well, shit...
I'll say it again fellas, 30fps, on an OLED is no good, this needs a 40fps mode for those with OLED tvs.

I found the demo performance to be absolutely horrible , I'm actually amazed that no big sites reported this and that most people in here are all "it runs fine" - it really, really doesn't, performance mode is absolute dog shite and the quality one due to it being 30fps feels bad on OLED.

It's FF15 all over again - a game which had to be played on a mid-gen refresh console as to have it running properly (and even then it had about 3 gfx modes which were all unstable fps wise).

The PS5 Pro can't come soon enough, also, I shouldn't have gotten an OLED, 30fps is playable on a LED, not so much on an OLED though...

Is this a real thing? I played it on an LG OLED C2 on quality and it looked perfectly fine to me - only problem I had was the motion blur around the characters.

Its a real thing for people who are very anal about performance, dont worry about it and enjoy the game.

Dont forget, FFVII has 15FPS

 

[Kamina]

Wait the game doesn’t have a 60 fps performance mode?

 

[pleaseinsertdisctwo]

People thinking the full game will suddenly have a massive performance gain are delusional, you really think that would release a demo if it was a far inferior version of the final game?

Same delusional people that claim that it looks better than XIII’s CG cutscenes

Baldu, people will tell you that it's "fine" and that it's only "us anal" people that have a problem with it.

I'm also on a C2 and 30fps modes on an OLED make me literally nauseous, if you don't see it /can't perceive it it's fine and be glad that it is so, for me though, since I got my C2 last December, 30fps modes are a no-go, and this comes.from a guy that didn't have any problems whatsoever playing 30fps games on a Plasma HDTV...

It is what it is, it's the near instant, sample and hold tech of OLEDs that exposes the shortcomings with 30fps content (and 24fps for films also).

Basically, you're either sensitive to it or not, for me, 30fps feels like a slide-show on OLED no matter the amount of in-game motion-blur.

Be thankful that you're not sensitive to it 'cause once once you start to see it you can't go back/unsee it...

Cheers

PS : 40fps modes are the "30fps of yore" for those on an OLED display, basically, it doesn't give the impression of +10fps but it makes the games supporting it feel like the "normal" 30fps that everyone is used to, it sounds weird but I can't explain it differently.

I dunno, Zelda got a pretty significant boost between review code and day 1 patch. I’m cautiously optimistic. I don’t think we’ll get a 40hz mode like we should but I’ll stick with it either way. I won’t have the patience to wait for the PC release after that demo

I see, damn I guess I’m just not sensitive to it - I can notice when they add frames to movies tho that’s a major issue I have with new tvs, Oled seems to be better with it tho.

People getting the game before me?

According to SE’s Tweet. They’re investigating it. I wonder if they ever call the store that sold the game early and say, “that was the last video game you’ll ever sell”.

THAT NOT GOOD ENOUGH! I want their games be taken away, no one is allowed to play the game before me......NO ONE!

 

[Krathoon]

I wonder how they penalize shops if they release too early.

The release date is getting pretty close. June 26th.

 

[TalentBurke]

I don't think they would admit over the phone that they have copies. Might have to go in store.

I go to a brick And mortar in Long Island. It's out east though.

I already have the game. I'm about 5 hours in so far

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Has the game opened up at the point you are at? I'm trying to find out if you are able to go from one area to the next without having to teleport back to the Hideaway (hub) each time (but I'm guessing the hub is probably not even unlocked for you at this point).

 

[Krathoon]

I hope my peni... my copy leaks early.
I've taken 22-23.06 off from work. Boss asked if it is important... WELL HELLL YEAH OF COURSE "IVE GOT STUFF TO DO"

It makes you what to say:
"HEY! IT IS F**CKING FINAL FANTASY! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!

 

[Krathoon]

Ah. I see Amazon delayed my order to the 26th. Screw you, Amazon.
I may see if I can get it at Walmart.

Yes, you can go from one area to the next with out returning to the hub but it's all fast travel so far. it's not like in FF12 where you continuously run from town to town on foot. Atleast so far anyway, you just fast travel to the next location

Nice. Enjoy! Hope to get it on Wednesday. I was in NYC yesterday but was attending a party so couldn't jump ship lol

I think the game is area based with big ass places to explore.

 

[Northeastmonk]

I read all the potential spoilers and I don’t honestly feel spoiled. It’s like being filled with fan theories because I don’t honestly know if they’re real or not. I’m not in the heavy narrative mood. I’m in the kicking butt with stylish moves kind of mood.

I still wouldn’t want to see anything. I’m ignoring those “let’s play” and “boss” videos on YouTube whenever they pop up for views.

 

[Hugare]

Are you enjoying it?

Is the story good so far?

Yeah I spoke too soon, I got to an open area today and it's HUGE...it felt like I was running through the world map on an old school final fantasy game

 

[TalentBurke]

I can't stop playing, I need sleep. It's the best story they've done so far. I've played final fantasy IV, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XII, XI, XV. This is the one that's had me hooked in so much. Like right from the beginning. It's very mature

 

[TalentBurke]

It's better, I'm hooked. The other final fantasy games took a while for the story to bring me in but this one gets going right from the start (where you start after the demo)

Just got my shipping notice WEDNESDAY suck it haters, I'm gonna be playing this like 6 hours early

lol I'm out here trying to training new employees, finish 4 exams and finish Hogwarts and Dead Island 2 in a week....

I don't know if I got it early, if I'd even have any time to even do much with it....soon.

GHG Same. I won't watch the demo, won't play it, won't watch previews, I want all my first impressions to be when I'm playing it.

I'll likely do the same with Starfield and start a media blackout, I've seen enough for the purchase lol

 

[Jack Videogames]

Why this never happens to me goddamn

 

[gela94]

My game shipped today so maybe just maybe . . ..

What’s bad about it? It has to have flaws. Which usually show up once everyone has their copy.

[Puscifer]

So here's the thing, you have to be sensitive to this for it to matter. Same thing with 60fps, you'll need 80fps for it to feel as smooth because of that instant response time.

That being said, I can't notice it *personally* but it's common enough that it's worth talking about. Micro stutter at high framerates was something I couldn't tell was happening till I used a gsync monitor all the way back in 2015.

If you don't notice it, don't go looking for it because then it'll be something you'll be looking for a solution for.

 

[kittoo]

Agree with 30FPS/graphics mode in this game being horrible on an OLED (am on a G2). Before purchasing OLEDs I was very very content with 30FPS, hell even worse performance didnt bother me. But on OLEDs its a different story. Even then it depends on game to game. Horizon forbidden west felt OK, God of war ragnarok felt great and FF16 seems horrible on graphics modes. Its so weird.

 

[Fatal Chuck Yeager]

They went a bit too generic action movie looking with the box art for my tastes.

6/10.

I’ve actually tried to notice it and strangely have not noticed at all. The idea that the 30FPS mode in this game is worse than others actually baffles me - cus I’m on a LG OLED C2 and just played thru burning shores at 30 and that I actually could kinda tell. Maybe I’m just more used to it now cus I haven’t played a 60 FPS game in awhile

Yeah box art is not good. But barely any are nowadays unfortunately

Yup it leaked earlier

Goddamn this is the future of FF if true.

God damn where is my pre-order!!! I was hoping to receive it day earlier.

Just got my deluxe copy.

Now I just need to get rid of my girlfriend for tonight.

My bad I was working yesterday, i got to try it today with the day 1 patch. The game is a lot smoother than what I played on Friday and Saturday.
