Do I recommend this game? Totally. Does it work from the get go? No. But its easily fixed Download FF13Fix + the 4GB Patcher https://github.com/rebtd7/FF13Fix/releases/tag/1.6.4 https://ntcore.com/4gb-patch/ Copy following files from the FF13Fix d3d9.dll FF13Fix.ini Paste them here: "Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY XIII\white_data\prog\win\bin" Copy the "ffxiiiimg.exe" and rename the copy "untouched.exe" Start the 4GB Patcher -> navigate to the same path as mentioned above and patch the game .exe: "ffxiiiimg.exe" Delete the "ffxiiiimg.exe.backup" (you already have the backup untouched.exe That's it. Happy gaming.
Once you install the fan patch to prevent the game from crashing this is one hell of a game. I'm not sure why it's such a controversial game. The gameplay is the peak of ATB, its super fast paced and satisfying to play. The visuals are insane too, I refuse to believe this ran on a PS3 or 360. The story and characters are all really good too. 10/10 would recommend if you're on the fence.
I played this game when it came out on the PS3 and I was mesmerised by how beautiful it looks, the soundtrack is godly, the characters have interesting stories and development, and the combat is interesting and fun. Yes the game is pretty linear but aren't other beloved FF games as well? At least to me it isn't a dealbreaker. HOWEVER if you want it to run on Steam you NEED to download the FFXIII patch and the 4gb patch, play on windowed mode and use the lowest settings your PC can get if you want to avoid random crashes and actually play the game. I almost gave up on playing it on here, but with BOTH patches and lower settings I haven't ran into any more crashes.
