Less than two weeks from its launch, Final Fantasy XVI Update 1.03 has been released that addresses some of the complaints players had, mainly about the motion blur. With the patch, players can now adjust the motion blur setting anywhere from zero to 5, zero turning it off, and 5 being the current default setting. We are looking forward to wrapping up our Final Fantasy Mode playthrough with these new options!
In our review of Final Fantasy XVI, we found the game to truly be a rollercoaster, offering some of the highest highs you’ll ever experience in a video game, along with the lowest lows.
You can see the full update notes below.
Announcing the release of update 1.03, which makes a number of improvements to Final Fantasy XVI.
This update fixes some issues and adds some new functionality. We recommend that you install this update before playing the game.
This update:
