What are people's scores here? I got around 4000 with a 1070 on High Quality 1080 w/ Fullscreen. Seems decent, I guess.
On the benchmark, I got Fairly High Score of 5400 on Standard Settings (estimating between 40-60 fps). I use a GTX 1060 6gb max Q, and a i5-7300hq with 8 gb ram (Dell Inspiron 7577 Gaming). Seems like I did ok but the stuttering is so bad! Why is this a problem on the PC version? Really hope they iron this out...

On my setup (GTX 970, i5 4690k 4.00 Ghz OC'd and 16 gigs ram) I got 6455 and average of about 62~ fps. That is the medium setting as I really don't plan on using the Nvidia exclusive effects, so I'm very happy with it.

Also, level 120 Aranea is a really fun fight, I've always wanted for them to make some other way to fight her besides the chapter select

Tbh, I envy the first time players, they'll get to have such a superior first time experience with this game compared to day one buyers.

I should've done the standard setting. I didn't know the High settings would have such unnecessary bloat. I'd rather a steady and high frame rate over graphics any day. Plus, it seems the engine still requires some massive optimization. Which I assume (and hope) will come with continued use by different developers.

FF XV for the PC was built from the ground up, is a generation ahead of the console version

As Tabata said, the team is currently squeezing out every available second to complete the game. He then asked PC gamers to wait a bit longer and confirmed that the Final Fantasy XV Windows Edition was built from the ground up just for the PC, and that – as a result of that – it is a generation ahead of what Square Enix delivered on consoles.

Just one month and four days until the Royal Edition/Pack comes out, and I'm excited. What are you guys looking forward to in the Royal Edition/Pack? For me, I'm looking forward to exploring the expanded Insomnia, the new boss fights, and whatever new story content there is in the expanded Chapter 14 the most.

interesting, but Alterna is called Versus on the spanish localization.

Alterna basically teleports the enemies to another dimension, and Versus, based on one of the leaks, was the name of the realm of Etro and the dead... in XVs case, the dimension of the soul of the crystal?

If it's a text archive-like thing, then I'm seriously amused. Remember everyone complaining about XIII's Datalog being almost compulsory reading? Why does that sound familiar, only without the "almost"?
I remember people saying they hated the Datalog in XIII because it was required reading because it has crucial info for the story you will not know about unless you read it, while they would have liked something like that in XV just to have bios for the characters and recaps on the events that have transpired so far. I mean KH does that too, but the way XIII series handeled it is the way to not do one.

Like is the War of Transgression even mentioned once in the story for FF13 despite being a major event from the past? Etro isn't even mentioned once in the game either and even in XIII-2 and LR only gets fleshed out in the Datalogs instead of the game itself properly, same as whole fleshed out backstory for Caius, Yeul, Lindzei etc, that never happen during the games dialog or cutscenes.

The way the Beastiary works in XV as it is now is more like a Pokedex, and the character Bios in Comrades is basically just a brief description of the character and who they are, rather than page and pages or compulsory backstory that you can only find there. Even the Cosmogony passages in XV are found within the world in the books that you can find in different places, so them adding a menu section that collects all those to read the ones you found is basically the same thing as reading Xehanorts notes or like reading the documents you find in Ep Prompto/Ep Ignis.

Point taken. I'd forgotten it had lots of crucial info. I tended to understand XIII from just the cutscenes alone. The Datalogs provided a little extra flavour. XIII-2 was another matter.
