From the best abilities to their rotation in combat, learn everything that makes the best build to use in The Rising Tide DLC for FF16.
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.
Too many variances in the PC ecosystem. They can attempt to optimize to a point but ultimately, as it is in most cases, individuals will have to tweak settings to get their rig to run the game at its subjective best. Me personally, I enjoy a no fuss console experience but must admit I'm getting into the simplistic steam deck tweaks.
that's just nonsense, square is just bad at ports and have been for years. Japanese ports were notorious for it a good while, but it has gotten better but still nothing to write home about. Take FF7R pt1 for example, at launch on pc there were frequent random fps drops for no reason and a guy, a single guy got a patch out within 2 days that fixed it, if that doesn't say enough about their incompetency with pc ports then idk.
I don't know how people are getting such poor performance. It ran well for me +60fps at 1440p dlss balanced, all high settings. I'm on a i7-8700, 32gb ram, and 3080, so a pretty old setup. I get very few stutters, and it's buttery smooth if i cut the shadows down to medium settings. cut scenes have been modded to run at 60fps.
It's sitting at "mostly positive reviews' on steam. With most of the complaints coming from those with said poor performance. By absolutely no means is this a perfect / great port, but it's not god awful. Seems like it's a hardware issue on the customers end, and issues with the port itself.
This is talking about proton tho. It's expected for games to run poorly because they aren't natively running on Linux. I will agree however that Square has a history of putting out horribly running games on PC.
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.
