So it's now March 19th and this 2nd performance update is nowhere to be found. I called bullshit on this way back when and surmised it was about the update that already rolled out which didn't improve it too much.

I mean come on, this was some random ass quote from a press tour in the Philippines with no further confirmation or follow up.

Probably. Afaik FF16 shitty performance mode never got fixed either.

I just increased sharpness on my TV and got used to it. It's not ideal but it's way better than 30fps, still a shame that they couldn't fix something like this before release. There is also some weird stuff happening to objects near the camera.

Performance was fine for my shitty eyes when I played it.

It varies from decent to acceptable to grossly ugly. Indoors areas are pretty good, but open world areas look like vaseline smears. That said it's still a great game. Can't wait for ps5 pro

Watch there not be a PS5 Pro patch until you have to pay for it with an INTERGRADE version. Graphics mode seems to have its FPS capped at 30 so you can’t brute force that to 60 FPS.

Oh well, PC version will come out on Steam in 2026

New patch


Quickly tested it, having it on performance sharp settings looks better. Nothing amazing but a better then the heavy vaseline smear before.

Difficulty options added for Fort Condor and Gears and Gambits is great for me since I don't like either mini-game but can now complete the proto relic sections in which these two mini-games are attached to.

It’s so easy to cheese through Fort Condor, or at least it was in INTERMISSION. Haven’t gotten into Rebirth quite yet since I’m still on the former.

Not here lol It’s balls hard and then you unlock a hard mode which is even worse. I didn’t struggle too much with the other mini-game mentioned in the patch which I won’t talk about coz you haven’t played it yet but Fort Condor is a lot harder than Intermission

fort condor is easy in rebirth, even in hard mode. Just don't spam your units in the beginning and it's a piece of cake

the hardest minigame i've gotten to so far was the combat sim where you had to kill the mindflayer first, that was annoying af because you couldn't kill either of the other two accidentally and they died extremely easily because your guys kept focusing on them when not being controlled
other than that the 3d brawler one was pretty tough

@Polyh3dron yeah they were lying

So I tried the new update. Visual quality in performance mode is still not great, but it's a bit better in the open world sections. They seem to have introduced a lot of pop-in though, I think they made the LoD transition distance closer. Feels like they added a sharpening filter on as well, you can see a lot of sharpening artifacts ghosting in motion around edges because of their temporal antialiasing or whatever. Textures can still be fairly blurry in the open world, but it's better. I kinda look forward to seeing how crazy bad this game is gonna run on PC lol

Yeah you have to be selective with your unit deployment, even then I still struggled a bit. Only mini game that gave me grief lol Gambit was also alright for me as well though I still need to try hard mode

It was a direct interview (recorded in video/images) with the director of the game at the launch event.

There is no way to be more official than that no matter who made the interview.

Still seems like they have no idea about what they are doing.

Amplified sleep is the key for that fight.
