Hopefully the resolution is fixed yet again. I thought FFXIII-2 wasn't locked at launch so this is a step back right?
Hehehehe.
"Framerate is solid 60 frames per second so far even in battle."
No. Fucking. Way.
I was expecting 1 frame / dollar at best. 3 frames / dollar is a blessing from the Goddess.

Which controller? Someone mentioned the first 2 games having issues with the wireless adapter for xb1 controller.
That is par for the course for Japanese PC games (Read: Visual Novels).
EDIT: And Danmaku too, I guess.
360. IIRC those issues were with the controls themselves. The controller works fine, I am having issues with the on screen prompts reverting to KBAM. If I reboot the game, it changes the settings, if I start a game, etc.
Change the setting and then save the game.
I think the previous games were like that as well, it doesn't have overall settings saved, but rather all settings are save specific.
That explains it then.
It makes me wonder if the port was handled by different people than the other two.

My favorite FFXIII game. Wasn't expecting to have such a blast with it.

Wow, because of the exchange rate with the Canadian dollar, it's actually cheaper to buy on Steam than to use the GMG coupon. Damn. lol

Holy crap, it looks beautiful at 60fps. I would love if they remastered the games for PS4.

yup. Hopefully I can get a solid 60fps.
Soooo... the game is locked to 1080p.

EDIT: You even get the message in the beginning that you shouldn't turn off your PS3-System during autosave
Nice to know that it's a port from PS3 and not XBox like the previous two games.

Damn - that looks really solid.
Suddenly I have no urge to finish XIII-2 anymore.. seeing that this game apparently runs so much better on PC.

Wait, 1080p lock?
But didn't the 1st game let you use whichever resolution you wanted?

Not at first. They patched it in later because of how annoyed people were.
Seems they forgot about that already.
Well right now it crashes is GeDoSaTo is active. Tried delayDetouring but looks like that's been axed in the latest build. The options 'task bar' if fucking crackers you have pretty much 2 states for every setting that are either Standard or Advanced with no description exactly what's going on. I mean scale display area is No Scaling which leaves the image window boxed, Standard which scales the image to the full size of your desktop res and Advanced which... does the same as Standard? Fuck knows. Here's the rest
Colour Correction, Standard or Advanced.
Glare Adjustment, Standard or Advanced.
Depth of Filed Adjustment, Standard or Advanced.
Shadowing, Standard or Advanced.
Lighting, Standard or Advanced.
Texture Filtering, Standard or Advanced.
Frame Rate, Fixed or Dynamic
Fixed is 30fps and Dynamic goes to 60. Oh and Full Screen is actually Borderless Windowed.
Performance wise well even at the maximum the game will let me use my card had seriously downclocked itself to about 3 thirds of it's core frequency and then only at 30-35% GPU utilisation. Not really done much bar the tutorial battle but will have a nosey about the more open bits I can in the opening,

He's staying out of this one I think
Going AWAY from arbitrary resolutions when you had them before is a big no no on his list (as it should be)
Can't blame him
Works fine, I'm using the Elite Controller.
Great, thanks.
Tried it out for a bit with a DS3. Working really well. The entire interface and port job is obviously very hastily hacked together and everything feels like a console to PC port rather than something with more polish, but at least it seems to work well as it is. Loading is fast, framerate seems good, resolution is high enough, and it supports dual language natively, although you have to restart the game for voice changes to take effect.
So far it seems well worth the low price I paid for it!

SO, 1080p lock, no true full screen (meaning no vsync on W7) like Type-0?
Their bumbling incompetence and lack of care for anything but a quick buck continues.
1998-2015 nothing but mediocre ports that can't comprehend basic things.
If it's a pre-rendered FMV, it's very likely it's worse quality than the PS3 version like the last two releases.

Only 11,52 on greenmangaming. That's a great price. I thought it was more expensive.
I'm so exited. I really like the first two games but never came around playing Lightning Returns on PS3 and when it was announced for PC I decided to wait for it instead and then there was the long delay. But now it's finally here.

Quality isn't great, but then the download is tiny. It would have been nice to have a 'Blu-Ray' quality add-on for the CG.

Weren't there last releases based on the Xbox version? This seems the ps3 version

Even thought their ports are far from perfect, I disagree with your comment. These are okay ports and when you think of it, the only thing remaining is arbitrary resolution. Western branches really needs to communicate on that. At least, this one is 1080p, features newer graphical effects and no framepacing issue. More than that, it's 60FPS. It's still a difference with the 720p 15~30FPS console version.

Gonna take a while to download but I'm glad to hear it's running smoother than most expected. Think this is a good time to wrap up my FF12 playthrough.
Hope everyone has fun playing goddess dressup at 60fps!

If you mean the FMVs, they actually weren't. They did re-encode all videos for the PC release on FFXIII as bink2 video files with significantly better quality than the 360 version (which uses bink1 and are even at a lower resolution) but still noticeable worse than the PS3 version.
Any stutter at all? Pretty smooth feeling overall?
