The movies folder alone is almost 40GB but every video is twice in it. Probably for English and Japanese version.

So yes, not PS3 quality
What the fuck Square Enix.
Sounds nuts! :/

That's only because of the game rendering at 720p though right? Surely they used the PS3's videos and not the 360's? (although this is Square, please be excited etc.)

Does Twitch compress videos? First time watching anything on it and I ahve to say that the resolution looks meh.
Forced 720p resolution and framerate all over the place? Soooooo glad I didn't buy this crap.
And what the hell is up with the self shadowing in these screens - there are like discrete lines instead of actual shadows (look at the shadow on the back of her arms on the first and on the side of her face, to the left - viewer's side - of her nose, in the second).
few more screens

JP/ENG has their own lipsynched cutscene, that's why it increased to 50GB after they added dual audio. The PS3 version of FFXIII with only English cutscenes/audio is 40GB. So they're definitely more compressed, no where near as bad as 360 though.

Don't give them ideas...
i've got em
and even with maximum performance power settings on my card, i'm getting dips in fights. GTX 570, i5-2500k OC'd to 4.1ghz
No, there's two different renders for different lipsync.
PC and i swear i cannot see a difference .
If you switched the tags around you would totally fool me .

It's a shitty port all things considered, but 60fps and dual language support make it still the best version imo.
it just could have been so much better.

Man, the cutscene thing isn't just this game though...Shadow of Mordor has horrible compression too. It's really unforgivable on PCs these days. Use a better goddamn codec, use more space, anything...but these horribly compressed cutscenes need to go

Sucks.
Some thoughts:
1. Saved some money.
2. No wonder it's cheap!
3. I guess I don't have to go through all that slog again. Just play and finish up my 360 version since I'm on disc 3.
4. Will skip FFXIII-2.
5. May get LR for 60fps.

Yep, such a shame...
Oh, that makes sense, although I wouldn't have been surprised either way. Should be an optional download then.

It's clear to me, especially in the first pic. Look at the purple amusement park-looking thing. It looks blurrier in the first pic.

You would think we could have an option to opt out. They probably figured the otakus of america would have strokes if the jap audio wasn't in. Doesn't matter to me but I feel they would be right about that.

locked 720p, random framerate drops on a GPU that should run circles around this game, compressed videos
I wish I could go back in time and punch myself in the face for buying this
Last time I'm ever pre-ordering a Square-Enix game, fuck "showing support for Japanese games"

Can anyone confirm if you can delete/empty out the video files for the language you're not using, and the game still runs?
I see. I've just found out that my characters' voices are on "mute." Will try switching to English to see if it fixes it.

Square co-working with Ninja Theory?!

Is it just me, or do the CGI cutscenes have TERRIBLE audio quality? Sounds like im listening through a phone...

60fps is really awesome, but that 720p...
Seriously? Slightly better cutscenes as opposed to twice the framerate, and the ability to force AA and AF? Come on now.

How did Square do such a poor port when every other recent FF PC game wasn't too bad?

Obviously, the port isn't perfect, but dual audio makes it the definitive version for me. I'm confident we'll see a resolution fix and possibly even a cut scene fix (though the quality isn't THAT bad).

Every FF game on Steam except for VII and VIII are bad ports though....
Don't use motionjoy it's a spyware. Use Xinput Wrapper instead.

No 21:9 support, no AA, no shadow quality, no texture settings, no AF, not even the ability to change resolution, absolutely nothing. Why am I not surprised.
I do wonder why the PC version is 60GB vs the 37GB of the PS3 version. The dual language can't make up the 23GB difference right.

Not to mention the cutscenes can probably be modded very easily.
