Surprisingly low requirements, or well-optimised. Either way, I'm happy.

Now we just need a release date for a European/US version (yeah yeah, jp version has english, but I'm not importing).

Hmmm...that means the framerate difference between an X2 6000+ and C2D 3.0GHz is roughly 40% (high 90's vs. mid 60's). So this game does need a beefy CPU after all.

Oh yeah, from my oc experience, REALLY CPU heavy. Who'd have guessed :-\

 

[Baloonatic]

I want to OC my E8400 a bit, would I need more than stock cooling to do it?

Benchmark was perfect. I only use vertical sync at 60 Hz so the benchmark reported an average framerate of 60 fps.

Are those benching higher actually disabling v-sync? I don't understand why you would do that. Higher numbers don't mean anything when tearing is present.

 

[FoxSpirit]

Yes,we do have it turned off.
You are benching, not playing, that means you measure the power of your engine.
Like a big ass car, you test it, find out it can go 180mph, but then for regular driving you stick to the speedlimit because everything else could get ugly.

Because the very purpose of a benchmark is getting a performance indication, and if you use v-sync then (assuming your system is somewhat capable) you won't get one? It's obviously different from when you actually play the game.

Why not overclock your Q6600 to go with that kick ass SLI?

 

[LastExile]

^ sorry typo! I do have it OC'ed but only to 3.0 Ghz, I'm on air cooling with ocz vendetta 2 and scythe 120mm fan. It can go higher but not 24/7 stable with orthos. I forgot to add im running on a velociraptor 300gig hd if that makes any diff.

and to the previous poster, I dont get any screen tearing, watched the benchmark loop three times and didn't notice anything. At some parts though the framerate does dip into the 50s, especially closer to the end of the test.

on a side note, two gtx 280's sound like a jet engine when running at full load. Even at idle they're not that quiet lol... =(

 

[Shadow780]

I'm getting about 70fps @ 1920 x 1080 full screen:

Intel Core i7 920@2.67Ghz
6GB RAM
Radeon 4870x2
Vista 64bit

this normal?

 

[hateradio]

For some reason this won't work for me at all, I just kept getting a white screen and nothing loading, until it just crashed and I'd have to terminate it. I'm on Vista but I guess it's my crap graphics card :/

Awesome.

Hopefully this does well, so more jRPGs get ported to PC's.

If this happened, (which it won't given general attitude of PC gaming in Japan,) I would never buy a console again.

Confirmed for March 20th for Europe.

I just noticed that the NA version is listed as 3/24 on EB.

Are you running service pack 1? It wouldn't work for me until I updated to it.

But I thought Japan loved Pc gaming due to all the exclusive Hentai games it gets.

YAY!

FUUUUUUUUCKING BOOOOUUUUUUUGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

....wait, US right?

 

[Aeana]

It doesn't specify, and we haven't actually heard any official word of an NA version, but I can't imagine why it wouldn't be available on US Steam if they've gone through the red tape to get it on Japanese Steam. (Are they even separate services? I don't know much about Steam.)

Guess we'll wait and see. I gotta go buy another 360 controller for my PC

The Steam version is worldwide simultaneous on April 9. Not sure about the package version, though.

Thanks. I was going to ask where you saw it, but Online Player EX says worldwide.

 

[K.Jack]

On Steam!? Mega-fuckin-ton decision Square-Enix.

Now imagine FFXIII on Steam, released simultaneously with the console versions.... I believe.

 

[B.K.]

I tried the benchmark and it wouldn't work for me.

 

[thaOwner]

Will the PC demo have english subtitles or this hasn't been translated yet ?

 

[Aeana]

The demo should include both English/Japanese text and audio. That's one of the features listed for the PC version. The game is already out in English for 360.

 

[AgentOtaku]

Well it's gonna be hosted (as of now) on the official Jpan site, so I'm thinking it will be in japanese ...who knows though. Hey at least we get to find out this friday!

I'm fucking stoked as I've waited since Nov. to play this. I sold off my 360 so was waiting for either the PC or PS3 version

EDIT: oh nm

Here's a more down to earth approach. My average laptop.

1200 * 800 resolution
Asus N50Vn
c2d t9400 @ 2.53Ghz
4 GB DDR2 RAM
GeForce 9650M GT 1GB DDR2
Windows Vista Home 32bit

Far from amazing but still playable, and all with default settings. If you drop the resolution but keep the aspect ratio or mess with the driver settings a bit I'm sure a better framerate is possible without the graphics getting to much of a hit.
