My PC specs and some questions

[strider_sp]

I'm not sure buying this game. One of PC great advantage over other medium is that mods are available, and it seems that Nier have a great mod.

That said, the company should had released a well rounded product, or at least try to fix the problems, and this is the opposite of what I'm seeing.

I use to vote with my wallet against this behavior, i'm really tempted to wait even more just to not give money to a lazy company (look the reviews of that chrono trigger!), but this game seems good, and if the modder got to fix the game, them the experience wouldnt be bad, and this counts too.

So, my pc would run this game fine?
Phenom 955 @ 3.6G
8GB ram
R9 380 4G, first adrenalin driver
Windows 7

The game supports 21:9 ultrawide?

It goes well on 75 Hz locked? What about freesync?

I have no knowledge of how AMD stacks up against Nvidia/Intel (which I am much more familiar with) but going by the recommended system requirements (which targets 1080p 30 FPS, I think) there's no reason why the game wouldn't work on your system. Using FAR will grant you more FPS if you lower the global illumination level a step or two (massive performance hog), and disabling AA is critical as well as that gets set on 8x MSAA when using the High preset (another massive performance hog).

Regarding 21:9 support, yes, partially. The game renders in 21:9 (if you're using FAR) but the interface, menus, and movies are scaled from 16:9. I don't think there's any fix to the interface (I believe the FAR creator investigated it for a while but ran into issues implementing a fix for it), but you can at least get the cutscenes to run in pillarboxed 16:9 using Vidsquish (reencodes the movies).

The game is capped to 60 FPS and I don't recommend removing the cap (possible using FAR) as that is prone to introduce physics, scripting, etc sync issues. It supports G-Sync fine, so I imagine it supports Freesync just as well when running at 60 FPS.

Thanks for the answer!

The game is playable and there are workarounds to make it better, not unusual for the pc player. But I think the game is still a bit expensive for the flaws it has, so I will wait for a more favorable sale.

Other platinum games were fixed on pc, I guess Square is the one to blame.
