Square Enix have finally heard our cries and dropped a Final Fantasy 16 update to give us a break from the eye-watering motion blur.
To that end, here’s some good news: you can adjust the motion blur any way you choose. You may adjust the intensity from a gentle glow to a blinding light display with a convenient slider ranging from one to five. But if you’re not a fan at all? Go ahead, and turn it all the way down to zero – no more mandatory motion blur!
Furthermore, they’re also hooking us up with some camera settings. Don’t you want the camera tailing you like a pesky goblin whenever you move or bash some baddies? Now you can turn that off.
They’re introducing three new layouts labeled D, E, and F on the controller front. Though not the most creative names, but what’s on the inside counts. They’ve also buffed some menu stability issues and fixed some text glitches.
Here’s a fun one for all social media fiends: sharing a kickass screenshot of Clive torching a wyvern. Or maybe you’ve got an intense boss fight you want to share on YouTube? There is an automatic #FF16 hashtag inlcusion, courtesy of Square Enix’s devs team.
Final Fantasy 16 launched as a PS5 exclusive on June 22, and it’s been straight-fire since day one, raking in the dough and scoring serious critical acclaim. Read our Final Fantasy 16 review to find out more in details about the latest release.
