- PC exclusive graphical features include a new lighting engine, an alternate color palette, glare and texture filtering improvements, with 4K resolution support.
- Generally agreed that this game performs much better than XIII and XIII-2, with better optimization. Many players report solid 60 FPS.

Essential improvements
This mod restores the Siegfried garb. It also restores the 14 adornments, but only after completing the game once.
The ability to give custom names to schemata was taken out of the PC version. This utility effectively re-enables that function, and adds the ability to lock names to specific slots.

Issues fixed
Game becomes stuck at loading screen
This issue is seemingly caused by the user's Anti Virus software (Avast in particular) deleting files after installation[citation needed]
|
- Add an exception in your Anti Virus software for the installation folder, default is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\LIGHTNING RETURNS FINAL FANTASY XIII
- Verify the integrity of the game cache in Steam
- Once the files have been downloaded, start the game and all should be well
