I5-2500k and 970 here. FF XIII ran great for me, but XIII-2 was so abysmal I couldn't make it more than 4 hours into the game. Constant stuttering and drops to 15 fps ruined it for me. I haven't played Lightning returns but I hear it's the best of the FF XIII ports.
I am 105% sure that you have a game controller, do you?
360 controller, yeah.
Without a game controller, the game is running like this:
The reason is due to the poor porting the game tries to find a game controller every 2 secs.
While trying to find a cgame controller, the game will stutter. That means stutter every 2 secs, which is like hiccup :/
Ya, it's things like this that make me weary of FF XV coming to PC in the next few years. If they can't even do something simple as fixing this (I'm guessing it's still like this now, never patched. I 100% the game so I uninstalled it) how in the hell can they think of making FF XV a tech showcase on PC? lol.
How is the port of the FF XIII series on PC? I played the first on PS3 and own XIII-2 on PS3 but never played it. Is it worth upgrading to the PC port?
I personally didn't hate the game like many others did.

The game appeals to me because it has a TF2 vibe and TF2 is one of my favorite multiplayer games ever. Personally, I do not care for the lore of the videos Blizzard is releasing.
As a long time tf2 player (3200 hrs) this is the same reason Overwatch appeals to me. I don't know if Overwatch will be able to scratch the same itch tf2 does for me though, the pace of the games are so different that it will be difficult to adjust to Overwatch when it comes out, but with all the hype my friends have for the game I'm sure I will be forced to change games lol.
Rise of the tomb raider held my attention for a while (I got to 91% game completion before I said screw the rest of the collectibles lol). Now back to the addiction that is TF2.
Compared to other mmos in the market, it does get challenging later on.
But don't expect the challenge to come in until level 20, the game is a cakewalk before that. And from my experience thus far, is a cakewalk even after level 20 compared to the stuff I grew up on.
But yes, it does take a lot more effort than any market relevant mmo you see today,
***Spoiler alert*** this image shows the raiding requirements.
This right here, I'm lvl 23 currently and up until 20 it was a joke difficulty wise, but the combat made leveling to that point enjoyable regardless. When I got into my first dungeon we wiped on the 2nd trash pack pull because we weren't interrupting as a group (Mobs/Bosses have interrupt armor, so if a mob has 2 interrupt armor, that means you have to hit it with 3 interrupt/stun abilities within a short time frame, normally <1.5-2 seconds otherwise the armor stacks come back). And if your tank/healer is geared properly, you may as well leave because that wont fly (Lot of people using DPS gear and queuing up to tank/heal only to find they cant hold threat and die)
Not to mention that the first boss absolutely ripped us a new one haha. More mechanics on the first boss in the entry level dungeon that some raid bosses in WoW.
I use it to update drivers, and I'll let it optimize my games, but I usually tinker 1-2 settings around once I'm in the game though. Really is convenient for updating drivers though!
