Final Fantasy 15 Director Talks Demo Frame Rate, Resolution, DLC, More

Before we start getting on Square-Enix on failing to showcase a high frame rate we should ask them why they decided to showcase such a boring demo as a first impression in the first place? Seriously, what is up with peoples priorities today? I didn't leave that demo being like "well if they want me to order this game they better fix that framerate." I was too busy trying to stay awake.

It's weird since it actually looked like a tech demo to showcase in-game effects such as rain/sunny or day/night. Anyway although it wasn't impressive graphics wise I loved the art direction and settings.

PC/Steam gamers, just wait. Dragon Quest Heroes got a PC/Steam release almost a week after the giant PS4 launch, and it was on no one's radar. Square Enix has a habit of keeping their PC releases hush-hush to not cut into console sales.

For those who are solely PC/Steam gamers without a PS4/XB1, this is a non-issue. For those who also own a PS4/XB1, just be patient and don't pre-order, unless you REALLY want one of those Collector's Editions (there's a 99% chance there will NOT be a PC Collector's Edition if there's a PC release. Square Enix tends to be 100% digital release on PC, except for the two MMOs.)

I don't think anyone should be overly concerned with resolution comparisons at this point.

PS4 will likely have a slight visual edge, locked closer to 30fps. XBO will probably be not as sharp with some resolution scaling.

We've been down this road a number of times.

They should rather talk about the combat system. I played the platinum demo and it was ass.

Game looked good enough on the tv i play my games which is 1080 not my main 4k tv.

their are some flaws but square knew that or they wouldnt have given a demo u can smack down.

i liked what i saw and will enjoy the game to the fullest.

pc people need to remember that console players dont care you can do better.

im in my couch holding a perfect(ps4) controller.

i dont and never want to be a pc gamer anymore.

I was pumped for this game, but after trying the combat, I'm left very disappointed. The combat is a dynamic auto select to attack, not aim and attack. Dodging and moving around was also sluggish... The boss fight was pretty bad because of this.

played both the ps4 and x1 versions. PS4 version looks marginally better but hardly anything to brag about. Framerate felt the same on both. Overall..............no difference really.

I learnt my lesson with this "next consoles", I think if you have a good pc, stick with it. Not getting my worth from my console...at least not yet.

I just ordered a hooker, but she didn't get me off...but hopefully this game will.

I haven't felt the framerate issue. Was surprised it was a problem. And for me, the problem is not resolution either. However, something with the art direction and texture application (and details) are off. At the beginning, the rocks look very fake, and that is not a problem with resolution, it is a problem of art. THe original Gears of War had better texture than that. THe scene where young Noctis is in that room with the table has some off elements as well: books with very poor quality texture (low res) and other elements (like the floor) very shiny and beautiful. SOme elements cast shadows, others don't.

I mean, the first demo had the same problem. Everything looked fake, plastic. And to be honest, I don't think the final product will improve much from that. It won't matter if you play it on a power horse PC or PS4.5 ... the art direction will be the same.

But I loved how the game plays and the character animation, so I think they should be selling other aspects of the game, since it won't be the visual benchmark they are trying to sell.

Tabata promised an ending to be super emotional that will leave players in tears like Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core and Final Fantasy Type-0.

Here's my bet:

1: All 4 of them die at the end.

2: This is the most likely...all 3 of them will give their life at the end protecting Noctis so he can reclaim the throne...that's why they are in a road trip together during the entire game, so the players get attached to all of them just so the game gives us that blow to the stomach and drops us in tears when they die protecting Noctis.

Who agrees with the 2nd one raise ur hands.

Mention frame rate and a console war starts. Imagine that. It's ridiculous how much people fight over it. Video games are just glorified toys. Not a way of life.

Guys, PC version will come eventually. However, SE can't announce it, and won't launch it at the same time as console. The main reason for this is because the PC version will be much superior, and no one would buy the game on console if all versions were released at the same time. So they need to make some money on console first, and then they release PC version to make money on PC too. That's how they can milk money on all platform.

I guarantee people like myself who started playing final fantasy since part one can appreciate this game.
