World Of Final Fantasy Full Screen

Released back in Oct 2016 for the PS4 and PlayStation Vita, World of Terminal Fantasy has at present made its chibi-faced way over to the PC. PC Invasion's own Tim McDonald is your regular Final Fantasy PC port reporter, merely this time the review code ended up on my desk.

If y'all've stopped past for any of our prior port write-ups for this serial, you'll know that Square Enix doesn't exactly go all out with the PC settings. Anybody belongings out for a World of Terminal Fantasy release with an uncapped frame-rate and flawless mouse and keyboard support may find some of the following scenes deplorable.

The game's recommended specs are extremely pocket-sized (this did run on the Vita, afterward all), only for the record I was running it on the following box: i5-6600 / 16GB RAM / 4GB 380X (Catalyst 17.10.2) / Windows 10.

Let's have a look at the Earth of Final Fantasy settings offered in the config launch (and only offered there, they're not present in-game). This won't have very long.

Display Mode: Fullscreen / Windowed
Resolution: 1280×720 / 1280×800 / 1440×900 / 1600×900 / 1680×1050 / 1920×1080
Shadow Resolution: 256 / 512 / 1024 / 2048 / 4096
Post Processing: Enabled / Disabled (pretty sure this is toggling Depth of Field, perchance some AA)

That's … information technology, really. Yet! World of Concluding Fantasy will back up 4K. I tried downsampling with AMD's 'Virtual Super Resolution' and my resolution options increased accordingly.

If you noticed the lack of whatever frame-rate related settings and started to intermission into a slight cold sweat, then allow me to ostend those fears. As with the original console release, the PC version is locked to 30fps. I have no manner of knowing if that's due to sure aspects or animations being hard-coded at 30fps, but 30fps is where the game is capped.

That'southward obviously less of a problem with a game like this where overmap wandering and turn-based battles are your main sources of action. World of Last Fantasy would have looked nicer moving along at 60fps or higher though.

And so, having covered the external launcher options, what does the in-game settings card look like? Well, it uses quite a large font so information technology'll have to be spread over three images.

The majority of these are gameplay tweaks, letting you alter the speed of text, or whether the battles volition pause while they wait for you to select actions, that sort of thing. You can opt for Japanese voices hither if you want to judge whether Tama'due south vocalization is more annoying in English or Japanese (tough call, honestly). At that place also seem to be a bunch of optional 'cheat' toggles hither likewise, if you lot demand that sort of help.

At the very bottom there are two PC-specific options that are actually quite welcome. One changes the button prompts to keyboard ones, and the other allows you to switch between a QWERTY or AZERTY layout. Okay, those aren't major inclusions in a PC port, just we need to take what we tin can get when it comes to keyboard options here.

I'thou pretty the-over this oral communication design.

In that location'due south no mouse support in World of Concluding Fantasy any. That's really non a big deal for just walking around in the world. The camera is 90% fixed, so fifty-fifty when playing on a gamepad you tin can only pan the main frame around a small-scale amount (the arrow keys fulfill the same role here). Where it does feel like a missed opportunity, though, are the menus. Globe of Last Fantasy is a pretty bill of fare heavy game (whether that's sort through inventory, or choosing attacks in battle), so non having whatsoever kind of mouse pointer control here is disappointing.

You lot'll also take to put upwardly with the default keyboard controls, because you can't rebind them. WASD for moving around and moving through menus is alright, but having 'K' and '50' as your confirm/get back buttons is a flake odd (Enter/Backspace perform similar functions). There doesn't appear to be whatever way to quit out of the game besides doing an Alt-F4 either, which is a bit strange. Unless I missed it somewhere, neither the save points nor any of the in-game menus seem to have a 'tin can I just get out the game now, please?' selection.

Update: There is a manner! 'B' will pause the game, and then 'V' will have you lot back to the title screen. You lot can quit from there.

You tin toggle betwixt 'basic' and 'classic' menus, which is quite prissy.

What nosotros have with Earth of Final Fantasy, and then, is a pretty bare bones port. It's on PC and the undemanding system specs hateful it runs completely fine, but that'south the extent of the transition. A game similar this isn't exactly crippled by a lack of 60fps (and upwards) or full mouse and keyboard support, they're just always nice to have and it'south a shame when they're not present. 4K resolution support is welcome, but that's about the simply affair distinguishing this release from the 2016 PS4 version.

It'due south a strictly no-frills version.
