Yeah you should clean your console regularly. As for me, no prob so far playing FF16 on graphic mode.

Holy shit it's actually a thing. PS5 consoles are overheating and crashing when playing FF16 in graphics mode. So it's either jerky / blurry graphics, or overheating and crashing? Hmmm tough choice.

As someone who is actively posting in Xbox , you sure have a crap load of things to say to a PS5 exclusive as much as the game isn't perfect , far from it.


Mine isn't overheating or crashing. Haven't crash once in 70 hours of playing .



Also , maybe read the articles you link . The same ppl are saying same thing happening to octopath II , that game shouldn't be overheating a PS5 so maybe the issue isn't specific to just FF16 to begin with .

I have a PS5 and FF16, this would be something to watch out for. And it's not just Pushsquare that wrote about it, some other publications and Youtube channels covered it too. We don't know for sure how widespread is the issue, or if there are any common themes between affected users.

things i dislike after playing 12 hours

1) no mini map
2) side quests are just there for the sake of being there, crap rewards, fetch quest, kill mob
3) so call crafting is basically unlock new stuff together as msq progress
4) no motivation to "explore" the map since get crap loots
5) cannot remap button sigh, occasionally will press 'O' to evade,
6) combats so far, learn the enemies moveset, dodge, hit, rinse and repeat....

i think the game is more to seeing the story instead of playing RPG

We have a live case above already in lowyat who overheat

Agree on your opinion

Here's some add on from me:

1) cannot MANUAL RUN and took so long time to activate RUN
2) The so call Phoenix Shift or Evade on ground outside combat mode has the worst "stop feel"
3) available skill slot to use are too limited =.=
4) I feel like playing mobile game such as Genshin Impact (quit 2 months later after day 1 launch)
5) our companion NPC who is following us during exploration just too quiet (except cutscene), i only can hear Torgal's breathing and fighting sound most of the time


Even it is action-based game, i probably still prefer to be like FF7 remake style, got a bit FF JRPG left
and i can select skills that i want to use anytime

Patch out. Thank God new D E F are all catered for O as dodge. I used E.

O = dodge
R1 = melee
R2 = range
L2 = special

Ok la. L1 still oddly mapped as target though.

Motion blur slider is a decent addition. But what would be better is to separate motion blur for camera movement and per-object animation motion blur.

This means that the slider should only affect camera movement, not both at the same time.

overall the patch fixed the most complain issue that is motion blur and so this make the gameplay better a lot for those having issue with it.

Performance mode best motion blur setting = 1

Graphics mode best motion blur setting = 3

It's mostly preferential because motion blur is applied to camera also (instead of just object and pixels). But I find that those are the sweet spot.

Same for me 3 with Graphic mode setting. Turning off motion blur feel weird for me and setting to 3 seems work best to my eyes.

Motion blur is needed for low framerates, more so for OLED screens.
