Key points
- Includes the "Easy" mode from Final Fantasy XIII Ultimate Hits International.
- Good general performance with efficient CPU and GPU usage.[1][2]
- Contains 720p assets (such as font and HUD),[3][4] poorly encoded 720p Bink FMVs with minor artifacts,[3][5][6], inconsistent FPS, low audio volume and no controller vibration support.
- Custom resolutions featured up to the max display resolution (including 4K), shadow resolution and anti-aliasing (MSAA) options were added in an 18MB patch on December 11.[7] Whether or not the patch helps performance is a "your mileage may vary" situation.

Essential improvements

The game at 2560x1440 resolution.
Remove unused FMVs to free up space
- Features dual audio English and Japanese for the ROW release.[3] Removing the FMV files for either language frees about 20 GB of space.[8]
- Verification and updating by Steam will redownload the files.[9]

Video settings
- Adjust shadow resolution in the launcher or else they may appear pixelated and jagged.[10]
Input settings
- Only supports DirectInput despite recommending an XInput controller (will not use the XInput driver of a controller). Controller mapping is locked to be the same as XInput controllers. Lacks controller vibration support entirely (found in the console versions).[3][11][12]

Issues unresolved
Inconsistent FPS
- While there are several workarounds and fixes for inconstant FPS (an issue not entirely unique to the PC port[13][14]), for some this remains unresolved and may be due to issues with the game itself rather than tied to resource usage such as the GPU or CPU.[15][16]

Issues fixed

Could not secure sufficient VRAM
- This issue occurs when launching the game due to the inability to allocate the required VRAM.[17]
- Check if you meet the system requirements through Steam. It can be done directly by entering
steam://checksysreqs/292120in a web browser. There are additional checks such as Can You RUN it available.[17] - Run "dxdiag.exe" and ensure at least 256MB is shown under "Approx. Total Memory" under the "Display" tab.[17]

Abnormal eyelashes and hair

Abnormal eyelashes and hair with Lightning.
- This issue occurs when MSAA is disabled as it's required for proper alpha to coverage.[18]
- This fix is for Nvidia users. Normally AMD users cannot force AA off with the GPU control panel.

~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/292120/. - Use Wine's registry editor to access any Windows registry paths.
- The app ID (292120) may differ in some cases.
- Treat backslashes as forward slashes.
