It's so obvious from these screenshots that consoles can't handle this game. The resolution clearly drops to sub-HD during action and it looks really ugly. FFXV deserves a PC release, otherwise these pretty graphics will be lost in the sea of compromises.

The screenshots are messed up. You can tell even by looking at the UI elements thats there is something seriously wrong here and its NOT the game but the screenshots. Just play the demo on PS4 and you can see how it looks.

I don't care if it's under 1080p on the consoles, it looks amazing in motion in that trailer. probably one of the best looking games from an artistic point of view. the trade-off they made to show off what they have is worth it.

as for PC sqaure said they may consider releasing a "higher spec" PC version later on. for now they're focusing on the current gen.

Don't have a ps4, but I watched some gameplay here on gamersyde and still looks rough as hell. I don't mind aliasing as much as some people, but it really sticks out here with sub 1080p res and dithered shadows. I'd much rather play it on PC.

Excerpt from an Engadget article:

FFXV director Hajime Tabata told Engadget that the studio isn't currently working on a PC version of the game. But, Tabata said he was "aware of the big call for a PC version."

"Unfortunately we weren't able to do simultaneous development on a PC and console version for XV," he said. "We had to focus on the console version and our goal was to maximize, optimize everything for the HD consoles. Once that's done, then we will definitely take a good, hard look at PC and what we need to do, and consider all our options. But right now we aren't decided, we're still considering a lot of things."

It probably means Square Enix will analyse what they would need to do and how much it would cost to make a PC version, and how profitable it could be. Plus they will probably take into account how well the consoles' versions sell.

Still, I believe Square Enix will release Final Fantasy 15 on PC eventually, if not in 2017, maybe in 2018. There's a also a chance of Square Enix releasing it on Nintendo's NX this year or next year, if next year, they could release the PC and NX version at the same time.

Another option would be to release Final Fantasy 15 for PC alongside the Final Fantasy 7 Remake for consoles, would be like a consolation prize for PC gamers if Final Fantasy 7 Remake doesn't get a PC version and/or a simultaneous release with consoles.

Would be a way to not let PC gamers without a new Final Fantasy game in 2017 or 2018. Just gotta wait for more news after the consoles' release.

There's an extreme high chance it will land on pc, especially with that DX12 tech demo they made a while ago. and then that "Denuvo" Anti-Tamperware to boot. they're just giving the consoles some love justice, after putting their hardcore fans through 10 years of waiting. I would do the same if i was in SE's shoes.

Thanks for this! Watching the Japanese trailer, it seems clear to me that the footage is taken from the PS4 version. Very little AA in most of that and res is def no higher than 1080. Overall, however, I think it looks pretty much the best looking open world game I have seen. The sense of scale and the believability this creates in the environments is on point.

Sure, it's a little bit complicated though.
First set up a proxy server on your PC or Mac, I used SquidMan.
Then set up your PS4's network and specify your PC or Mac's LAN address and port as proxy server.
Next use a network packet analyzer to monitor packets sent by PS4 via your PC or Mac, I used Wireshark.
Finally you open the trailer in PS4's PS Store, and check the analyzer's log to find a likely HTTP packet that comes with a video address, then you can download the video using whatever tool you like.

And FYI, this approach doesn't apply to PS Store US, whose videos (either free or not) are transmitted using HTTPS protocol and unable to decrypt.

Words cannot describe my joy..after waiting 10 years for this game....finally will have it released on my birthday. It's like fate has finally smiled a pond me. I pre ordered the deluxe edition from amazon. Uncharted 4, Dark Souls III, and Final Fantasy XV will be the three games I'm most looking forward to playing this year.

The Platinum demo was incredibly boring and made me even less excited about this game. I hope they release another one before the game ships.

It was just a little tech demo. I think it was quite fun for a tech demo. They said on numerous occassions before hand that it was in fact a tech demo.

Not sure why you think them doing a DX12 tech demo has any bearing on their actual game roadmap. They were merely experimenting. Clearly, that DX12 tech has no real bearing on this title. I believe exactly what Mr. Tabata said. They will evaluate and decide if they feel a PC version makes sense. Console sales will also have a lot to do with it. But I think they'll do well there so it's up to if they think a PC build is worth the effort.
