Final Fantasy XVI - Will It Play? on the Steam Deck and ROG Ally

[@alandiegovillalobos]

Thank you!!

[@shirokuro73]

Thanks for this, I'm back and forth on purchasing the PC version or not. I have a high end PC, plus a SD OLED, and a ROG Ally X. I have the game on PS5 and I'm about half way through maybe, and while I enjoy the story and gameplay, I don't like the experience of it on PS5. I don't find 30fps acceptable on PS5 and I'm really disappointed with SE for not developing/releasing it with a proper 60fps mode on PS5. The 30fps sometimes gives me a headache, it's so jarring. I think it's acceptable on a handheld, not acceptable on a PS5. If I played on my PC, I'm sure I'd get a fantastic experience, plus be able to play it portably on my handhelds - but I'm also not sure I want to start my game over from scratch. Thanks again for your video and your testing!

Agree with a lot of what you said. For a handheld, I think a solid 30fps is more than acceptable, but I'd have higher standards for my PC and consoles. And I get where you're coming from. While I didn't buy this on my PS5, there's plenty of other games that I have had to consider if I want to rebuy on the PC after starting on console.

Try playing ff16 on an oled windows os

Why I get always error ( the operation completed successfully) in cutscenes, I stopped all the Overlays and stopped the sleep mode , what else I should do, I can't get through the cutscenes.

How do I get it to play on there for some reason and it’s downloaded on steam but it won’t go into the game for some reason it loads and then it closes. Is there a setting I need to do to get it to work what are the best settings because it keeps starting to load the game and will not go into it is it because of my former play with a regular PC?

[@jaredconyers]

Your former play on PC shouldn't impact it since there's cloud saves, and you "should" be able to pick up where you left off. If you're on the Steam Deck, you could try launching it in desktop mode first, see if that allows you to get into the game.

[@mwalvis43]

@ yeah I know I was just trying to find out some good settings for PC, but I’ve got a handheld now that works better than my laptop but I’m still getting some crashing sometimes

[@pedros1747]

I have SD lcd and rog ally z1. But my rog ally is struggling to run it. Give me some tips. I didnt even try it on the SD.

[@jaredconyers]

For the Ally do you have the Z1 or the Z1 extreme? I'm using the z1 extreme model, I've never used the base but read that it just doesn't keep up in terms of performance.

[@pedros1747]

@@jaredconyers It is a z1 extreme. I'm aldo experiência constant freezes which make me reset the console. It is irritating. Lol

[@MarluxiaX2]

​@pedros1747 Set the VRAM to 8GB and use XeSs Scaling to Balanced, and then used AMD Frame Generation. Cap framerate on Ally to 60 including in game to 60. Game will run from 58-75 frames per second. And obviously make sure you've got the latest drivers installed too

[@lipeng3038]

⁠if set to the Xess,the frame gen cannot use

[@frostkazuya666]

In my rog z1 ex it freezes a lot on loadings or after quests so it is not Playable. But I am much further in the game .

The game looks horrible on the Steamdeck and the Ally. Then again people have to be reminded that these handhelds are even weaker than the PS4 Pro.

[@jaredconyers]

Yeah, I definitely don't think this looks like a new(ish) game on the handhelds, but like you said, I think there needs to be somewhat realistic expectations on how powerful these devices are and what they actually offer. Users can get a "playable" experience, it may just not always be the best looking.

[@Neveemind]

Also a Nintendo switch is weaker than a snapdragon mobile phone but switch has more sales than PS 5 :) . Doesn’t matter handhelds are here to stay live with that.
