In a brief interview with WCCFTech, Takeshi Aramaki, Technical Director and Lead Programmer on FINAL FANTASY XV at Square Enix, revealed that the team is looking into implementing real-time ray tracing effects to the game.
As Aramaki said, Square Enix is currently looking into the
possibility of using raytracing to depict reflections in Final Fantasy XV.
“Ray tracing is a technology that we’re tackling with much interest, and we’re now looking into the possibility of using raytracing to depict reflections in FINAL FANTASY XV WINDOWS EDITION. I believe it’s possible to integrate raytracing into the game engine later and use it to express certain in-game elements.”
Aramaki has also revealed some additional new information about the DLSS support that will be shortly coming to Final Fantasy XV. From the looks of it, DLSS will remove the blurry side-effects that come with TAA (although the resolution will not be as ideal as when running a game at native 4K).
“The resolution of the texture reduces partially at times, but polygon edges are much cleaner and we’ve been able to realize blur reductions. The performance significantly increases with the 4K resolution and the framerate also shows a substantial improvement.”
Unfortunately, Aramaki did not reveal when DLSS and the Vulkan API will be made available to Final Fantasy XV!

There’s barely any reflective objects in the game.

Peasant
Tell that to god of war,breath of the wild,horizon zero dawn,red dead redemption 1 and 2,super mario odyssey,bloodborne…and thats just this gen lets not talk about classic console games throughout the years.
I love pc and its the best system, but i hate pc elitism its misplaced and ignorant.
Im a gamer foremost i enjoy games on any system as long as its good.
I like games when i use my brain.
You have a brain?!
Amen.
They keep treating this game like the demo it is..
it’s good that they add more graphics features. it is a nice looking game. I wish though they would add more characters and areas. i mean FFXV has more content then a typical single player game with all of it’s DLC.
It’s kinda awkward though that FFXIII still has more total characters and places than FFXV all together. understandably FFXV was originally a spin-off in the XIII Crystal universe. Anyways, i hope the addition of 4 new DLCs don’t disappoint.
They should think about adding in an actual cohesive storyline that isn’t a complete embarrassment to the series before adding in more graphical effects.
the story is not the best but it’s understandable.
Basic story – The political power in FFXV is shifting between a Monarchy and republic/dictatorship. the gods of FFXV were allies of the Monarchy, and the Knights served the gods. so long as the monarchy protected the crystal.
the crystal – the crystal is what’s used to control the monsters of the night. when the crystal is used there are no monsters that roam and populate the land.
Rings – they control summons. both Noctis and Ardyn can use rings. so long as they have rings they become like demigods.
Both Noctis and Ardyn are Caelums in last name, which means either one can take the throne. Idolas is not a Caelum so he can not have the throne. instead Idolas wants the Crystal to control the monsters and supersede the throne by having the power of the gods.
Verstael – he is neither a monarch nor a dictator but a mad scientist, he wants the power of gods through his engineering capabilities. he helped supply Idolas with a mindless army of expendable soldiers. which out number the Monarchy.
Luna – is future wife of Noctis, oracle and ambassador to the gods nuff said. she helped protect The Ring of the Lucii while the politics of Insomnia adjusted.
that’s pretty much it.
Im waiting for vulkan this game needs better performance and im sure vulkan will help
Very much this. Adding raytracing on top of the already poor performance sounds like a bad idea to me.
But when is the game getting good?
Shut up. Move onto the next game already, away from this garbage.
Maybe I will try it out in 2 years when real video cards hit the market. Right now my 1080 ti is running just great.
People supposedly waited ten years for this. lol
