Awesome that the demo will also be available on pc

It’s not a great game

After Nixxes got bought out, Square’s pc ports weren’t good. I guess we’ll see what there’ll be

I want path tracing! It will never happen though….

16 is sooooo good! Amazing freakin game!!

This game was always confirmed as coming to PC, nothing has changed on that front. In fact, the Sony timed exclusive ended a while ago, so it’s not unrealistic to assume that the additional delay is due to development time. That, or they didnt want to release too close to Rebirth.

Id like to know whether the deal they made was also a time exclusive for console. Would be cool to see FF16 on console, I have a number of friends on Series X that would love to play it

my least favorite final fantasy

Based on the ps5 and the progress updates from the team, I think it will be a good port. My goal for this is 60 fps and native resolution. 60 fps felt very fluid for me, but he dynamic resolution hurt at some points.

Since 16 and 14 is the same engine. I assume we will see DLSS and FSR since 14 got them recently. I think the versions are slightly older than current versions.

hoping for a mod that gives it actual RPG mechanics

I played it on PS5, best game since 2020 for me and i will buy it again on PC to play on max graphic and framerate

Can’t wait for the full penetration mod.

Only 3 days left on 20th Aug we will get good news

Shame that the leak indicates that the port will come out early next year. Square said this game would come out this year but I guess they’re having more trouble than they thought optimizing it and internally delayed it.

Been replaying FF15 on PC, and yeah for the most part it’s a good port, although I’ve started noticing some bugs lately that I didn’t experience on my first playthrough, like Grass and Trees occasionally vanishing/flickering.

Looking forward to 16 on PC, hoping the port turns out good

I love FF16! Easilly my favorite FF and this is the perfect oportunity for Square to deliver what we need.

There actually was official news of the PC port 0:26
Naoki Yoshida announced it a while back in a twitter video that the official final fantasy twitter account posted.

Why I am positive:
Looks like they are trying harder.
21:9 confirmed, UW monitor or not this shows some level of care.
They went on about final stages of optimization, I highly FF7R had any stage of anything during its port

Why I am worried:
SE game. SE always do bad ports
the game had poor framerate on PS5 even with the quite low resolution.

But it’s already on PC… it’s on YouTube

I’m more than happy to buy another copy of this game but this time for PC. I don’t think they will add many new graphic features but just playing it at higher frame rate and resolution is enough for me. Not to mention cutscenes are gonna look great at 60 FPS.

I can’t wait to play FF16 on PC!!
Squeenix can take all the time they need but they must deliver a perfect game experience with no bugs and no performance issues or I will never buy another FF on release day again!

the frame rate is terrible on the PS5 so i cant see it being very optimised on the PC.. also i cant see it running at all on the series s

My hopes
– DLSS and FSR3.1 (Upscaling at least), but keep the TSCMAA+FSR1 solution for Dynamic Res as while it is eh at a 720p internal target at least on a TV. It actually worked surprisingly well at the 1440p Internal res, so for systems that lack the compute headroom for FSR3.1/XeSS it would be a good fallback as it can work pretty decently in FFXIV (which has a lot of it’s graphical update predicated off of the work done in FFXVI), at least assuming you install a plugin to re-enable Camera Jitter in Cutscenes (as they disable it there for some reason???)
– Improvements to SSR
– Increased Shadow Resolutions (As while the shadows are very impressive for focus characters, the general shadowmap res that the method they use is seemingly not the highest? Particularly visible in environments and incidental detail shadows.)
-Peak hope feature would be them adding RTGI/Reflections or even Shadows. Or just outright Path Tracing. The Game has impeccable rendering already so having the ability to make it mostly real time ala Alan Wake 2 would be awesome.

I think DLSS at least is a given. They released a huge graphics update for XIV with the latest expansion that added DLSS to the game, so I’d be shocked if XVI doesn’t have it

it will be shit like always from them. even the original final fantasy 7 pc port from the 90s was sub par.

I’d say that it’s very likely (if not guaranteed) that Final Fantasy XVI will get a PC release. Maybe we’ll also get a ‘Complete’ version on PS5 with all the DLC and a new PS5 Pro patch (or something to prepare for one) as well.

What about ff7 rebirth on pc? Y’know, so we can actually play the game at a decent resolution.

I’m sorry, but if Square don’t release this on Xbox, I wish them nothing but the worst. Such a scummy move.

Ok good, glad I skipped the PS5 version. Usually when I beat games on PS5, I have no interest in playing it again, even if it’s on PC.

I’m so happy Square Enix is getting out of this partnership with Sony, it makes no sense to limit your game to platforms when you’re not a first party developer

Can rog ally x run it tho
