Key points
- Features dual audio English and Japanese for the ROW release, though as mandatory downloads.[2]
- Relatively low CPU and GPU usage for running reasonably on low spec setups.[3][4][5]
- Few configurable options with an internal resolution lock of 1280x720 and 720p assets.[2][6]
- Various frame limiter and other issues can cause inconsistent FPS.
- FMVs are worse than the PS3 version with slight artifacts due to the Bink compression method used.[2][7][8]

Essential improvements
GeDoSaTo
- GeDoSaTo can modify the game's internal resolution, anti-aliasing, Vsync, and shadow settings, and downsample from higher resolutions for improved anti-aliasing.
Download, then make sure it is updated with the included GeDoSaToUpdater tool. When done, go to Edit Settings, choose the "ffxiiiimg" profile in the bottom left and tweak the profile to your liking while keeping in mind the performance impact of each option (don't forget to save). Then simply run the game.
Note that as the assets of the game are only 720p. Depending on your configuration the 2D textures (such as font and HUD) can appear very pixelated.
720p upscaling for NVIDIA users
- Ignore this if you want to use GeDoSaTo.
For NVIDIA users, in the NVIDIA control panel, under "Adjust desktop size and position", perform scaling set to GPU instead of the display. Also set the "Aspect Ratio" to "Full screen". This leaves the monitor at its resolution and allows the GPU to upscale the game instead of relying on the monitor.
Remove unused FMVs to free up space
- If you aren't interested in Japanese voice acting you can free up about 20 GB of space by removing Japanese FMV files.[9] Verification and updating by Steam will redownload the files, however.[10]

Issues unresolved
Inconsistent FPS
- Many experience erratic FPS. There are several workarounds and fixes, but for some this remains unresolved and appears to be due to issues with the game itself rather than tied to resource usage such as GPU/CPU et al..

Could not secure sufficient VRAM
- This issue occurs when launching the game due to the inability to allocate the required VRAM.[14]
- Check if you meet the system requirements through Steam. It can be done directly by entering
steam://checksysreqs/292120
in a web browser. There are additional checks such as Can You RUN it available.[14] - Run "dxdiag.exe" and ensure at least 256MB is shown under "Approx. Total Memory" under the "Display" tab.[14]

Notes
- ↑ File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/292120/
in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (292120) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
