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.

I don't even get why someone would play this emo, sjw, crap jap fashion excuse for a game. But oh well, you will get one less lame gimmick, you still have plenty of LGBT features in the game to vomit to.

I'm not far through the game, what's SJW about it? Serious question.

I don't know, I look at the game and benchmarks and all I see is soyboy simulator with no gameplay whatsoever. To each his own I guess.

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
So it's just a general cost-cutting measure then? I suppose there's no need to spend more money on DLCs and RTX features as they will only add to the cost. Seems rather defeatist to me but I guess they have good reasons.
I really wish Final Fantasy would return to its old-time roots. I never liked the J-pop character designs and the modern elements in the game (a car in a FF game?). I just hope the FF 7 remake lives up to expectations.

Should **have***. "should of" is not a term used in English.
Also Spirits within was ok but whether you like it or not doesn't change the fact it was Final Fantasy.
Just like new Star Trek - fans are like yay we love it. Then come those "other" fans who say "it isn't Star Trek" - yeah well sorry, but you don't get to choose whether it is or not. It is. It carries the name. It has the spirit of the series. It remains Final Fantasy (or Star Trek in my example) whether a few snobby critics like it or not.
But hey, maybe someone who likes mobile games more than PC games knows more than me.
New ST is ST, but only as it is in that universe and crew is SF as they have kind of uniforms and everyone in crew claim to be part of it. But quality of series is something else.
Main characters are "breaking character" within same episode they established it, or in next. Picard's / Janeway's crew was put into hard situations and they voiced their thoughts about morality of choices. STD faces such situation, character almost always does worst thing possible and there is not even glimpse if thinking about SF's directives/morale values.
And as for story writing on macro level, they did not plan it even remotely, that's why last episode is such a rush on the goal. And again bending of characters as writers did want those same characters who established themselves as trash to look good.
Best characters in entire season 1 were the bad guys. Because there you could follow them and they were consistent to their character:
- Capt. / Empress Georgiou (Captain managed to die before script would beak her character. And Empress is scheming, self serving, narcissistic and manipulative.)
- Capt. Lorca ("Cause justifies the means.")
2nd best was almost voiceless crew. In both universes they lived and died by rules they believed in. So I liked more crew members who were consistently at their posts as that was their job, and did not talk much at all.
So STD deserves all the heat it got in any part if 1st season. As it started with poor character writing. Continued to break characters. And finished by bending and twisting several times broken remains. Lucky "villains" and voiceless crew.
