Square Enix has published the patch notes for Final Fantasy 16's next update, which is set to drop on the 18th April alongside The Rising Tide DLC. They're surprisingly lengthy, and cover a lot of stuff that was never actually mentioned by the developer upon the update's announcement last month.
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.
Whoa! That is a lot. I think it’s time for me to replay in Final Fantasy mode
This perfectly exemplifies why I choose to wait quite a while to buy ‘new’ games. This meaty patch basically makes the game an improved experience overall from what it originally was. My first impression and experiences of the game will arguably be ‘better’ than it would have been otherwise.
Have there been any improvements to the performance mode in recent updates? The game seemed great, but I wasn't pleased with the way it looked in performance mode. I'm hoping there is a major Pro update.
Looking to grab this in the future...not yet though..too much to play
No minigames?
No playable party members?
No fixing the boring environments?
No actual rpg mechanics?
This turd polish 'patch' is just a scam now.
