Final Fantasy on PS5 Pro - Rebirth/14/16/Stranger of Paradise - Every FF Game Tested!

[@FSAPOJake]

Still crazy to me that 16 was never given a Pro patch. 16 was supposed to be this major "from the ground up designed for PS5" exclusive, and yet it's just kind of been abandoned.

[@atomickaiser1934]

That's what square does. They abandon most of their games. I've been waiting for xv to get a ps5 update and nothing. Only reasons rebirth got an update is because it's a 3 current part trilogy, and all the complaints.

[@Renk1]

It’s truly a shame, as I enjoyed 16 way more than Rebirth. I guess it didn’t meet SE’s sales expectations, as is the case with 99% of their games.

[@LukijsFroGo]

same. its an absolute shame

[@DaRkLoRd-rc5yu]

I wonder if it's just about where the team is at. They've moved on the dlc is wrapped up and the pc port is done and the team has probably been dissolved and moved onto other projects. There's probably no one to work on pro patch. And you probably don't want to give the work to just anyone to work on.

[@troycannon100]

[@BurnoutsAndBourbon]

16 needs a Pro patch

[@sizablekoala6879]

FF16 should get a Pro patch more than any game. A higher resolution with an upgrade from FSR1 to PSSR would be significant.

[@mandrews6282]

It already gets a noticable bump to image clarity and higher rendering resolution as it’s using dynamic res currently. It also gets a nice bump to performance as well, and while there are still dips, it’s well within the VRR window now when they occur. So we are getting a nice upgrade here even without a bespoke patch. The game is just really heavy in general. Any further gains needed will be seen with the PS6 where it should finally hit a locked 60. If you haven’t fired it up yet and have a Pro, you will notice a difference immediately though.

Its sad seeing 16 wasn't well optimized neither on pc and didn't even got a pro patch. It's my favorite ff. The eikon battles were meant to be played in 4k60fps

[@upon-fe2720]

Eikon battles are one of my main gripes of 16, all the boss fights play the same every time, so much so they are the bits I look forward to the least, I want to approach boss fights differently not just have them as spectacles to be seen once and then dumped. Killed a lot of the replayability factor, I feel they should have been rarer and more evenly paced with a lot more player agency. By the end of titan lost I was done with them, especially with the sheer amount of repeated animations. Every single fight has the enemy rub ifrits face up against a wall for a quarter mile... Snooze. For me, FF boss fights are all about strategy, this was mindless boss fighting, a spectacle - yes, but actually challenging or good - no. Rebirth hard mode gave me all the strategy set up joy and spectacle from fights I could possibly need, all while being in control of a full party and not having to do quicktime events, not only that, but a unique boss fight theme for every single boss with multiple phases. Bosses done bang right!

I hope that Sony is working really hard behind the scenes for FF16's Pro patch. It took a little extra time to get 40K's patch. Outside of some remaining framerate woes image quality is great. With Sony actually having a hand in FF16's production it might be a fair assumption that Sony are going the extra mile to ensure the most premium experience. On the other hand, Sony might have other titles that they're prioritizing first. PSSR might be getting some iterative tweaks under the hood too. Regardless, Sony has to know the demand is high.

I flew this flag for a while to a lot of shit, I thought the base game was unplayable at 60fps, it looked near underwater it was so damn blurry. I could not stand it, I ended up sticking with 30fps and getting used to it, it's a clean 30 with good framepacing. The 60fps mode on pro looks great, pop in is still there but hell I can deal with that easily, actual image quality problems gave me migraines. The only game I played this year on console that looked even worse was Wu Kong, the artifacting in that game may be the most egregious example I've ever seen. I didn't enjoy a single graphics setting in that game on ps5, the pro however has made a fairly acceptable 40fps mode, but still... No clean 60. Unreal engine is a bastard when making big detailed environments, not only that but Rebirth is using UE4 and has even larger environments than Wu Kong. I'm honestly sick to death of UE already. Bored of seeing it's generic traits across numerous titles. Decima has stolen my heart.

Great to see a compressed summary of the FF games. Generally speaking - details is great, but obviously the super-zoomed views aren’t really representative of how you perceive it on screen. For FFXIV (14) - nice to see it shown - seems like the easy (and most relevant) way to show benefits would be doing a raid or trial, as that’s where it actually matters and you get consistent numbers of players and effects on show.

If they were no patch, wouldn't the image be the exact same as the performance mode on ps4? It's not like the console magically enhance graphics, the game needs to have a patch for it to include better texture packs and graphical settings.

One tip for non-pro owners: You can download the PS4 version of Stranger of Paradise (at no additional cost if you own the game digitally IIRC) and play that on your PS5 to experience drastically improved frame rates at the expense of just a bit of graphics quality.

[@JackJohnson-br4qr]

What is "naive upscale" exactly?

[@Demmrir]

It's the same upscaling you get in various art programs if you take the image and resize it larger. Technically doesn't have a single algorithm so it can vary between bicubic or Lanczos or such. But it's a basic upscale without awareness of the geometry or previous frames or anything.

[@Xbob42]

Generally, with computer science terminology, "naive" tends to mean something is straightforward and simple. I don't have a degree in computer science, and am not a developer/coder, so my explanation may be incomplete or even outright incorrect, but I believe it's something like... a naive upscale would just copy the pixels of the nearest neighbor, in say, a 1080p image, so 1 pixel of yellow becomes a square of 4 yellow pixels, a single blue pixel becomes a square of 4 blue pixels, etc.. Then you've technically got 4x the resolution of the source image, so you've "filled" a 4k image with a 1080p image, and it scales "cleanly" in that nothing should be deformed. Whereas a more robust approach using TAA (or similar techniques like DLSS or PSSR) are much more complex and can produce much better results, if implemented correctly.

[@AnimeUniverseDE]

Oliver likely meant spatial upscale, something like bilinear, bicubic, lanczos or fsr1

[@Salty.Peasants]

They should release PS5 Pro patches for FFX/FF12/FF13/FF14/FF15/FFVII: Remake/FF16, etc. The first 4 games could easily do 4k120. FF15 and FFVII Remake should have a 4k60 quality Pro mode. FF15 was the first major FF to introduce advanced upscaling, HDR, etc features on PC.

When PSSR on Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters!?

[@dolan_plz]

It's still missing the camera motion blur 😕

PS5 can do "near 4k" 30 but the PC requirements are insane for Rebirth

No way I would've played those games in Performance Mode with all that damn BLUR.

Pretty weird that Final Fantasy 16 didn’t get a patch, but it does run great on PC hardware depending although at times with the boss battles the frame rate without frame generation can definitely still suffer but not for long during those battles. I do wish they were able to uncap the cut scenes without modding the game but for the amazing story and the complete package that it is, compared to how XV was for so long. I’m really disappointed it didn’t do better sales wise and now we are seeing SE do a complete about face for that reason. For one I’m very glad that they have gotten their heads out of their bums and have decided to do multi platform strategy once again . Overall I do think it was designed to just be played at 30 fps across the board on its original hardware but one has to wonder if a PS5 pro patch would help.

It ran like complete dog 💩 on the ps5. Performance was just terrible

[@theanimerapper6351]

Yea I was surprised that ff16 ran so well on PC. Nearly locked 60 for me during normal gameplay

Stranger of Paradise : Final Fantasy Origin. I can say to my complete mystification I have NEVER HEARD OF THIS GAME.

FF7 rebirth looks like the difference between having an a stigmatism and wearing glasses.

Looking forward to PS6 for most of these heavy games that utilise upscaling or UE5 in general

[@Hylander_1989]

Ps6 is at least three years away.
