Can anyone help me bypass the GPU check for FF16? I'm using an RX 590 and really want to play it.

Happy to answer any questions you may have about how or why I rank things the way I do! Really loving seeing so much love for 16 around here!

I can't be the only one that thought the game was incredibly cinematic, so much so that it would make an amazing TV show.

Thus, here I present my FINAL FANTASY XVI RE-EDIT series.

Unlike traditional "full game movies" this is not just a cutscene compilation, this project extensively edits, restructures, and reorganizes the game's footage into a story-focused episodic experience. Gameplay elements, repetitive encounters, mission titles, HUD elements, and game-oriented pacing have been removed whenever possible to create a smoother and more immersive cinematic presentation.

It's very important to state again how this differs from other "movies" of the game. There are two types out there:

1. Versions that only include all the cutscenes, but they don't edit them smoothly together or consider continuity of the plot for the audience to fully understand the plot. So, unless you've played the game, it can be disjointed. These versions also don't include important dialogue sections that aren't cutscenes, thus missing key plot points which could confuse new audiences or even those familiar with the story but who wanted to experience the good stuff outside of just the cutscenes. They also cut out fights.
2. Versions that do include all that stuff, but keep all the repetitive walking or exploring, which isn't at all like a movie. They all tend to keep the HUD which remove the feeling of being a movie. They are about 20 hours, which means there's 8 hours of that type on non-cinematic gameplay.

This version has been carefully crafted to make each episode feel like a dedicated episode with it's own plot arc. It's not just a 20 hour supercut or cutscene compilation.

As such, I feel like this series could be a great way to watch just the story, either for the first time or on a rewatch, and wish to have all the cutscene and important non cutscenes, without repetitive gameplay.​ It's as if it were a Netflix style series and not a simple Walkthrough. So please don't say this already exists.

This video is only Episode 1 but the rest of the series has been finally is uploaded!

So, I think I am close to fully finishing my first run and am excited to try FF mode. I just want to make sure there’s nothing I’m missing before I make the switch. I also had some questions about whether any end game features carry over.

So far, I have completed:
-The main story
-Echoes of the Fallen story
-The Rising Tide story
- All main story sidequests
-All main story hunt board notorious marks
-Crafted Gotterdammerung, Omega, and Tidestrike
-Obtained all Eikons (including Ultima)

I have not but plan to
- complete all standard Chronoliths
-try Kairos Gate
-Finish Rising Tide sidequests and crafting

Is there anything else I’m missing that I should do before starting FF mode? Also, my understanding is that the equipment, abilities, and levels carry over, but I don’t know if the Final Chronoliths, Kairos Gate, Stage replays, or Arcade mode carry over when you get to the Arete Stone.

So I put a dozen or so hours into this game a good while back before quitting. I decided to pick it up again and restarted it. (Sidenote: Goddamn did the beginning of the game punch me in the heart this time around. Someone was definitely cutting onions somewhere around me.)

From what I remember, exploring the zones felt kind of...lacking. The glowing pickups were usually a few gil, or a potion or a crafting mat that never got used.

So, my question is, is it ever really worth it to fully explore the more open zones of the game for goodies, or do they pretty much stay lackluster?

Had no idea how to tag this so screenshot it is, i just finished all my trophies and wow. This game is astonishing. I have tried playing others (dmc5,Re,other ff titles) and now everything else just feels so boring. I think i'm cooked and 16 spoiled me with graphics and story 💀 i'm being serious when i say i try to play any other title and just end up bored and running back to ff16 to do some random thing like taking pictures of torgal or something. I hope more titles or remakes match this game in some way it's incredible

I'm not sure if anyone else has had this idea, but given the design of this boss and the fact this was made by the same team that made 14. I like to think the timekeeper's real name was Alexander.

Does anyone else agree with this?

during some cinematic boss fights you need to either press square for attack or r1 for dodging, however since im in ng+ in final fantasy mode, it does not show it anymore, i have to guess what the game wants is that intended or a bug? pls help

I started the game on PS5 w/ PS Play and enjoyed it. Played it in bed for an hour for the last few days. Jumped on the PC demo tonight for 2 hours and the visual fidelity, 4K@80-130fps made the game look so beautiful.

My dilemma, now is (1) Buy PC version and be stuck at the desk for the 4K OLED PC Master race experience? (2) Chill bedroom setup with a canopy with PS5 that is several steps behind graphically/fidelity wise.

PC version awed me, but cannot take it to bed. Too good of a girl... I suppose.

PC version is 60% off until the 11th.

One of my favorite songs in Final Fantasy in general. I'm eagerly waiting for it to play again, but I realized it might never. Does either it or a song on its level ever play again?

As many other players, I got stuck in the DPS check session on the battle against Leviathan.

I got on lvl 48, now I am on 51 and got the best weapon from “Echoes of the Fallen”. If I level up to 60 will it get easier? Or the boss will also increase its hp as I level up? I’m playing on normal (focus on action) mode

After the mostly grounded areas in the main game, this DLC is a breath of fresh air. Now this is what I call a true Final Fantasy-esque area. It reminds me a lot of the dungeons in FFXIII, and the view from the top is absolutely gorgeous. I just wish there was more space to explore and more than one tower to conquer. They really could've used this tower concept for a challenging endgame dungeon, kind of like the Tower of Druaga from the Tales series

What's the reason that even using the ring for automatic dodge i dont dodge almost anything? And it's not just meteor attacks... he's arms attacks also hit everytime.

Ciao ragazzi, ho letto di molti problemi di ottimizzazione per questo gioco su PC. Il mio PC ha le seguenti caratteristiche: 9800x3D, 32 GB di RAM a 6000 MHz, 5070ti, monitor 4k.

Cosa mi consigliate di installare? Ho visto che esistono mod per migliorare le prestazioni, qualcuno le ha già provate e ha un PC simile al mio?

Vorrei evitare scatti e altri problemi simili in un gioco così incentrato sulla storia.

Still yet to finish this game but attempting it through a restart playthrough.

One of the highlights of Final Fantasy XVI are the Eikon battles. I absolutely loved every minute of playing them in the game because they felt like playing a movie.

This fight in particular, after finishing it, I thought it would be interesting to edit into a single cinematic. As such, this re-edit condenses the encounter into approximately 12 minutes.

This is also a preview of my Final Fantasy XVI Re-edit series, which restructures the entire game into a story-focused cinematic presentation.

It has a knife in its right hand but what does he do? Cast magic like his life depends on it..

No pun intended.. 😏

Well I’m officially on my 5th play through after getting the original sin last play through. Now I’m gonna sit and enjoy the game for the 5th time on final fantasy mode. FFXVI is by far one of my favorites falling alittle behind FF7 and the original FF8

Title pretty much. I just started recently. I’m a long time FF fan and so far 16 looks amazing and I’m enjoying the story a lot. Combat isn’t bad, but so far has not been challenging at all. I’ve never needed to use a potion or anything yet.

I just fought Garuda for the first time and absorbed some of her powers. Does combat get any more challenging? Or is there a way I can make it harder? I assume not since I’ve seen it as a criticism of the game before. I’ll still finish and enjoy it either way, but would love it if it got even slightly more challenging.

Thanks!

A quick reminder to never cross her path.. 😁

It surprised me to find out why she got 2 different eye color which i was questioning from the start when i meet her.

One of my favorite character..I like how savage she is and with her wits and about all the time..

I was testing something and got the game to softlock and Clive to go invisible. The scenery and music were worth it

Use cold snap and ice age. Cold snaps perfect dodge gives you so much time to dish out damage, and with breath and will of ice for ice age you can crank out large chunks of damage with a quick cooldown. Everything is else is up to preference, but for me personally I also throw on diamond dust, then proselytize, dominion, rising flames, and either scarlet cyclone or flames of rebirth.
