Congratulations on FF16 being a huge success

I was hoping it was obvious given the fact that the screenshots were of entirely different characters of importance, but yes, I will elaborate since you insist on being dense.

You're comparing The Pellar to a random peasant NPC. The Pellar serves a continuous purpose in The Witcher game, while the peasant NPC does not. What's more the image you took was low quality to begin with. You're literally saying "OH MUH GAWD LOOK AT THESE GRAPHICS FOR THE RANDOM PEASANT NPC HIDDEN OFF IN A CORNER! HE DOESN'T LOOK AS DETAILED AS THIS FAR MORE IMPORTANT NPC IN THIS OTHER GAME!"

Lastly, there's far more accurate depictions of the limits of the PS5 in FFXVI, but most of them can't really be shown without spoiling the game. If you don't personally mind, you're free to look through the various later boss fights.

Here are some more "fair" pictures if you want.
First row are irrelevant side NPCs, second are main character's fiances/gfs (idk who that FF16 girl is), and last row are main characters. Pics are taken from youtube 4K playthroughs downscaled to 1080p, so youtube doesn't ruin bitrate that much. If you still insist to call me disingenuous, then I suggest to post your own comparisons to backup your claims.


Don't forget the whole point that I was talking about - that people will be surprised if 16's PC port won't run on some ~2016 gen PC, when the game barely looks better than some 8 years old Witcher 3 or 7 years old FFXV. It's not even something FF16-specific, you can use it on many new gen games, that was all the argument was about, it wasn't some "FFXVI bad", it was about games being much more demanding nowadays, while having minimal upgrades.

And yes, I've heard that FF16 depicts limits of PS5 well - performance mode which swaps to 720p and still struggles to maintain 60fps. If you want some comparisons for Eikon fights, look up FFXV's Leviathan boss fight, Titan' and some of the final fights.
