Game looks insane at native 1080p 60FPS. Downloading now but the bytch is 60GBs.

People saying its just a port and theres no graphical difference.

Yea, Squeenix strikes again with a PC Port.

shyt is 720p / 30fps. The only graphical options are full screen/ windowed mode.

Luckily Durante already has a fix up, but it's a pre alpha build so it's not perfect.

I'm not going to fault Squeenix too much because you have to remember, this game was designed from the ground up for the Power PC based Playstation 3, then was later ported over to the 360 (with a similar architecture) mid development. Porting over to an x86 is not an easy task (ask Naughty Dog about TLoU Remastered). But if ND pulled it off, and a modder managed to get a fix up right after release... Then is shows SE clearly didn't try hard enough for a respectful port.

Honestly, it has a middle of the road story, as far as Final Fantasy games go, but my true love for the characters and the battle system kept me playing. It's not Grandia like as far as greatness in battle system but it is pretty damn good. However, no one still does presentation like Square.

Game looks ridiculously sharp and detailed when downsampling from 4K to 1080P. The game has a issue with utilizing the GPU efficiently as no matter which methodology I've tried I cannot get the game to stay at 60fps. It doesn't matter if I set it the Gedosatotool to 4K or have it at 1080P it still behaves the same. I've been toying with it all day and I just left it the way it is. Capping at 30fps seems to not working either.

Edit:Well putting the game at 1080P/60 it seems to have improved the performance. 1440P/60fps results in dips in battle that seem to happen instantaneously back and forth. One second 30 another 60. *sigh* It looks great though.

I keep getting excessive screen tearing. Not sure how to get rid of it. Turned on adaptive vsync and vsync and still there.

I saw this on GAF:

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but for anyone that:

• Has an NVIDIA card
• Is capping at 30FPS for the moment
• Getting screen tear

...you can use NVIDIA Inspector to solve it. Make sure you have the most up to date version (when you open Inspector, it'll tell you at the bottom if your version isn't up to date, just click it and let it update) and create a profile for FF13. Name it whatever, and link the ffxiiiimg.exe to the profile.

In the second section called "Sync and Refresh", the first option is "Frame Rame Limiter". Put it at 30FPS and hit Apply Changes in the top right.

Go into your profile into Control Panel and remove Adaptive (Half) if you had it on. If you used something else to cap, remove that restriction in the respective program. Bada-bing, bada-boom, no more tearing

I noticed the screen tear too and it's an odd diagonal tear. I'm still messing around with the settings on Gedosatotool and I'm in a dilemma. I'm not sure if I want 4K/30fps(with dips) or 1440P/~60fps. Granted my 4K settings were kind of extreme so I'll try lowering a few things..

Go figure.

Disabling the HUD (remove the # symbol next to the disablehud line in the edit keybindings in gedosatotool) gives me 60fps in battles. Even at 4K I get 60fps. Turning it on drops the frames. The numbers are borking the framerate.
