I totally agree; I hate 30 FPS, but even that's better than the shockingly bad looking performance mode(s) and at least it's a consistent and smooth 30 FPS with great frametimes (which developers seem to struggle with on PC).The patch for visuals and other stuff is apparently out, will test it in a couple of hours.
EDIT: No surprises, as per Squeenix's usual ineptitude when it comes to fixing stuff, we now have two performance modes: "sharp" aka "blurry" and "soft" aka "blurrier" They haven't fixed a thing, just added a useless filter on top of something that still looks like it renders at 720p in 2024.
Surprisingly, Quality mode seems to look better so I'll just treat this as a 30fps game and force through. They'll never fix things nor add a much needed 40fps mode. Just like they never did with FFXVI. It's the first game ever where I genuinely think it's better to stomach 30fps than use perf mode.
Shame, as I'm enjoying the experience so far. It probably won't be a 10/10 by the end but it's solid and the atmosphere is great.
I just don't understand why they can't use a better upscaler. I suspect even AMD's FSR 2+ would be a huge improvement, it's open source and is readily available.
The base resolution is higher than 1080P in performance mode, but it looks much lower than this, so whatever they are using is not good enough.
