Final Fantasy XV for PC cancelled (and yes that includes RTX features)
Square Enix has confirmed that further PC production has been canceled, meaning that we won’t be getting anything new on the PC (apart from the Ardyn DLC). This means that the possible raytracing features are not going to happen either.
Multiple DLC for ‘Final Fantasy XV’ Canceled After Director Departure.
Three out of four upcoming installments to “Final Fantasy XV” DLC were canceled, Square Enix announced Wednesday during a special livestream broadcast. Basically, this also means since the PC production has been officially canceled, that the promised modding tools, Vulkan API and DLSS support will not be coming to the PC version. The Ardyn DLC was planned for a March 2019 release. Even though Square Enix did not reveal whether the promised modding tools or the Vulkan support (alongside DLSS) have been canceled, there's reason to worry here. The promised modding tools require a lot of R&D before releasing them and with Luminous focusing on a new triple-A title, we can assume that it will not dedicate enough personal to complete them and release them. After all, Tabata was the big force behind them and with him gone, there is no guarantee we’ll ever see them.
Moreover, NVIDIA may not even pressure Square Enix in order to implement Vulkan and DLSS support to the final game. After all, the official benchmark tool already supports DLSS so technically there is a version of FFXV out there that already supports it (it’s not representative of the game’s performance but that’s irrelevant to both NVIDIA and Square Enix at this point).
All in all, things are not looking great for Final Fantasy XV PC.

Is on topic. I discussed everything about the topic.
To further discuss the topic. I'm not the only one who feels the same way.
I still feel its disappointing that it's happening but they should still support features and fixes.
The guy was bashing Nvidia claiming they were behind the Square Enix issue. He was corrected. Everything is about the topic.
And here is still hoping they continue with at least the RTX and bug fixes.
Thank the guys misleading people lying. I agree though. I won't be accused for derailing when I'm correcting someone. That's a shame. I discussed the whole topic and still am.
I don't get how people can have the facts straight from SE's mouth and still say Nvidia is doing it.
Nvidia didn't have a single thing to do with SE's Internal Conflict. So really its on topic. We just have people wanting to spread lies about it.
Hey so, when I say didn't I give a warning about not being on topic, and your post starts with you being real or fake or whatever, you don't reply in the same topic. Take it to PM please. But let me also remind you here,
This is not a democracy. There is no freedom of speech here. kthx

I basically stopped playing FF games after 9. I liked 7, hated 8 and was so-so about 9. I also played a good chunk of 1 and 2, and finished 3, 4, 5 and 6 using emulator. Ah, the good ol' days. My faith in Square/Enix isn't what it used to be, especially when they keep recycling and reselling their games, often times with minimal effort. Although I'm happy about a FF7 remake I am scared to think of what they will do with it.
Like many others here, I found it annoying how some people automatically came out and accused Nvidia of causing this (just because it was heavily promoted by Nvidia for RTX doesn't mean they were responsible for its cancellation). The only thing that's suspicious is why they're halting PC development just because the director quit (RTX support is a technical feature, unlike DLCs which are gameplay or creative features). Perhaps the director was the main person who was pushing for it?
I played the demo that was enough for me to make my mind up about it gameplay it does not play like FF game and imo FFX was last that did, after that they slow been moving to hack n slash gameplay, if they do same crap with FF7 "remake" the series will be permanently dead to me, till they remeber what FF games play like. The only FF game made is last few years that ACTUAL plays like FF games is FFBE which is mobile game and has had 35+ million downloads FFXV dont even come close to that... there alot more people that want that gameplay back then people that like what it now, most those people are the people that never played the game before, alienate your long time fans it just to get new people to play and old not wanting it is not good business practice. FF games have always been turn based rgp's right up too FFXII which where I started losing interested in the games, I liked the stories but I liked the gameplay way more. then came FFXIII which pretty much automated good portion of battle system took alot fun out of game, then FFXV which as which hack n slash gameplay, I never bought FF games cause of story or graphics I bought them cause I LOVED the gameplay style.

PC sales count for very little of it actual sales, they didnt halt it cause the director left they canceled develop of other 3 dlc for the other platforms too, because they posted a 33mill lose, what ever profit they made came from the console sales not the pc. the director leaving was just reported at the same time the 33mill lose was reported.
the director had nothing to do with this neither did nvidia, SQE maybe doing well with there other games , but FF is not they been trying way to hard to turn jRPG turn based game into wRPG that play more like hack n slash,
LikeI said for DQ thank god they didnt change DQ gameplay, cause that is the only RPG left I like from them that hasnt been changed from them, Just like I like Breath of Fire series, but hate capcom and dont want them to touch the series cause they might mess it and trying and sell game using it name that plays nothing like BoF

Not surprised that this happened because alot of FF fans were very disappointed with FFXV hence the low sales because it went away from the Turnbased Style of RPG that FF was known for. It probably would have been ok if the game was a spin off game and not part of the main series. That's what I think anyway.
Atlest they didnt frack with the gameplay of Dragon quest games, yet
Very true. They did not touch the game play of Dragon Quest yet. Hopefully they won't since they have Dragon Quest Heros if they want to do hack n slash.
