Final Fantasy XV is on it’s way to PC, but gamers have been worried due to the size of the game was supposedly going to be 170GB.
The Final Fantasy director Hajime Tabata has corrected the mistake of Square Enix saying on their press release that Final Fantasy XV would require 170GB of HDD.
Tabata: “That was a mistake, actually. That was a communications mistake – something got put in a memo that really shouldn’t have. What that is [the specifications that went out to press] based on the specs that we’re running the demo on today. Again, the final specs for the release version haven’t been fixed yet. There’s a very good chance they can change. Someone put that in there and it got reported as the recommended specs, but that’s not the final fixed version. The fact that it became that number is a communication error”.
The demo systems that Square Enix were using to show of the game were using NVIDIA’s GTX 1080Ti and were hitting that amazing 4K resolution but Tabata also had a comment on this: “at least as far as the same level as the console edition, maybe looking to going even further than that in future”.

Hello! My name Jak Connor I’m based in Australia and I picked up PCgaming as child when I was around ten years old. I mostly played RTS games back then, putting many hours into Age of Empires 1/2 and Age of Mythology. My love for PC gaming grew and stayed with me as I now have a passion for gaming and the amazing technology jumps developers show us all the time. I pledge that I will be bringing you fine people of DSOgaming the most unique and interesting news I can find!
I thought that 170 GB was bizarre for this game. iirc Star Citizen is the largest I have heard of at possibly 100 GB when finished but that is more understandable than the requirements for this game. Also I think the recommended 1080 Ti that is floating around the net was only for 4K but that’s what is normally recommended for the very, very few gamers on 4K anyway with a game that is demanding on the GPU. I’m guessing they will recommend a 1070 for 1080p and you can probably get by just fine with a 1060 or RX 580 by turning a few settings down a little but we’ll see.
ShtAMD sucks nvidia masterrace

Gears of War 4 is already over 100GB.
I remembered it being 80 GB at launch but yeah, looks like it’s over 100 GB now. sheesh games are getting f’ing huge.
4K Textures + video coupled with a lack of proper compression, yeah.
Hell, if you go into Vanquish’s files, you’ll note that it features around 20GBs worth of video & only 3 GBs of actual game files, it’s insane.
Moonman’s Monument to Booty also had this issue, the 50GB was mostly uncompressed video for the cutscenes.
Why the hell can’t they compress those videos?
Too much money required.
20gb of laggy low res cutscenes.
why would anyone who buys the game will care
anyone who doesn’t will have to care cause they have to store a copy game in case they want to play in future lol the one who buys have the cloud copy

“Final Fantasy XV is on it is way to PC” xD
Doesn’t that mean it’s currently taking 170GB? Also he doesn’t really confirm they’re planning to reduce that, he just said that the final specs will be different. Hopefully he actually means they’ll reduce it.
There’s probably loads of uncompressed audio and such that will reduce the size greatly come release.
Maybe the dev’ build uses ‘fully uncompressed pixels’, as Microsoft like to say!
I think that’s what it means. But there should be plenty of room to reduce that even using lossless compression techniques.
Sounds more like they’ll be increasing it…. Especially once they patch in all that yummy money-milking DLC!
What is it with Jak’s fondness for hyperbole in relation to 4K resolution graphics? In this article we have “that amazing 4K resolution” and in the Destiny 2 article from him on 16th August we had “that amazing 4K”. How, er, ‘amazing’!
We are currently within the process of finally getting to the stage in technology where 4K @ 100Hz+ is actually becoming possible. I say “amazing 4K” because well, it truly is amazing… we have been using 1440p displays and 1080p displays for quite sometime now, putting emphasis on the aspect of the game that discusses 4K is something I quite enjoy as it is a massive leap in technology for us and should be recognized.
usb stick , coverd as a sword from the game that would be awesome !
It’s not 170gb it’s 169gb xD
I was going to go with 200 😛
It dosen’t matter. It’s still unifinished game as Deus Ex Mankind Divided in term of story. Greed Enix and his bullcr°°p business.
It’s OK, I wasn’t planning on playing this japanese emo-fest anyway.
Either someone forgot to compress or there’s alot of blu-ray video…..
The only thing I am worried about is S/E previous FF games. I mean other then FF14 Online everything else on PC has been very hit or miss for performance. And the whole 13 Saga on PC was just a mess with Frame Pace issues.
I do expect you’ll need at least a gtx 1070 to play it on high settings and 60 FPS. Always expect the worst and you won’t be disappointed.
1060 6gb is enough for 1080p you dumbass. 1070 is for 2k.
Tell that to Deus Ex Mankind Divided. I have a 1070 and couldn’t stay above 60fps 100% of the time. I had to lower some settings.
Either way, I have 10 terabytes. I’m sure I’ll find room for final fantasy XV lol.
What that is [the specifications that went out to press] based on the specs that we’re running the demo on today.Doesn’t that mean it’s currently taking 170GB?

“game were using NVIDIA’s GTX 1080Ti and were hitting that amazing 4K ”
What 4K !? It was like 90-95% of 4K they changed resolution under 4K, instead to turn at native 4K, reason ? We all know why.
Screen with in game settings confirms that.
the game is trash so doesnt really matter… dont give in to this nonsense if this is going to be $30 or so maybe its worth a pickup but knowing Squeenix they are going to try and push this garbage for full price …
the dude is saying the game isn’t ready to run 60fps at all , it’s made for consoles”F your green a*s GPUs” in other words
170gigs and it’s not even 40K? wtf SE.
“were hitting that amazing 4K resolution but Tabata also had a comment on
this: “at least as far as the same level as the console edition, maybe
looking to going even further than that in future”.”
huh? same level as the console edition but theyre running on 4k?
