Revolutionary Final Fantasy 16 103 Update Irresistibly Enhances Gameplay as Players' Desires Met
Square Enix swiftly responds to player feedback with Final Fantasy 16's 103 update, addressing key concerns and enhancing gameplay, just weeks after the game's release
Content: Final Fantasy 16, which was highly anticipated, has released an update to version 1.03 in response to player feedback and to include a popularly requested feature. The game's first post-launch update received positive reception on social media, with players expressing gratitude towards the developers for their swift response.
At present, Final Fantasy 16 stands as one of the highest-rated games of 2023. It has also achieved significant sales success, breaking records as the top-selling PS5 game in Japan with over 336,000 units sold. Globally, the game has sold over three million units within its initial release period. While this falls short of the five million units sold by its predecessor, Final Fantasy 15, it is worth noting that Final Fantasy 16's sales are solely based on the PS5, which has a smaller user base. Despite some flaws in the game, particularly in its visuals and the intense Eikon battles, the 1.03 update has addressed certain issues.
Final Fantasy 16 version 1.03, with a compact size of 267 MB, now includes the option to adjust or disable motion blur. This highly requested feature became necessary when reports emerged of players experiencing motion sickness and discomfort during gameplay. The motion blur can now be easily controlled with a slider, allowing users to slide it down to zero or revert to the original level five before the update.
Moreover, three new control types have been introduced. One of these, Type D, specifically caters to players accustomed to dodging by pressing the Circle button, as it switches the Evade and Eikonic Feat buttons. Furthermore, the camera sensitivity settings for horizontal and vertical movements have been expanded, and stability enhancements have been made to the menus. While the impact of these changes on Final Fantasy 16's endgame remains to be seen, players on social media have taken notice and appreciate the swift response of Creative Business Unit 3 in addressing the motion blur concerns.
Content: Final Fantasy 16 offers an array of exciting features and numerous challenges for players to conquer, making it a thrilling and enjoyable experience. It is now accessible on PS5, and only time will reveal the future improvements and adjustments.
