These Are Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy 13's PC Graphics Options

I just looked at the recommended specs and had a mighty kek:

• Windows® Vista/ 7/ 8
• Intel® Core™ 2 Quad (2.66 GHz)/ AMD Phenom™ II X4 (2.8 GHz) processor
• 2GB
• 22GB
• NVIDIA® Geforce® GTX™ 460/ ATI Radeon™ HD 5770
• Sound card compatible with DirectX® 9.0c

Bullshit. FF13 runs like absolute shit at 1080p on a system WAY more powerful than this, as does 13-2. 2gb what? Ram? LOL.

A 6 year old GPU? Really? The requirements for FFXIII said 5850, so you're telling me LR needs a worse graphics card? And this is all aside from the fact that everyone knows the game needs a 980ti to get a solid 60 fps - if it even can.

So still no real options.

Which picture is console and which is from the PC? The only difference looks like lighting which look really shitty in one of the shots.

What an amazingly innovative list of options! Man, how to those PC dudes keep pushing the envelope?!

Totally worth writing an article about options that have been in every PC game for the last 20 years.

Seems they removed some of the vibrance from the pc version as it's less colorful, guess have to use Sweetfx/Reshader with it.

wow you can change resolution now. welcome to what you could do in any decent game made after 1998.

At least they finally learned their lesson.

5 days left...still can't buy it. >.>

you know how the last 2 ports have turned out. they should just stop releasing it on the PC, if they can't do a proper port.
Final Fantasy XIII and XIII-2 are just broken on PC. they've never bothered to fix it in the first place. and now they are releasing the third one year later, and expect people to forget about it. yeah....no. its just a slap in the face for PC users. if you're going to release a PC port, do it right first time. even after one Patch XIII is still not par with the Ps3 version. yeah maybe it has highe resolution, but that's where it ends. the frame rate is all over the place. XIII-2 is even worse, 30 fps cap and drops to low 20's with any modern system.

better stick to consoles only. because you keep insulting PC players with bad ports...

It's a bit daft that resolution has been arbitrarily limited, rather than arbitrarily supported. How hard is it to query the OS for a list of available resoluitions and scale accordingly? Heck, Square-Enix did that themselves with FFX-2. And yet they are supporting 60fps (cool) when that is arguably the harder thing to get working properly than arbitrary resolution support? How bizarre.

Fortunately getting these games to work at higher resolutions often only requires minor tweaks.

Publishers need to realise the reason people are happy to pay for PC games over console ones (even though they don't get a physical product) is because they are getting a forward-compatable version that should scale with their hardware. i.e. the game gets better over time, not worse (so it makes sense as a long-term investment).

Looks better than I'd expected, cool! Been waiting for this for a while, 5 days to go :]

Wait, maximum of 1080p? Dafuq? Square Enix, no, you know better.

You know the playerbase has gone to **** when 90% of comments is about resolution and fps instead of gameplay.

If you can see past the gibberish story and utterly appalling graphics (seriously, the FF13 series gets worse graphically as the games go on. 13 is STUNNING compared to its sequels), then there's actually a very fun battle system in this game. :)

Worst final fantasy ever made, the ps3 version looked terrible other than lighting and some other main character models it looked like a ps2 game and played like a pile of trash. Don't even know why it's worth mentioning.

Might as well spam it ;P. Light is waifu material.

The only thing I like about FFXIII is Claire's character model.

p.s. Dear Square; windowed mode, 1080p and 60fps are not 'high-end' PC options.

Another Final Fantasy title to avoid because japanese developers are straight awful when it comes to pc games.
