“Final Fantasy XVI“the long-awaited action RPG, has caused problems for some players due to the excessive motion blura visual effect that has been widely criticized in games.
What is motion blur?
O motion blur is a graphic effect used to achieve various purposes. One of them, for example, is to convey the sensation of speed, disguise low frame rates or even provide more fluid gameplay.
However, the main reason for the complaint from “Final Fantasy XVI” players is that Square Enix did not provide an option to disable it, making motion blur mandatory.
In light of this, players have taken to Reddit to express their discomfort, stating that “Final Fantasy XVI” has the most intense motion blur ever seen in a video game.
Some players have even reported severe nausea, to the point of having to take breaks during the game. Despite enjoying the game overall, the motion blur has caused headaches and discomfort for many players.
Digital Foundry’s John Linneman noted that nausea caused by motion blur appears to be more intense when players make fast, erratic camera movements, as opposed to slower movements.
So far, Square Enix has not commented on these complaints, although the issue was identified during pre-launch testing.
“Final Fantasy XVI” went gold three months before release, and the developer released a small patch on day one.
While the game has been received positively, with praise for the voice acting and new features such as Active Time Lore, the issue of motion blur has received significant attention.
“Final Fantasy XVI” pays homage to the franchise’s legacy and has been praised for its engaging narrative.
