Does this really have anything to do with trolls? Didn't Sands of time have a huge following in japan?

On Xbox One? It’s probably a backend error because it’s not outselling TOTK.

The xbox version of a game that has no release date and people in japan are ordering it on mass to push it above totk and ff16? 2 of the biggest franchises in Japanese history, one which is launching next and the other is selling tons every week
Come on now, let's be real.

Yeah maybe an error, but it looks like it's happening with the playstation version of POP as well.

Rof, i know brother, it's just that...i'm really disappointed with how the demo performed , i really dont get how people do not see this, either they're not playing it on an OLED screen or the fanboyism is too strong, it's one of the worst performing AAA games of the past few years that i've tried/played (just this quote will get me laughing emojis galore), i mean, people kept shitting on Redfall about its technical shortcomings and yet...where's he outrage for this one ?
It performs absolutely fucking terribly, it's either CONSTANT fps drops averaging at 40-somethin' fps with drops to the low 20's (eikon fights), or, have a friggin' 30fps molasses-like slide-show when choosing the "quality" mode.
It's a shame, i REALLY loved the action-y gameplay ,esthetics and OST but, if the final product hasn't changed from the demo it's gonna be a no for me - until the PS5 Pro gets released that is...
Cheers

Either an error or someone trolling.
What's weird is the playstation version of POP also is flying up the charts.

The performance mode is. It good. You gotta force youself to play quality mode.
Or full release will be different

Pray its fixed by launch because anyone with any actual true "feeling" for games can feel it. It's in a terrible state which for some reason is being completely overlooked.
this is performance mode.

Quality mode performance was all over the place too. Hopefully the full release improves. Performance was my one gripe about the demo, because neither mode was stable

Played the combat demo a few more times and enjoyed the combat a lot more as I got used it. The first time I played it I didn't even see the Limit Break prompt, so never used it. Now I've beaten the demo without any of those assist accessories, so yeah, it's plenty doable. It might feel like how will you even see what attacks are coming at you, but if you play it slow and watch the opponents, it becomes very doable. The enemies are also designed well so that they telegraph their attacks properly.
Going to continue playing a little more to figure out more things.

Must be your imagination. Quality mode is solid 30 outside of eikon fight scene

I dunno about best... But damn if it's not an insanely intense thirty seconds. Felt like so much longer.
Ready for XVI.. worst thing is the day after it comes my wife gets back and we might be going out of town..
If I'm lucky I'll be staying and totally binge XVI.

no you're wrong the game is a stutter fest, slowdown fest, unplayable, I had to book a doctor's appointment after the demo it was that BAD BAD

That’s definitely the example that comes to mind, and has really the least excuse since it’s essentially on rails

I was thinking of cancelling my preorder and waiting for the PC version because of 30fps on my OLED. But I've hooked up my PS5 to my 4K LCD monitor and 30fps is better on there so I might just keep my preorder. Don't want to wait for the eventual PC release coz this seems like it's gonna be a very special JRPG & I don't wanna risk seeing spoilers while I wait for the PC version which could be some time away.

Demo was a good idea. I'm not a huge FF guy but I decided to give it a go. More interested than I was before. Thoughts:
- Very surprised how mature the writing was, avoids the J-RPG convention of over-explaining everything 30 times in case you fell asleep. Good Game of Thrones/Witcher dark fantasy vibes.
- Despite the strong pacing in dialog and cut scenes, it did feel like 90% cut scene, 10% gameplay
- Graphics are beautiful. Character animation is excellent.
- Barely feels like an RPG any more. More linear than recent God of Wars.
- Combat feels great
- Performance is awful, stuck with the 30fps mode because the performance mode was all over the place.

Look at TotK a 560p@sub 30fps game and ppl cant get enough of that game.
FF16 runs fine, demo was an old build, chill out and wait for DF review

Would like to see an 40fps locked vrr mode but I bet we’ll never get it, except Sony no many devs care.
Btw for now I reverted back to HGIG, DTM has a much more punchy result for most of the areas but overall I don’t think I’m getting the same fidelity and sometimes it’s just too bright for my taste…

I am with you. "Unplayable" is throw way to easily these days.
I always imagine someone with a framerate counter on and as soon as there is a loss of 1 FPS he screams "This game is unplayable !"

a lot of talk I see around the framerate, I actually played in quality since in performance mode all cutscenes still felt like 30 fps. Way more jarring to be switching against smoother gameplay than just sticking to 30 all the way and letting the eye get used to it... But then came the Eikon fight.

OLED owners, I highly recommend HGIG with 4-5 brightness setting. See before and after. The HDR is fantastic.
I'm almost certain he was being sarcastic.

???????This game is going the GoT route?
The Queen is married to her cousin and one of the villains is a former prostitute
Where does it say that she was formerly a prostitute?

Many of the best RPGs in the past are highly linear with an overarching world

In GoT the Queen was f**king her blood related brother.

Not so far from GoT to be fair, specially considering real life royal bloodlines.
Danjin44

Yeah, that’s how most dynasty back old days try keep their bloodline alive. But with Queen in GoT case it was less about that and more about she being in love with her own brother.
Which is similar to (Furiae in original Drakengard being in love with her blood related brother Caim but she was so a shamed about it that she killed herself.)

Yeah, but there's linear and there's linear. Maybe we get some wide linear or open zone stuff later but it felt closer to Bayonetta than it did yo even a linear JRPG like Tales.

We already know you gonna have big map to explore in this game, the demo literally takes place at very beginning of the game, most JRPG are have heavy in cutscenes and linear before the game truly starts, this even case with Xenoblade 3.

We already know we are getting wide linear areas as they have shown them off.
But, just going back to the SNES/PS1/PS2/PS3 final fantasies, all of them were basically highly linear with some open areas. So I would not expect this to be an open world RPG like the Witcher. That's not what this is

I guess even lower than 4-5 depending on the other settings could improve the image. I’m fine with 2/3 I guess? Too bright above?OLED owners, I highly recommend HGIG with 4-5 brightness setting. See before and after. The HDR is fantastic.

I thought being a cousin fucker was standard fare for royalty throughout history? Maybe that explains Joshua's health issues? Just spitballing here.

Denchy, it really is weird man, I keep reading opinions and articles about how "next-gen" and "impressive" the whole thing is - it's like they haven't noticed the 20fps (at best) Eikon fight

Chief, from you pictures at least I cannot see any difference whatsoever ...
It's the goddamned framerate that's the real problem here, not the picture luminosity...

Well to be fair, Starfield being 30fps on consoles has spawned several threads.
At least people complaining about FFXVI's framerate are keeping it mostly to this thread.

IMO lore-wise it would make sense that the king would marry a relative to ensure the bloodline has the strongest chance of birthing a dominant, which is the whole reason they're royals in the first place.

I had zero interest in this game, but the demo won me over. Loving the story and the relationships between the characters.
And if Final Fantasy is defined by going on epic adventures in magical lands with incredibly good-looking people, this one is going to fit right in

I felt like an actual hero when the soldiers are recounting your Mongol fight.
