Any reason it's taking me 8 hours to unpack? I have 100gb free....

 

[StrikeFirst117]

And here I am still unpacking lol.

 

[Grief.exe]

Anyone dug around in the ini files yet?

 

[inky]

Don't worry you guys.

The resolution gets good 20 hours in.

Winner

 

[The English Conquistador]

Looks like I dodged a bullet there.

This! Holy shit. Dodged that shit like The Matrix lol.

 

[Plywood]

About the video quality:

-snip

 

[Raitningz]

I noticed a drop in the CGI quality, I see some pixels during motion.

And also there are some weird FPS drops during CGI... Why?

 

[ChiefofCitadelSecurity]

I'll wait to see what magical Durante can do but you can't blame him if he's powerless. Screw Crystal Tools.

There's that too. Durante might be walking into a room full of Hydras. lol

 

[Dmented]

This shouldn't be Durante's responsibility. Not in 2014.

It never should be. I think it's kind of fucked up people have to ask for him.

 

[Inuhanyou]

Ugh...those compression artifacts and macroblocking...PS3 version def don't look like that on a TV....

 

[Monado Blade]

For those complaining about no button prompts, you have to manually select it in the settings:

The port's so stupid though that every time you restart the game you have to reselect the option.

This is a lazier port than even the original PC release of FF7 or even any of the android ports of FF3 or 4.

Plus, if anybody still needs confirmation whether it's 720p or not, take a look at that screenshot's resolution.

 

[Holykael1]

Im super pissed I got hyped and bought this but reading this thread is making the despair a lot of fun.

This might be what i was experiencing, couldn't understand why it looked so weird all of a sudden.

Can't wait for TotalBiscuit's inevitable rant about SE after this.

Wonder if Jesse will have a similar rant next podcast.

[nibblemonkey]

I might of missed this in the thread already but who's idea was it to make ESC instantly quit the game with no confirmation?

 

[MayMay]

Anyone dug around in the ini files yet?

There's literally 2 options in the ini. Fullscreen Yes/No and Audio English/Japanese lol

 

[B-Dex]

Ff7 and 8 ports have more options and settings.

LOL

 

[Yoshichan]

GENIUS, SQUARE! GENIUS!

 

[Liquid-San]

Oh, Square.

 

[Aramiyo]

What's the point of include uncompressed cutscenes and taking up loads of space if the actual game looks garbage in comparison?

 

[robotrock]

Durante

I beg u

I pay u man quick

Lmao

 

[Queen of Hunting]

window mode forced aa and af in driver

 

[burgerdog]

That's probably because you are a sane PC gamer and are forcing it globally.

As any gamer should be doing.

 

[Monado Blade]

Guys

Black bars for everyone?

I had this problem as well.

Turned out my nvidia drivers didn't initially support 720p so FF13 would display squashed in 1280x1024.

Had to create a custom resolution in the drivers, and then i got proper full screen.

 

[Glass Rebel]

lol how is this ugly ass game giving my 670 so much trouble this shyt drops several frames during regular battles holy living fuck

 

[Skyzard]

The game was $15, hardly a massive crime all things considered.

Also to Nvidia users, please make sure to force "maximum performance" in your Control Panel for Power Management Options. I was getting 30-60fps spikes everywhere until I noticed my GTX 780 was sitting at 450Mhz (1100Mhz normally) clock speed. The GPU sits at 45C as well so this game is hardly that taxing, just make sure to force that and some AF from the control panel as well (looks a lot better).

Hmm I don't see power management options in the nvidia control panel...

Are you on a laptop?

Or do you mean the power options in windows control panel:

 

[Robin64]

GENIUS, SQUARE! GENIUS!

Square haven't seen an actual mouse since 1989, by the looks of it.

 

[Moral Panic]

I'm having really bad framerate drops.

 

[inky]

This is so confusing to read. Isn't 60 FPS a good thing? Did it matter what the initial resolution was since everyone knows Durante can unlock it later? Geez.

Durante is not your personal PC port fixer dude. Geez.

 

[ShinobiFist]

Almost done downloading(Less than 30mins)

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Apparently my game will finally unpack in 5 minutes.

Then I can join in on this trainwreck.

60 gigs and the FMV still doesn't look good SMH.

 

[CrimsonCrescendo]

Damnit, Square. Guess I'll stick with the PS3 version.

 

[Nethaniah]

I'm weirdly mostly upset about the cinematics being worse than ps3...why?

How did you guys unpack this shit so fast. It took me less time to download this pos.

SSD? I don't know .

 

[-GOUKI-]

[rivalchild]

Black bars

Do everyone have them

Do you have an AMD card?

 

[Stuart444]

This thread is great haha.

I'm still happy with this, having it on PC with JP language option

 

[Yoshichan]

Do you have an AMD card?

Nvidia

Gonna download latest drivers and force custom rez

 

[ShinobiFist]

Then another 30 mins of unpacking.

Time to go for a walk....Sighhh

 

[LouisaFerre]

What's the point of include uncompressed cutscenes and taking up loads of space if the actual game looks garbage in comparison?

They aren't uncompressed. They take up so much space because it's not just the full blown CGI cutscenes that are pre-rendered. A lot of the in game cutscenes are as well. On top of that there's also the dual audio, and because the lip syncing is different for English and Japanese, they essentially have to include two of everything.

 

[Faabulous]

So, it's ogre right? SE done goofed again? Should I be worried about the prospect of the following games coming to steam?

 

[Bittercup]

Comparison PC and PS3 cutscenes:
PC:

PS3:

PC:

PS3:

So yes, not PS3 quality

 

[GavinUK86]

window mode forced aa and af in driver

oh, that's not too bad

 

[-GOUKI-]

SSD? I don't know .

time to upgrade

 

[hlhbk]

This thread is great haha.

Please don't accept this terrible port.

 

[orochi91]

window mode forced aa and af in driver

That looks rather good!

 

[KHlover]

window mode forced aa and af in driver

Is that an actual screenshot of her ingame model? Why is it so ugly? This looks nothing like Lightning

 

[kiyomi]

Forcing AA/AF does make a good bit of difference. (AMD here)

Base game:

Overriden:

Especially the AF, to my eyes.

 

[FtsH]

So they basically copied and pasted the XO version onto PC? ..............
