Some of you need to give it up. The games scored better, so far. Some of you say, the game looks blurry and has a horrible frame rate. Well, I havent seen a video on the switch version yet that shows the game to have a bad framerate. I know most of those complaining are gamers on one of the other 2, and when games like this pop up on any other system, they're Almost Beligerant. The graphics s are actually really close to the ps4, the fps is just about locked at 30. So.... what's the issue? Is it because you dont like when anyone else gets a few games?

No one in here said it looks blurry or horrible frame rate. And i dont think anyone here would care about it not being ps4 exclusive anymore. Maybe you assumed that because you are one of them who hates it? The switch version scored better because it added more content after 2 years? Maybe they should keep adding more content until it scores 100 on metacritic

Wow, this is funny. There's literally someone on the first comment complaining about how the game plays worse, looks worse, did you purposely not look at the first 2 pages?.... now, there's you. You have been going back and forth with everyone almost. So I'm not surprised you came at me with my comment. So, before you make a hypocritical comment like this one again, I'd suggest you search through your own posts, and look at some before mine... the answers to your empty comment are literally, right in your face. Haha, thanks for making me laugh though. It comes off as joke post.

Hey, I have an idea. Let's make a petition. We will demand that these review sites deduct points to keep some happy. Who's in? I mean, we're over 5 pages in, and it's been almost nothing but come complaining about the score? So, I think a petition should be done to correct this travesty. We cannot allow this to stand, I say!



Picking it up later today.



Ask stefl1504 for a sig, even if you don't need one.

I gotta add my 2 cents here.

Face it guys, it's simple. They scored it higher simply because it's on the switch....and, obviously, it has less reviews (over half less) than it did on PS4. It has a lot of room for the rating to go down still.

Just sounds like your very subjective opinion over something completely meaningless. Especially when you're comparing it to a game you can't have played yet, on a system I assume you don't own.

What makes you think i dont own a switch? I played it on the ps4 and finished post content. It took me over 100 hours so the game already had more than enough content. If adding a few stuff after 2 years deserves the better score so should ff15 royal and many others.

FFXV didn't have QOL and gameplay adjustments over the other versions DQXI does which makes the game better to play through you're ignoring every other factor here it's not just more content it's QOL changes and gameplay fixes on top of more content and a classic 2d mode. I have the game on PC and the changes are welcomed ones.

It’s a definitive edition of a already great game. Having a higher score just means that the new content truly enhanced the game. If it was on PS4 the score would be just high, cut that silly stuff

Someone's bitter about the exclusive content I see.

Nah, frame rate far outweighs that. 30/sub 30 is barley playable, should always be an automatic penalty in reviews, the only reason it is not is to keep the console gamers happy. 720p and crappy visuals, more point docking should occur, PC versions should always come on top, period.

You see, your logic is flawed right out of the gate.  You do not how to look at the big picture and only want to see things that is the bubble of your opinion.  In the end, it just makes you look salty.

I have a PS4 Pro, if what you said was true to everyone I would have gotten the game for that instead.  However I utilize portability and the extra content over extra pixels.  And to say 30 fps is almost unplayable is reaching if I have ever seen it.  What you need to learn is different gamers have different priorities and needs.

You have every right to have the preferences you do, but those preferences you hold for yourself does not discredit what other versions of the game offeres for other people.  Your opinion is not law, and when you learn that fact you will find yourself a much happier gamer overall as you can spend more time playing games rather than being upset over someone wanting to play the Switch version of a game.

People concerned about inconsistent scores should look into if it's the same reviewer for both versions. Different reviewers can have different opinions even if they work for the same publication.

But there were quality of life and gameplay adjustments in FFXV Royal Edition that were not in the game that was reviewed at launch.

A few examples:
- Letting you take control of your other party members during combat.
- Fully controlling the car.
- Control a boat. Fishing from the boat
- Options to change font sizes to enhance readability.
- Aranea as a playable characters.
- New difficulty modes.
- New story sequences, quests, dungeons, skills, etc

Read what I posted again I said over other versions available not that the were non as those are in the standard versions as free updates/DLC unlike here where the other versions have no such option as of right now reviewers take this into account as well as what FFXV RE has was also on other versions.

This goes without saying, but content added to the game through DLC/updates months/years after release is not reflected in the scores it got months/years ago.

It should go without saying, that if the main example you're trying to use is a game that to this day is still such a large, flawed and unfinished mess, to the point the director of the game couldn't handle it anymore and decided to leave the company, then your argument is on shaky ground to begin with.

Fact is, you're not really comparing apples to apples here; as you've said, all of the content from the Royal Edition has been added to the game after release over time, and all of it was/is available separately for original owners of the game.
As of now everything in the definitive edition of DQXI is exclusive to that version, and it's a tightly knit package of substantial improvements, adding more polish on an already well-rounded and high-quality game.

This 100%. 4 early points in Meta is nothing for a "definitive" edition that runs at a lower resolution. I have plated this game on the Pro a year ago. It still won't sell as well in the West as a lot of people picked this up for cheap on PS4 and PC over the year. I highly doubt there is a lot of people who waited the year to play this other than the die hard fans and want to play it on a handheld system.
