It was a fun game, a year ago.

 

[rodrigolfp]

Denuvo = will $10 at maximum.

 

[near]

Does the demo required the same space as the full game?

No. The demo is 16.5GB.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I liked it a lot. First FF game I've played. I still gotta do the DLC at some point. I'm about nowhere in Rebirth though.

 

[proandrad]

I finally can play the best Final Fantasy at a high stable framerate with decent resolution.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Downloading a demo just to see how this game will hammer my PC.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Good on them for not making it a full priced release.

First thought that came to mind when I saw the price. Surprising they aren't gouging for a late port.

Sony take note

 

[analog_future]

Surprisingly great price at $50. Day one purchase for me!


Downloading the demo now. Excited to see what my 7800X3D/4090 combo can do with this one.

The fact that the Until Dawn port is $10 more than this is just... embarrassing.

Because if it's coming to Xbox and PC you announce it simultaneously

It at least seems to invalidate that it's coming to Xbox anytime in the next 1-3 months, otherwise no reason to hold out on an announcement for that platform.

Maybe they finally get it in early 2025, maybe not. But it coming to Steam & EGS first just takes a lot of the wind out of what future sales Xbox could bring for the game. Probably won't be worth it for SE by that point unless there's a fat, lucrative Game Pass deal involved .

At best, it gets announced as part of Xbox's stream on gamescom (like how the Persona 3/4/5 ports weren't announced for all platforms at the same time), at worst, it's a bit late.

Demo progress carries over if it wasn't mentioned:

Source: the fucking demo

 

[GHG]

For anyone with a Nvidia GPU don't forget to grab the latest drivers if you're going to try the demo:

GeForce Game Ready Driver | 560.81 | Windows 10 64-bit, Windows 11 | NVIDIA

Download the English (US) GeForce Game Ready Driver for Windows 10 64-bit, Windows 11 systems. Released 2024.8.6

www.nvidia.com

Those drivers have a FF XVI profile in them.

 

[Mercador]

Yeah FF7 Rebirth is still 94CDN on my side of the border... 67CDN for FFXVI.

Dropping truth bombs as the boss that you are.

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

Well, tried the demo on 4080/5800x3d/32gb ram.

Let's say that sys reqs are quite optimistic, cutscenes are locked 30 and theres slight stutter and blurred IQ with DLSS3. Honestly, it felt smoother on PS5 Quality mode.

Game still looks outstanding, mind you. But the fact that PS5 runs it at all is pure wizardry.

 

[FoxMcChief]

So much for Xbox rumors. I'll gladly double-dip.

PC=Xbox

duh

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

I was extremely disappointed with this game. It bored me to tears.

The boss/Eikon fights were amazing though. I’m going to try the demo just to see the eye candy on my 4090.

Coping is not a crime I guess.

 

[peish]

downloaded the demo, game cant start, popup box says graphics driver is incompatible!

wtf is this a first?

Yes i have not updated to latest nvidia drivers, but mine drivers are this year's!

 

[OverHeat]

Will buy day 0

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

What drivers are you running?

560.81, game is on gen4 ssd too.

 

[Celcius]

I'm glad that it's here but

Splatoon 3 final splatfest
Persona 3 Reload Episode Aigis
and now this
all basically dropping at the same time... a good problem to have I supposed

 

[FoxMcChief]

I really need to restart this. Maybe after Mafia.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Awesome game, best final fantasy since the ps2 era

Enjoy

 

[GHG]

560.81, game is on gen4 ssd too.

I'll try it on my 4090 system later but can't say I'm overly optimistic after reading that.

 

[Sanepar]

Ragnarok and FF16 on the same month! God is good!

Is it though? Watching from outside when the game launched, it seems the most divisive FF to date. I'm really perplexed if I should even buy it..

What settings on PC though?
I imagine that Digital foundry would find the console equivalent settings that boosts up performances. A variation of low-medium. There's no "magic" typically.

Note that it's 1440p all ultra with DLSS 3 w/o framegen and with VRS off.

Game is pre-comiling shaders on the first boot too.

Would you not recommend it this year?

Doesn't need to necessarily be "magic", just poor PC optimisation.

Wouldn't be the first time we've seen it.

Final Fantasy XVI Producer Teases Xbox Port

We recently interviewed Final Fantasy XVI staff at PAX East 2024, namely producer Naoki Yoshida and DLC director Takeo Kujiraoka, where the idea of an Xbox port was indirectly teased.

So, is it tough for you and the team to say goodbye to all these characters in this DLC?

It's not over in the sense that we have the PC version. Once the PC version is released, we're thinking about hopefully moving to other platforms as well.

PS.Which does not mean that I am accepting the credibility of this supposed "insider." In fact I don't and for some reason he has me blocked

 

[Hrk69]

Runs like a dream for me

But are the cut-scenes locked @30 fps?

 

[OverHeat]

 

[Celcius]

Just preordered the complete edition. Let's goooooooo

I believe they are. Artistic decision.

Can’t wait! Never finished it on PS5. Time for the proper experience.

This particular scene is a video file hence 30fps lock. Real time cutscenes run at stable 60fps on PS5. More stable than some gameplay iirc.

The sad thing is this might be true

Master Race keep on winning

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

This particular scene is a video file hence 30fps lock. Real time cutscenes run at stable 60fps on PS5. More stable than some gameplay iirc.

There are a lot of clearly in-game cutscenes that are locked to 30fps and that are stuttering while loading assets.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

The sad thing is this might be true

Nah I’d easily take XIII or even XV over XVI.

 

[ChiefDada]

So, Xbox version is dead?

Prerequisite for death is life. So no, Xbox version isn't dead.

 

[Darsxx82]

You guys right now:

That is rather the image that describes those who seem to celebrate the fact that it is not released on XBOX more than its launch and be playing on PC.

 

[stn]

I really liked it despite its story and pacing flaws. Hopefully the PC version gets some good mods.
