Final Fantasy XV: 6 Ups & 8 Downs

6. Low Frame Rate During Busy Moments

Though the game is a significant technical improvement over those earlier demos, it still leaves a lot to be desired when played on either the Xbox One or base PS4.

During battles that may contain over a dozen enemies, it's not uncommon for the frame rate to chug down to around 20fps, and this is also true when entering large city areas such as Altissia.

It can be incredibly offputting, and whether you're sensitive to frame drops or not, it's very hard not to notice such an inconsistent performance.
