The characters are charming as hell, and I’m enjoying driving around in our cool sports car, but most of the quests I’ve done so far are pretty rote “Go here and grab this” variants. But uh…I don’t want to do that, so I guess I’ll be powering through it the best I can. I’ve heard Final Fantasy XV isn’t great at conveying its plot, and more than one person has recommended I watch some five-episode anime Square produced if I want to get the most out of the game.
There are definitely some quirks though.Īs for the story, or at least my initial thoughts on that front? I don’t know. The game looks great and runs great, and that’s what matters-plus you can fix a lot of problems by just using a gamepad as was clearly intended. Will it bother you? Probably not, especially once you’re accustomed to the controls and configure the borderless fullscreen workaround. So yeah, performance is great but the port is still rough around the edges in myriad small quality-of-life ways. But replicating that on a keyboard? Come on. On a controller, the same moves are done by holding down the trigger and hitting a button-an action that makes sense.
The catch: These moves are mapped to a hotkey combo, Ctrl plus either W, A, or D. Although you play as one character, you can trigger special moves involving your party members. It’s also all-too-clear the menus weren’t built for mouse and keyboard, with nested menu after nested menu and a constant use of “Z” and “X” to switch between different categories. Luckily there’s a workaround if you’re willing to dig through an ini file. You have to force it to fullscreen again by opening the options menu and turning fullscreen off and then back on again. For instance, Final Fantasy XV can’t handle alt-tabbing, and the game will force itself into windowed mode, then neglect to switch back when you return. There are a few other nagging annoyances. I guess Square didn’t expect you to examine the scenery for any length of time. Rocks, for instance, often have an ugly stretched-texture effect even at max settings. And even with the high-res texture pack installed, some elements are inconsistent.
