It's okay to point out flaws in things and make fun of it. I even said in my post there that I expect things to get fixed, and that doesn't change these errors as being silly/dumb

People not being able to warp strike is a problem. The game apparently not running at its advertised resolution is a problem. The game struggling to maintain 30fps is a huge loving problem, especially when it's a controlled environment where it's supposed to be running on a tricked out pc to show off what the game can do. Doubly so when, according to the article, a bunch of textures aren't even in 4k which was the reason for those monstrous requirements to run it in the first place.

Demos don't have to be perfect, but this is what they're putting out there to sell people on their game.

"Ah," Ratz had said, at last, "the artiste."
FFXV is cool, and fun, and sometimes its even good! Sometimes it's not, but that's okay, even greatest-game-of-all-time FFVI had that one lovely part where you had to play as Strago or whatever.

Noct and palls are the best part of XV by a mile but they aren't enough to save it. More time spent on Aranea or Lunafreya would have really helped.

Its more of a Skyrim game than a Final Fantasy. I was more disappointed by XV's story than XIII's and I really loathe XIII.

Final Fantasy has a rich tradition of experimentation and of nerds being okay with change.

One of those two things is a lie.

I agree.

To play devil's Advocate, "Bluh, it's just a demo, they'll fix it, it totally will be released in a fixed state!!!"

Lightning Returns actually had a pretty drat good PC port, and IX/X were mostly fine. I think people overstate how bad SE ports are, at least lately.

MGS5 is from Konami, who has experience with releasing PC versions of their games recently. IDK about GER/2 but Tales games have a few PC iterations

FF13/2 was released in a suboptimal state and still is. FF10 is EH but at least it doesn't crash. FF_ games in general aside from like FF11/14 don't have options like something like DX:HR has for computer settings and performance, just offhand.

XSEED is totally indie, in comparison to the corporate giant that is Square Enix. XSEED is about on the same level as NIS in terms of "indie".

The amount of people who are going to complain that there aren't graphics sliders in FF13 or whatever are completely drowned out by every other mongoloid FF fan who doesn't give a poo poo about those.

The ratio is much lower for other games.

What exactly is the point, here? Just because a thing is popular means that it has no flaws and shouldn't get fixed and we shouldn't criticize it?

Not everyone cares about every single problem in a game. That doesn't mean problems don't exist.

Is it wrong to feel some delicious schadenfreud that a console game's PC port is too resource-intensive for many players' computers?

Nah. I just feel FFXV port is probably poorly optimized. It's just laziness.

The point is:

Will SE release a playable game? Sure.

Will it require a lot of patches to get it right? I'd guarantee it.

Frankly anything less than the settings you find in ff14 and I'll be disappointed.

It's not unreasonable to expect they'll not get it right on the first go, as they are not pc developers. But at the same time complaining about a pre-demo is the best way to help bring attention to the fact they can do better.

LAAAAAATE EDIT: That King's Knight game the Chocobros are alway talking about came out last week. It's... its like Gradius or one of those games. Reminds me of Guardian Legend without the Zelda-like overworked and in a fantasy rather than scifi setting. There doesn't seem to be a thread for it. It's a free-to-play game, so YMMV.

Didn't see it posted but the bestiary has been in the game for sometime. Interesting tidbits of information.

You can rotate the models of each monster except for Chadarnook, Melusine, and Shiva, probably to prevent players from getting their :fap: on.
