They could be saving it for the Gamescom show.

At that price, that is a very acceptable price for a late port. And let's hope it's also steam deck certified

Oh interesting can someone who played on PS5 confirm? I only played in performance mode for a brief period during playthrough just to try out but I recall the real time cutscenes being able to maintain 60fps relatively well.
At least you are honest in acknowledging it.

In Quality a lot of heavy 30fps cutscenes are dipping below 25 on PS5.

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.
No, you have it wrong people aren't just celebrating the fact that it's still not releasing on Xbox.
They're celebrating both.

They really want this to succeed. I hadn't planned on buying it this year, but... let's see if the demo changes my mind.Demo progress carries over if it wasn't mentioned:

Game runs fine, shader compilation step at the start as well. Looks great with DLAA but nothing other then DLSS/XeSS and framegen support caught my eye. No 21:9+ support in 2024 for a title likes this is pure nonsense though, I wont purchase it if that doesn't get fixed, or modders fix Squares incompetence again.

Wow, no 21:9 support, same junk as FF7 Remake and needed a mod.

Honestly I think the other guy hasnt tried the game long enough to see how bad the stuttering is because many people and even friends of mine are complaining about it

Please, please, please... anyone just now trying the demo, take these words to heart. The demo is, quite literally, the best part of the game. Do not buy this game based on the demo.

Well, at least now you know it's realtime.

Running well over 100fps, maxed out settings, 4K DLAA w/Frame Gen on my 7800X3D/4090 combo. Cutscenes are capped at 30fps right now though which is annoying.
A few shots, nothing super special yet as I'm still in the beginning:

It is interesting to detect a bottleneck though. Maybe it's CPU-bound?

There is stuttering but it’s when the game drops to the 30fps cutscenes. It’s massively jarring going from 120fps+ down to 30fps and it happens so frequently at the beginning due to all the cutscenes at the start.

Nice. I'm a step or two down with a 4070 Ti Super but also happily play at 1440p. Hoping to hit high (but stable!) fps as that was the big killer for me on PS5.
An obnoxious choice I wish devs would stop doing. If we're lucky modders will have that shit fixed within a day or two.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
I'll echo this again because it can't be stated enough. The intro of this game was glorious - after playing it on PS5 I immediately pre-ordered the game. Turns out, the demo (story, combat, gameplay loops) are almost nothing like the rest of the game. A real shame, because this started off on such a high note.

This pisses me off so much honestly. Didn't FFXV support it natively?
Should be an easy fix of course but wow, are all japanese devs morons?

Regarding 21:9 support:

Final Fantasy XVI PC Version Will Support Frame Rate Over 100 FPS, Ultra Wide, & Mouse/KB
The upcoming PC version of Final Fantasy XVI will support a frame rate of over 100 fps, ultra wide displays, and mouse and keyboard controls.

But you're not buying it right. Because it stinks and hasn't hit $20.

LMAO only $50 huh
I guess it is more than a year late but Square Enix not wanting money is a strange change of strategy for them

Demo issues so far (5800x3d and 7800xt):
- The initial intro scene is pretty bad with stutters (even though the first thing it did was compile shaders
) - Not sure whats going on there. I noticed GPU usage was lower than usual and fluctuating alot.
- The other sections of the game seem to run pretty decent - i only got to the commander part and im pushing 70-80 fps.
- Motion Blur and VRS disabled, Sharpness maxed out : its defintely still on the blurrier side. There's definitely other motion crap enabled somewhere. Its not too bad, but noticeble.
- No ultrawide ( tested 21:9 ) support - thats not good!
- Frame rate and upscaling options are quite solid.
- No aspect ratio settings (for those who dont rely solely on resolution).
- Cutscenes are 30 fps - its jarring going from 100 fps+ in-game to 30 though. Hopefully a mod fixes that.
- HDR needs to be toggled in Windows beforehand - Ehh. (Edit, Nope - seems only Fullscreen mode can enable/disable)
- AA is ok at 1440p native. Its noticeable if you focus hard enough but those who add more sharpening, will defintely notice jaggies faster.
- Enabling/Disabling FSR 3 frame generation is giving me an error - then hard crashing my PC. It locks up, needing a hard reboot. Not good! Edit (Get around it by enabling the FSR 1 mode first
)
- I noticed some weird blurriness around characters and assets(rocks) in the distance - and its not VRS either
- FSR 3 works really well in this game - im seeing a 35-50% improvement without frame Gen on 'quality'. There's a very minimal visual hit too at 1440p. Nice!
All in all, its aceptable in the current state but it defintely needs patches. For those of you who are sensitive, id defintily hold out before buying.
Also for AMD users, 24.8.1 is coming soon : Unsure if that will magically fix somthing. It's worth a shot though

no 21:9 wtf
the starting parts with shiva titan has cutscenes stutters even though steam fps shows solid 30fps
at default max settings, it comes with max upscaling, it looks soft like ps5, not as soft but soft by pc standards. fps is very smooth once you control young clive
did they redo the lip synching? looks better than i remembered

the shiva titan parts do have stutters in cutscenes. but the next stage is very smooth.
the loading is super fast!
the default upscaling settings...3440x1440 ultra preset with dlss3 and dynamic resolution. (i.e auto choosen by the game)
look at the 2d pixel art!

From how it ran on the PS5, it was obvious it'd require really high-end hardware. Performance itself isn't much of an issue, DLSS and frame-gen can get you decent numbers. It's the darn stuttering that kills it like many recent PC games.
