Gameinformer : We spoke to Final Fantasy XVI producer Naoki Yoshida about the game's in-development PC version.
Shaz from GL: "FFXVI contentiously rid the series' turn-based origins in favour of character-action. The result? A spectacularly fun system that rewards offense."
Proton Experimental got a new update yesterday that improves Final Fantasy 16, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and more.
So much hassle people had for FF16 performance on PS5 to hit PC and still be barely playable. FF16 is hitting the crysis “can it run it” for PCs.
And now I’m genuinely wondering is it because the devs failed to properly design the game or is it because it is over ambitious.
The game was optimized specifically for the PS5 and even so it makes that console creak....wonder how the Pro will handle it....
As a lifelong Final Fantasy fan, I’ve fought against seemingly impossible odds and collected more Phoenix Downs than I’d like to admit. In fact, I think I have spent more time as Cloud and Squall than I have as myself. Not that it wasn’t expected, but the PC port kind of came from nowhere. Square Enix announced a Final Fantasy 16 PC port that mirrors the PlayStation 5 version. Naturally, as a series veteran, my excitement levels were through the roof.
did they optimize the gameplay and side characters?
Ending made me cry, but the game was not very good besides the awesome character designs. No sense of discovery and exploration, no RPG progression/systems. Was just a linear action game
I get tired of the same hash about this game. It’s a really good title. Most the people complaining are not the ones who played it. “It’s not a true JRPG”, got it.. it’s an action RPG and does it well. Gameplay was fun, and the story was arguably probably one of finest I’ve seen in a while in a Final Fantasy title.. nothing really bad whatsoever.
Some side missions may have gotten a little redundant like other Final Fantasy games. But it’s a fine piece in my collection of games.
Well I hope this does well on the PC so we can see more content in the future.. I hope they optimize it well.. some of the other titles that PlayStation games release don’t play well and are buggy and hopefully that’s not the case with this game.
great game!
The best thing about the PC version will be a mod that gets rid of that disgusting purple filter that happens after a certain point in the story, and never goes away. Ruined the entire atmosphere of the game.
