I already played it on PS3, I'm a big FF fan but after Fable Anniversary I don't trust in games ported from consoles anymore

"Additional Notes: A game controller using Xinput is reccomended for this game. (If using a DirectInput based controller, please use the driver side key configuration to adjust settings as required )"

That basically confirms that mouse/keyboard controls will be crappy

In other words, a worse effort put into it than FFIII

XIII sucked in all aspects compared to the previous FF games. (well except graphics, but that's a given)
And XIII-II sucked even more so that I never played it again after the main story.
Lightning returns is meh tier.

Seriously. I was really dissapointed with this particular saga

In it's defense, FFIII was a great remake as a DS title. Then they did absolutely nothing to it for the iOS, Android and PC ports. It's hilarious to consider that the base price point is still $15 for a PC version of a 2006 DS game.

Okay. I lied, they put "HD" textures onto the models.

I am kinda tempted to try my hand at modding it though, since most of FF3's scripts for PC are essentially plaintext. I would suppose the same is likely true for FFIV as well. Anyways, sorry for the digression.

Guess i'm the only person who likes FF13 on here then ;_;. Now if they just bring FF9 on PC we have all the good ones.

No no you aren't, I love it too but I don't think the PC version would be worth the money if you already got it for PS3.
But then again it's only ~12€ on steam so I might get it anyways~

I'm getting on PC because I want more FF games on PC and the PS3 version feels like it runs at 20 fps at times.

But... You're kinda missing the best FF ever! FF6 is always forgotten ;A;

General FF Thread? Generall FF Thread. I'm currently playing through X on the Vita, since I missed it on PS2. So far, there have been quite a few cutscenes that have left me cringing at the tacky dubbing, but I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt for the time being. At the very least, having a future protagonist being the narrator is kinda unique to the series.

I pre-ordered it on steam, hopefully going to get into it before some other games bring me in

Still one of the most popular ones, but yeah, tied for my favourite. Wrote a paper in uni on it, even.

As far as FFXIII being on PC is concerned, well...it'll make me more tempted to replay it, at least. Not my favourite entry in the franchise by a long shot but it's not the worst thing I've ever played. Decent stream fodder, probably.

I will still play it, but the 2 other games in the trilogy I will definantly wait and see how it goes first. I bought FF13 cuz Squere has a good track record on ports atleast in recent years.

Unless you're using a PS4 controller, face buttons for gamepads are a mixed bag in terms of being right, and there is no option to fix them or change them. Even Xbox 360 controllers have been having issues with swapped button mappings and the like. x360ce doesn't work to emulate xInput, either.

Pressing Escape will just kill the process, ending your game regardless of progress made without so much as an issue, whereas alt + f4 brings up a menu.

Hopefully the dev will listen too feedback and fix it. I have seen them around the community hub and seeing as how japanese audio was eventually added to the global release they have listened a bit. From what I hear this is worse then the Dark Souls 1 port.

Well it's about learning the boss and learning when to do stuff. All "One Shots" in the game can be avoided by simply healing.

Also you can skip the cutscenes. At least on Ps3 you could, haven't tried the PC version yet (still downloading for almost 30 hours)

After having played it for 5-6 hours the only way too play is to limit yourself to 30 fps and render the game at some ridicules resolution with Gedosato. Then Downscaling to 720p cuz the text is horrible too look at on 1080p. And still have framedrops everywhere.

I call bullshit

There's only 2 difficulties, easy and normal, which makes no damn sense, and the fact that these one shots come at a random time

Therefore, I can't switch my shift from Relentless Assault to the healing shift in time when it casts Crystal Rain

Am I supposed to not play as Lightning?

Well at least this one is smaller since they used a different compression method for the prerenders.

I could spend 10 minutes in the beatmap editor with nothing but a keyboard and still make a better Final Fantasy game than this. :x Utter waste of bandwidth.

Everyone has their taste in what FF game they like. Personally this is my second favorite behind FF9 and then FF6 comes at a every close third.

FFXIII was one of my favorites as well (although I've only played a few), I played it through on both PS3 and Xbox360, but never 100% all the side-quests etc. From FFXIII-2, which I didn't really like that much compared to the first one of the trilogy, I got the platinum trophy since it was lot easier than in FFXIII, although I'm planning to 100% that one day too. I'm planning to get the Steam version out of FFXIII at least, but need to get a new HDD first, lol, this one's way too packed ;w; Plus I'm still in the middle of LR:FFXIII so... yeah.

Great thing they patched in graphic options, anyway

1080p patch came and there are small black bars on each side... wonderful.

The patch doesn't do anything, you could already adjust the resolution by using GeDoSaTo. They didn't even bother adjusting the font resolution which makes the game horrible to look at.
FPS issues are still there as well, this is a bad joke.

The problem is the abysmal framerate.

I can't play this on PC because the frames are just so crappy. I'll never hate the game though <3
I already can't deal with them on consoles anyway, ugh.

I have framedrops in 2 really large gran pulse areas but that's all :\ in fight it's ok. But yeah it's always annoying to have framedrops. I'm kinda used to it because i play skyrim with a really heavy ENB and almost infinite LOD so if i turn the camera in a certain direction i can get ridiculous framedrops. It's like have a sun ray right in the eye when you're outside :p i can handle it...

I'm replaying the game on PS3 right now because the frame rate is noticibly better and there are much less frame drops
Not sure if it's just me but games (in general) feel a lot smoother if you play them on a bigger screen with ~4m distance between you and the TV. Might have to do something with eyes not being able to notice lower framerates in the far but idk, maybe I'm just imagining things~

No, I agree completely.

But maybe on PS3 it's significantly better because of course the better graphics versus the 360.
In my experience of playing between the three, it would have to be PS3 > XBOX > PC in terms of the lower framerates. On PC, I get terrible drops when I'm on top of Taejin's Tower and yeah, patches of Gran Pulse here. Sometimes a small drop when I'm in Sulyya Springs.

Imagine when FFXIII Lightning Returns comes out on PC (if it hasn't already). There's already a mega frame rate drop when one of the monsters spawn and crap. It's terrrrrrrrrible.

Exactly. I'm playing a few games this way (my laptop closed, linked by HDMI to TV, controls from an XBOX pad). I started doing it for Dark Souls and Sonic and now that i'm used to it i tried playing heavy games this way. Even if the resolution seems cheaper, i looks smooth because of the distance. The problem is that i cant play most of my games with the controler... and rogue-like and bullet hells (80% of my playtime) looks awfull on TV. But it surely depends of the TV. Back to the original topic : FFXII, even PC version, looks better on TV (same for sonic adv2, and both games were designed for consoles).
