I've always been on and off again with the game throughout the years (and never till completion), but having watched Digital Foundry's recent excellent DF Retro episode of Final Fantasy XIII makes me want to give it a try for the first time on PC. I did have questions I'm hoping can be addressed before pulling the trigger though.
My setup is as follows: RTX 2060 / i5-9400F @ 2.90GHz / 16 GB RAM
Does the game run uncapped and at 60fps out the box, and do you think my PC is enough to handle it? Or are there workarounds I'll need to look into?
Any mod suggestions? DF mentions there are fixes for higher FMV playback, higher-res models, and gameplay tweaks. Can folks point me to the best ones to use, and do you think they would be a big hit on performance for a setup such as mine?
Going forward, if I decide to give XIII-2 and Lightning Returns a go as well, are the PC ports also considered the definitive ways to play, or are the console versions on current gen just as viable?
Any other PC-specific issues or quirks I should know about too? Thanks!
