Final Fantasy XVIis finally out on PC after being on the PS5 for over a year. The PC release is a bit of a mixed bag, and while there are plenty of settings to tweak, it has some odd choices that don’t make a lot of sense on PC. For instance, the cutscenes and the photo mode are locked at 30 FPS for some reason. Here is how you can remove the 30 FPS cap in the cutscenes of Final Fantasy XVI using Lyall’s excellent patch.
Remove the 30 FPS Cap in Final Fantasy XVI Cutscenes
The patch created by Lyall doesn’t just fix theultrawide issuesin Final Fantasy XVI but also unlocks the 30 FPS cap from the cutscenes as well.
Like their previous patches, installing this is pretty simple, and you can follow the steps below:
After you’re done, the cutscenes will no longer be locked to 30 FPS, which can look very jarring when switching from gameplay.
This isn’t the only thing the patch does, but it also lets you adjust the field of view, and enable frame generation during cutscenes, while also adding motion blur. you’re able to turn off any of these additional features by editing theFFXVIFix.inifile using a text editor like Notepad or Notepad++.
