Final Fantasy XIII PC |OT| Lightning must not be forgotten

Expect nothing. Then when the patch comes out and it does nothing substantial, you won't be disappointed. If it comes out and it does something substantial (lel) then you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Damn these last images, so purdy.
Started Chapter 12 yesterday.
Of course forgot to save after
fight, and did not clear Mark 7, so I have no way to upgrade my team's weapons (I did have 2 Ultracompact Reactors, so at least Fang has her 2nd level weapon maxed out).
Oh well, at least I have synthesized Sprint Shoes and Light is sporting 4 Boost family accessories, so she should live up to her name this chapter.
When exactly you can get back to Gran Pulse? Just before last boss or earlier?

Once you get access
to the final dungeon the game will give you portals to both Gran Pulse and Cocoon
News? The trilogy in its entirety was slated for 'by Spring 2015' from the start.
Well, ask yourself, Squeenix needs two month to implement a single confirmation dialogue.
How long will it take for them to port a new game?
FFXIII-2 in Spring 2037
I fear for XIII-2 because textures and surroundings look even worse
Actually I think XIII-2 is still pretty good looking.Though the art design is not nearly as compelling.It will look great on PC.
LR has significantly worse aspects unfortunately.
I finished the game 5 years ago so my memory of it has been to kind to the actual quality of the story. Apparently I had forgotten how bad the writing and characters were - it's seriously garbage with really poor storytelling when I am playing it now.
I can deal with the linearity, as the amount of locales and beautiful art style make up for it. But I can't deal with the horrible, horrible characters and the frankly repulsive writing.
I would have liked the game soooo much more if these incredibly severe flaws weren't there. Beautiful visuals, impressive diversity of environments, engaging combat, sweeping and interesting music, and the overall premise of the narrative is sound. All contribute to an entertaining experience. But the characters and writing and execution of the story are just so terrible.

the "late game farm CP spot" mentioned in OP was tripping me up. Behemoth kept transforming and killing me before I could stagger + kill it. Bully (com/sab/syn) gets it so Lightning is dealing like 60k+ damamge per hit even after the behemoth transforms. then the other thing staggers real quick with (tri-disaster) rav/rav/rav. about 75 seconds per fight
~10 and you should have no problems.
NVidia Inspector does the trick. It probably works with MSI Afterburner too.
Not really, even when locked to 30 fps refresh the game tends to dip into tens whenever it's loading new assets.
It's not doing anything with your CPU then, and certainly not doing much with I/O, so I don't have an ounce of idea why it behaves like this.
Isn't FFXIII-2 coming in december? At least that's when it's supposed to be available through Dive In.
That's what we thought too but then the DiveIn version of XIII was delayed so we can't be sure.
By the way I would really like to thank all the people who signed the petition and helped make this port a reality.

The image quality is too good, and I'm not seeing artifacts from screen-space reflections. Obviously not an eighth-gen game.
It's played back on your display in real time!

Put up some downsampled FFXIII footage at 1080p/60fps.

Can't stress how gorgeous it looks running at that speed and resolution. :3

Any tips on how you got such a nice framerate?

I like the Japanese Lightning voice so much better than the English one.
Wow, looks incredible. The things I would do to experience the game with these settings... Enjoy it man.

Not as much as later, but you have a number of workable strategies and setups from early on. I mean, that's what I actually did when I played the game for the first time.
Good lord.screenshot time again!

Well, here's my GeDoSaTo Config:
Code:
# Lines starting with "#" are ignored by GeDoSaTo and used to provide documentation
# This is a profile file for ffxiiiimg
## Rendering Resolution
# can't select res in-game so write it here
clearRenderResolutions
#renderResolution 1920x1080@60
renderResolution 3840x2160@60
#renderResolution 4480x2520@60
## Anti Aliasing
# MSAA sample count, default 4, other options: 2, 8
# higher = higher performance impact
MSAASampleCount 4
# Enable coverage sampling (CSAA on NV, EQAA on AMD) if HW supports it
# (improvement for small performance hit)
enableCoverageSampling true
## Shadow Resolution
# 1 = default
# sensible values: 2, 4, 8 (extreme)
# higher numbers = larger performance impact
shadowScale 4
## Required settings, don't change
injectPSHash 1329c9bf
maxScreenshotParallelism -1
forceRenderRes true
#forcePresentRes trueI'm using an Xbox 360 Controller and have power settings turned to max. Running a single Nvidia GTX 770 (it's a factory oc'd EVGA model) and an i5 + 16gb of system ram. Certainly not as fancy as some others here. I do get some occasional slowdowns. I find that reducing the resolution to 1080p and using MSAA will result in a pretty awesome image quality with near-constant 60fps, if you're willing to sacrifice some IQ for more consistent framerate.
Cheers!

So I finally found a config that works for me at consistent 30fps and is perfectly beautiful while playing. 2.5k, 4x shadows, forceansio 16x (fixes the terrible UI scaling)
