Sir Liquid Jerk posted:So FF13 locked at 720p on the pc? Yup, as was to be expected for a port that cost $10 at release. Well, unless you were for some dumb reason expecting it to have in-game resolution options and support a wide array of display and other graphical options like SOME people *leers at NeoGAF* Don't worry though; Durante's gonna take care of it like Fix-it Felix.

A Steampunk Gent posted:MGR was released at budget price and still managed to have a reasonable number of graphics and resolution options, you really don't have to apologise for one of the world's biggest developers and publishers releasing a half-arsed port of one of their flagship titles Who am I apologizing for? I just didn't get my expectations up. Every FF console port S-E's released on steam so far has had a barebones launcher and VERY little in the way of added features. The battles in FFIV alone still run at like 15 or 20fps or whatever. People should have seen this coming. Also $10 is not $30 which is what MGR went for at release on PC, and was developed by a completely differrent company so I'm not sure how that matters

Hace posted:Resolution options aren't a feature, they're part of basic functionality. And somehow... they aren't in the game. But hey keep on dreamin'. v it is precisely because  I'm sure Resolution Options are a thing that would require more working loving around in the crystal tools engine and hell if they're gonna roll that ball of wax again!

Well, when you make sweeping changes like altering your entire rendering resolution, you kinda want to make sure it doesn't gently caress something up along the way. Now extend that to the entirety of a game, all of the graphical effects in the game, all the ui options and special little things in your game. Well poo poo you're gonna want someone to test all that right? To give feedback and make sure it works correctly with no issues? And if it doesn't work well then crap we might have to drag the engine designers back in to try and find the issue and fix it and THEN test THAT fix to make sure it works. Repeat for every little issue in the game. Basically they've already tested and have a relatively bug-free version of the game ready to go, and its this one. Any more than that and they'd have to employ more people specifically for the purpose of what they probably feel is not worth it, especially considering that price point. You can find FFXIII in any bargin bin for $10, I'm pretty sure they thought it wouldn't be reasonable to put all that effort into a title and then release it for $50 only for people to a.) Not buy it because they already played it/have it on another console or b.) Wait for a steam sale. Hace posted:The original FFXIV had resolution options, why would that be a limitation of crystal tools? I'm not defending it  I swear. I know its bad, I just think its really, really funny that people still expected so much out of this port. Also yeah I forgot about FFXIV 1.0. I try hard to, every day.

Xavier434 posted:However, I do hope that SE keeps the PC in mind more often for future AAA titles especially if they are now doing things like designing games using the UE4 engine. Yeah, I saw a screenshot before release of the keyboard config screen complete with the hand selection arrow and I was expecting at least remapping from what I saw. Also yes that's pretty much the reason I've been buying their FF re-releases; sorry to be the guy that's killing video games or whatever but I've played these games before and the lack of extra features doesn't bother me and I know what to expect. I'm just supporting them in the hope they decide they want to start bringing their future games (HELLO FFXV) to PC, and yes that they would include all the niceties that PCs allow.

Sakurazuka posted:You're showing them that putting out half baked no-effort ports is making them money all right. I'm AWARE of that, geez. I'm sure they see it from that viewpoint too! If no one buys these games though I'm really doubt they're gonna want to bring the whole series over. And if you want to laugh even harder, I secretly want FFX HD Remaster and a FFXII Remaster to happen too! Fister Roboto posted:Somehow I don't think that a low-effort PC port is a risky venture for a company like SE. I guess the idea is that they'd see there's a demand on PC for these FF games (especially considering FFXIV's popularity) and decide maybe they should have a PC version out at the same time as the console versions and maybe even start developing the game with PC features in mind! Or yeah they could just put out another barebones port! I dunno about what SE is going to do, all I do know is there are a LOT of people out there on the internet and some of those people know how to fix up these poo poo ports so it's win/win for me! Hace posted:no you don't understand it's really hard upscale in DX9 it could break the whole game Nah, probably not the WHOLE game. I know this was just you shitposting but its true. Durante's Dark Souls fix broke the visuals in certain parts of the game and he had to go back multiple times to update his fix to get around the issues. But hey, keep shitposting!

But they're pretty much the same versions as their originals? I don't understand; YOU are the one perceiving them as inferior. How are they inferior? Compared to what? Again, the original versions? THEY'RE THE SAME. They might be inferior to other PC titles but that's on you, bub.

Well, lets look at what makes this company different, I guess. First up, they're Japanese. Hello, language barrier!

Now we've got them porting over a game directly from consoles, out of nowhere, for $10. I've exp-- Haven't I explained this already? I'm not doing it again. Yes, everyone who pre-ordered this game when there were so many unknowns about the feature set and expected it to stack up to every other PC release (and then bitched about it!), without at least looking at the trend they've set with their other PC ports, are loving morons.

seizure later posted:I guarantee that releasing Final Fantasy 13 in October of 2014 is not a huge financial risk for them. Yes, it was out of nowhere. It was only announced like a month ago and even then it wasn't the official announcement where everyone found out; it was some dude looking at a website and seeing a steam icon. No one could have predicted that XIII was the next game coming out and had relatively little time to get any information out of them about it. Again. I'm not defending them. Anyone who bitches about this game's featureset, and has not bought the game-- DUDE YES YOU'RE DOING IT RIGHT! GOOD ON YOU! Those people who bought into the game already and are just posting poo poo about how it did not live up to their expectations in terms of PC features? WHAT THE gently caress, WHY? (and so far that's actually been like NO ONE on this forum so I'm not even sure how this all got started, other than the usual knee-jerk reactions "ugh stop defending them!"

seizure later posted:Buying FF13 on Steam today does not say "release the next one at the same time as the console version", it says "you can release it any number of years in the future and we'll still buy it" when it's considerably cheaper for them to do so. If anything, they're more likely to use the numbers from FF14 sales, both ver 1.0 and 2.0. Yup, that possibility definitely exists. Now, I'm curious on your take on not buying any of those games tells them.

Mega64 posted:I still haven't beat 12 yet, but every time I played I found the hunts challenging enough to be enjoyable, and this is considering how many weird challenge runs I end up doing for these games. The hunts are great and I'm glad they're making a return in XV. Haven't beaten 12 either, but the last time I played it was the translated IZJS version. I sort of did a challenge run where I made everyone Machinists, because guns in FFXII are awesome. I bought all the gambits and everyone ran around at hi-speed automatically gunning everything down and for some reason this was really amusing to me. Somehow, I lost interest in this so I cheated and swapped my party members out for Espers, which was weird and cool and made it amusing again for maybe 10 minutes. One of these days I'll actually play it right and finish the story.
