Ive never had an issue with motion blur before, but in this game it's making me sick. I actually have to look away from the screen every few minutes or risk getting dizzy.
Maybe it's the motion blur combined with the relatively close-follow camera and low FOV? I can't be sure, but it is super annoying.

Same but not because of spite, just getting into D4 and being on vacation most of July… will buy this now and get to it eventually. First time in years I’ve had a lineup of games that I’m actually going to play and not have sit on the digital shelf.

I read that turning on Performance mode decreases it significantly. I haven’t tried both to check it but I did play on performance mode and didn’t have motion blur issues so there may be some truth to it. Hopefully they add a toggle for it soon, as I turn it off in every game. Such a shit feature, idk anyone who likes it.

Pretty harsh review but I actually agree with a lot of the criticisms. Game for me is really getting carried by the story. Worthwhile Itemization and any type of complexity is missing. Maybe NG+/FF mode adds some of that back in. Agree with what was said before, the level of motion blur and FSR(?) or whatever it is is giving me headaches. Can see the blur/haze around everything when rotating the camera and its just baaaaaaad. Still really digging the game and can't wait to see where the story goes. Got to Titan's(?) area last night and those last story elements before hand were crazy.

Eh the combat is great and story is great and graphically, it’s a sight to behold but yeah the RPG elements are super thin the camera needs zoomed out a bit and motion blur sucks.
Im so engaged in this thought that I’m not all that arsed about the non open world/flimsy rpg stuff. Kinda like TLOU but with much better combat and more OH SHIT/WOW moments.

Yea I decided to try Graphic mode first but the motion blur was insane. It went away with performance mode.

I honestly never thought FF really required that deep of gameplay. I mean even the deeper ones you could almost menu smash through and slap on mostly +gooder for all but the crazy bosses provided you didn’t do so shit crazy under level.

Visually impressive, really. But is this really a FF game? Feels a bit fastfood. The quicktime scenes, idk how I feel about those.

The Esper system from FF VI and the Materia system from FF VII were the best RPG elements of the series.

I've decided to bite the bullet and get a PS5 for this tomorrow.
With the comments on the RPG elements, to use a Star Wars analogy, this game is essentially "The Force Awakens" to FF13/FF15's prequel trilogy.
Final Fantasy was one bad game away from being a fallen franchise and the rehabilitation of FF14 is like "The Clone Wars" TV show for Star Wars keeping the IP relevent.
This game needs to wash away the bad taste of FF12, 13 and 15 not being finished and having shit stories. It needs to show, after FF13 and 15, that the battle system can be fun.
Sounds like it's doing that.
What I don't think it needs to do is have a complex character building system. Personally it's something I value and FF5/7/8/10 are my favorites because of it. But you fuckers like FF4 and FF9 and they have total on rails RPG elements with little input from the player.
I would like to see a FF17 with either an open world or complex character/party building though. We don't need a "Last Jedi" shitty follow up killing the IP for good.

I would suggest to not play in Graphics mode until there is an option to disable to tone down the motion blur, its really harsh on Graphics mode, but not bad at all on Performance. Not sure how this game will be on the eventual PC port, but I imagine you'll need to brute force it to get 4k 60fps. Thankfully I have zero experience with the previous FF games, so the change to combat or lack of deep rpg systems doesn't bother me at all. I've been enjoying everything the game is offering (only a couple hours past demo though). Certain characters have huge death flags over them already though, sorry Clive, but I guess you'll have to suffer a lot more.
