There are a lot of scenes

• It’s normal, because it’s the beginning of the game. The rest of the game looks more like the bonus part included in the demo, but there will also be plenty of scenes in the most important moments of the story.

Lip-syncing isn’t terrible

• This comment is based on the Japanese version. The creators say they considered bringing lip-syncing back to Japanese, but abandoned it because it would have been too much work, and the AI ​​tools didn’t work well.

Where is the minimap? Why aren’t there more options?

• Square Enix and Sony are currently looking into this issue, but the team advises dusting off their console if you’ve had it for a while.

The game is still very dark

• FFXVI It is optimized for viewing in HDR, so it is recommended to activate it if your TV is compatible. On the one hand, this means that the game may appear darker on TV in SDR (without HDR). It is then advisable to adjust the brightness.
