How much storage do you think the game will take up?

[Pauete2000]

I hope not more than 155gb because I only have 156gb free SSD space

Well the store page says 155 GB so probably that, but optimally you'd always want to have like 10%-20% of the capacity as free space anyway. So use the time before release to beat something and delete it.

155 gigs before any updates.

I cannot delete anything else :(. My ssd is only 232gb and I have windows in it and I can't make more space...I have a 2tb HDD but I don't want the game to go slow on it. I don't know what to do. I don't know where to install it

SSD is most likely required.

SSDs are literally dirt cheap these days so just get a new one, anything below 1TB is no longer enough for, even 1TB is easy to fill up.

It is, at least according to official post on square enix website.

Windows takes up about 50GB. So get a 100GB ssd, clone your operating system into it, then use the second drive to store your games. 1TB on amazon is about $50 right now. If you can't fork up that much cash for more storage, I highly doubt you should be able to play this game.

Anyone who still uses an HDD is just asking for problems.

Thats just OS, once driver shader cache, and various stuff that is saved only on OS drive comes 100GB is not enough, just get a 1TB or 2TB NVME....

Yeah, HDDs these days are only form backups and archives.
Most stuff I use daily is on my SSDs and only the archives of my animations, models and UE5 projects source code is archived on my HDDs.
So basically, HDDs (or even better NAS) if you archive TBs of data and SSDs for everything else.

There is a serious chance the amount listed on the store page does not include HD texture / model pack, similar to Final Fantasy XV and other games. It does more than just improve mipmaps/LoD, contrary to some misunderstandings.

It could end up potentially exceeding 200 GBs in full, if they aren't factoring in improved assets into the base size.

HDD's are fine for older titles from the PS3/360 era, but when you get to PS4 and beyond, the file sizes become so large, load times can take upwards of 2 minutes in some cases on a 5400 RPM drive.

These days, you should only be using an SSD for gaming.

Yeah, recently when I replayed HL2 in coop I used HDD cause its a 2004 game and loading was perfectly fine, but I remember trying FFXV on HDD just to compare to SSD just for fun and yeah, it took 2-3 minutes to load while SSD took less than 10 seconds.

Unfortunatley I still too often see people complaining about needing SSD.
SSD are too cheap these days so people really sometimes complain for nothing.

Not only are they cheaper now, but you never need to defrag them as they trim themselves through Windows or Linux, and have a ridiculous amount of TBW that it can take years to reach a point where it should be replaced. Not to mention their size being magnitudes smaller than conventional HDD's and producing no noise since they have no mechanical parts.

Yeah, literally no reason today to not have a proper SSD.

[Farandr]

Well the game is 2 BD, so probably around 150-200 gb mark is my guess.

I guess the only issue are the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ screws you need to use to hold them down onto the MOBO are so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ small, it's easy to fumble and not fit them into the screw hole.

Worth it for the transfer speeds though.
