combat so much more fluid. But, 60fps isnt worth £350 lol

Yeah, do you guys remember when the game looked like this?
(Look at the full size image for full size horror)
The foreground is a pixelated mess, the background just unidentifiable slush.
Since I am guilty of buying a Pro especially for FFXV, I have to say it looks very nice and it is imo the technically prettiest open world game on console so far (clean IQ, sharp textures, lush vegetation in the distance...), but the upgrade is still more in the details. If you sit 3 metres or more away from a regular sized TV and you would have the base PS4 version and the Pro version of the game running right next to each other, you would probably not even see a difference.
I am still happy with my Pro because I finally have 1TB of space and because some games like Uncharted 4 and Ratchet & Clank now really look like Pixar movies, due to their very clean IQ. I can't wait to see some of the upcoming graphical beauties like God of War on the Pro in downsampled 1080p. O:

Omg I saw screens that looked EVEN WORSE. Like worse than Xenoblade X (which has respectable graphics). Screens with barely any lights that shitposters on 4chan paraded around. Do you remember them?
I don't frequent 4chan, please show us! O:

That will take me some time. Since the graphics have improved, people barely post them anymore... But I guarantee I saw them.
I think it was footage from the last TGS, when the team meets Ardyn in the beginning.

Yes, that's the area surrounding Hammerhead. It looks like the PSVita version of FFXV. XD
Aw...well, maybe you'll find them by chance again. I'd really love to see them. The developers really put out some awful screens. Oh, I have another one:
No, this isn't a bad, random screencap but an official promo screenshot released by Square Enix's press site last Gamescom. XD
This is how that region looks now:

Damn those screenshots look bad so I don't know why they ever thought they were the best pictures they could put out!
Also I'm upset I missed the opportunity to post a ring seven days gif on the day 7 of the count down!

It might have all been a cunning ploy to massively lower our expectation to then wow us with the final graphics. XD Where have we ever seen a graphical upgrade like that in the last couple of months? Nowhere! If there's one thing, it is usually a downgrade.
However they didn't manage to bring Episode Duscae's amazing full global illumination back.

It's kind of sad that the regular PS4/XBone version still have PS2 looking *inserts explicit comment here*...yet MGS4 looks hella nice and it's on PS3.

Nahh its alpt better by now, and also this is a huge open world.
MGS4 was very linear enviroments seperated by loading screens... cant really compare that.

yeah ps4 pro doesn't really seem worth it if you already own a ps4. Kinda like the 3ds xl or whatever. i got the larger screen 3ds and hyrule warriors runs on it, albeit not in 3d, so I don't feel the need to buy the newer 3ds.
plus metal gear is an unfair comparison, it ALWAYS looks amazing and ages really well.
hell even mgs3, and mgs2 to a lesser extent, which was ps2, still looks better than even some current (ps4/xbone) gen games.

Now look at that! O: King Of Fighters XIV will receive a significant graphical update with an upcoming patch. Some models will be slightly updated but the biggest change comes in improved lighting and shadowing:

Something's not right with the selfshadowing on the jacket though...

More and more rumors are spreading that Marvel vs Capcom 4 will be unveiled this week on Playstation Experience.
I hope they nail Shinkiro's art style with the bigger possibilities this generation:
Guitly Gear Xrd showed it's definitely possible. And it was/is even just a cross gen game.
As a reminder, this is how Marvel vs Capcom 3 looked like:
