'Final Fantasy XV' Windows Edition News: Described as One Generation of Console Version
The latest installment in the widely popular Japanese role-playing game (JRPG) by developer Square Enix, "Final Fantasy XV," will soon be released for the PC platform, which is slated to be a major improvement upon its console counterparts, to the excitement of numerous fans.
In a video update message by "Final Fantasy XV" Windows Edition director Hajime Tabata, he addressed the Steam community to proudly report that the PC version of the game was built from scratch, and is not going to be a console to Windows port. This means that the developers took extra time to optimize an exact copy of the game especially for the PC, which will feature advanced graphics and other system features.
On top of that, Tabata recommended interested players to update their hardware, since it will be sporting significant improvements that is one generation ahead compared to when it was initially released for the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4 back in 2016. As of now, players will be able to download a benchmarking tool to ascertain whether their current setup will be able to run "Final Fantasy XV."
