Sucks this game is coming out right at the time of FF14 ARR. I guess I'll pick this up a bit later

Game just gives me black screen and tabs down, gonna fiddle some in a bit.
everyone played FFIV already
Sarcasm, right? Those are about the bare minimums a port should have.

Love how those are the "advanced" options. What are the basic ones? Resolution?
Let's hope this game isn't beyond ini tweaking at least.

The console version was really pretty, aliasing and af issues aside.
So as long as I can bruteforce those together with a good resolution, it should look glorious.

I have a Dual Core AMD 5000+, 3GB Ram and 560. Runs Perfect with 60FPS everything on Max with highest Resolution all the time.
You played the worst part of the game. After Chapter 3 you have a nearly perfect game.

Game is long, with beautiful artstyle, good characters, godly music and excellent combat engine.
Sadly, it has slow opening. Buy it eventually, it deserves a playthrough.
It's a Gaming Evolved title, so I'd hope some time was put into the AMD side of things.

for the people who like doing screenshots: the game crashes when the resolution is set to 3200x1800. I'll try other resolutions.
EDIT: yeah, the game doesn't really like downsampling.

Played it.
Good:
- Performance -- locked 60 FPS at 2560x1440 with everything on my 660ti
- Looks absolutely amazing
- Plays much better at 60 FPS
Bad:
- They didn't implement proper mouse/keyboard controls, not even in the menus
- Bare minimum of graphical options
- The pre-rendered cutscene videos look terrible compared to the actual game

Wait what? I had no idea this was coming.
No more cinematic framerate, fuck yes!

The demo is the exact same as what was on consoles, it's really not the best to show off what the game is capable of. Really wish they had went a couple chapters ahead and pulled from there. The forest would have been gorgeous to sell the game with.
As for performance, it runs great and feels good to play at a consistently good frame rate. Worth double dipping at the price I think, should be a good way to play for those new to the series.
Edit: yes the cut scenes do look noticeably worse now compared to actual gameplay.

Can't say I care even remotely about the first bad point, but the other two are a bit disappointing.

Well, at least they're not Mortal Kombat level of bad.Hard times, bro...
Luckily enough, injectors are here to save the day (if the port doesn't shit itself as soon as you attempt one), as far as AA goes.
MK's cutscenes are almost transcendent in how bad they are. I almost turned the game off, they looked so bad.
Being better than those would be no great feat

Demo ran butter smooth, 1080p at 60fps. Definitely think this will give this game a second life.
Not at 30 bucks though.

It actually runs okay on my machine, though I have to turn everything down pretty low.
Game is still amazing. So beautiful and the combat system is so good.

I NEED SCISSORS

I must be alone in not caring about menu options. It sucks for people with worse PCs who have to tone down stuff to get it to run well, but it's also not like the visuals suffer - it's 'maxed out' by default, if you will.
Whoa, this game screenshots really badly. I was thinking "man this looks awesome" while playing, and when I looked at the screenshots I took they all looked like crap. Will need some heavy downsampling (and maybe motion-blur-disabling) wizardry to get screenshots that do it justice.

Yeah, wouldn't even cross my mind playing this with mouse/kb. Wasn't expecting much in the way of graphical options either, can't wait for my download to finish.
What are You using for screenshots? It doesnt detect my fraps ;\
BTW game looks very good and its so fluent, its completely different game compared to PS3 demo, but my god whoever designed keyboard controls should be hanged - no fucking logic in them, like none.

Downsampling from 2560x1440 to 1080p on my 660Ti with maximum settings and it runs great. But the screenshots don't seem like a looker.
Edit: wrong screen.
