Sora96's FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 for PC Review

Recommended Posts

Motomu Toriyama and Yoshinori Kitase's FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 was released on Windows PC via Steam a year ago and today I checked out the port.
 
I have been running it on my laptop that is nearly 3 years old and has a fan in poor condition. My laptop is running Windows 10.
 
The port looks amazing and runs pretty well. The Visual Works movies are perfect. Regular cutscenes and gameplay look great. Audio is also perfect. The PC version looks amazing overall and noticeably better than the PlayStation 3 version.
 
There are plenty of settings/options in regards to graphics and controls as well. You can also change the language between English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean & Chinese for text. As for audio, English or Japanese.
 
The port also supports 60fps while I did not check the frame rate, it did go quite high at times. But it did also go low a bit.
 
All of the DLC is included for free with the exception of a few costumes due to licensing issues.
 
The Steam achievements are of course based off the PlayStation 3 trophies & Xbox 360 achievements. There's also Steam Trading Cards.
 
After playing it for awhile I found myself wanting to play more. Haha.
 
The Windows PC version of FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 is a great port aside from frame rate issues and it doesn't cost much at all.
 
8/10

And I'm still here waiting for Final Fantasy XIII to finish downloading.

The trading cards for FFXIII used to be worth a lot (back when I had it). Took me an overnight download on an external hard drive. Worth it, though!

I think the framerate issues is your PC. What graphics card is inside your laptop?

I had some frame rate issues and I have a 3gb 280x which is significantly more powerful than a ps3. I think it's just a shoddy port.
