So Operation Nora is over?

Anyone having issues with the launcher? It crashes as soon as I try to play from my Steam library. I can launch ffxiiimg but I can't play it fullscreen without the launcher. Using GeDoSaTo with ffxiiimg still keeps it windowed regardless of the resolution I put in and it won't boot at all if I force borderless window. I try disabling data execution prevention on the launcher but Windows just says I can't run the program without it...
I'm at a complete loss here.

Quick question for adding AF and AA through Nvidia Control Panel... Does the second radio button need to be selected for the game specific overrides to work?
Otherwise, have you tried manually editing the .xml file?
-Go to Steam\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY XIII
-Open up the setup.xml file
-Edit the window_mode property so it reads <window_mode>1</window_mode>
Should work.
Are you using Windows 8? Some users reported they have to run in Windows 7 compatibility mode. I didn't have to, but it may be worth a shot.

I would recommend just using Nvidia Inspector, it's a much more robust program once you get used to it. You also can keep your settings on a game by game basis.

I am unsure if application specific overrides will still activate with the third radio button but you can set the general behavior in advanced 3D settings as well. The third button is more of an accessibility thing.
She's actually 19 in FFXIII I believe.

Somebody get far enough in the game to post HD Fang. Please.
I would, but I'm waiting for Durante's next update. >_>
Oh boy.
It's under Sound Settings in the launcher.

So, this may be a super dumb question, but how do you enable Japanese Audio? Didn't see it in the main menu. And yeah, I keep on hitting escape accidentally too, quits the game, doesn't save my settings.

I'm with you. That song was awesome.

Thanks, I'll look into this.
What about the first option? That's what it was on before I set the overrides, but "let the 3D application decide" seems to contradict setting game-specific overrides.
Oh God, noooooooooo!
I'm downloading this for the last 24 hours. Steam started updating some game and put Final Fantasy XIII at the end of the line. So I clicked the arrow to put FFXIII back up there and now it is starting downloading everything again. EVERYTHING.
I'm so sad. This will take at least a 3 days now.
Edit: Ops, false alarm. I restarted Steam and now everything is fine.

I was a bit hyperbolic with that statement
I loved the downtempo/ambient nature of LR. It fits in the mood of the game so well. That the world is about to end.
I will say, LR has the best final battle themes of any FF game. Divine Love and Almight Booni is simply top tier.

Do you have a dinput controller plugged in (or is your ds4 being recognized as a "wireless controller")? I had to unplug my arcade stick to get my controller working =\ I hate games that do that.

I'm running an Intel E5200, 3GB RAM, and a Radeon 5670. The game runs at 60 fps. There might be dips, but I'm not seeing them.
Intro is cool, but man that opening cutscene almost gave me a seizure.
EDIT: AHH now it's dropping a little bit in battles

The first option means don't force anything and use the game's options. FF13 has no options.
You want the second radio button and then click on manage 3D settings. The Global Settings tab will affect every application that does not have specific Program Settings options.
EDIT - You will want to set a program settings for FF13.

Do you have any other controllers plugged in? This lousy port only seems to recognise the first input device, so it tries using my joystick instead of the 360 pad. It's ridiculous.

Is there some setting that locks the game at 30fps?
No matter what I do with GeDoSaTo, on or off, the game stays steady at 30 according to fraps. Drops below occasionally in battle but ooc it holds steady.

Thanks again.
Hopefully this helps. You'll want to enable GPU scaling.
Nope, no setting for FPS. Maybe you have vsync forced on somewhere?
I selected remove device in control panel for my wireless profile for the DS4. Plugged it in manually and it works now.

I'm on Windows 7. There's no setup file. I'm guessing I need to run the launcher before it creates one.
I validated my game cache, redownloaded (yes I downloaded 100GB today), changed DEP setting, but nothing :/
And she belongs to Fang!

The Morning music for Northern Luxerion is a revelation. I haven't heard anything like it and sadly, I don't think we're gonna hear similar stuff in the future considering Lightning Returns was pretty experimental.
Yusnaan (Morning) is great as well. They're both a huge departure from the music you hear in any game, but I couldn't believe how good they sounded the first time I heard the music. Again, it's depressing to think that we're not gonna hear similar stuff in the future from the way it looks right now.
Cross-post from the community thread. Mitsuto Suzuki is great. Haven't hearrd music like this anywhere.

Ok, pass in the argument '-fullscreen' when running ffxiiimg.exe
That got it into fullscreen with bypassing the launcher.

The game (ffxiiimg) stop booting now (before I made the setup file) so I need to figure that out. Thanks for the help, I'll try that after I find what went wrong now.
EDIT:
Will try

I love High Voltage.
daytime luxerion is also solid gold. Sooo soothing.
The XIII trilogy may have not been the best, but in terms of music, it's the creme of the crop.

For AMD users still having black bar issues:
Enable GPU scaling. Then change your desktop resolution to 720p, then go into the scaling options and turn it to 0%.
You can go back to 1080p (or whatever you were) and anytime your GPU hits 720p mode you'll fill the screen.

You're alive! This morning it sounded like you might be having a Lightning-induced heart attack.
Happens to the best of us.

I know you were joking since I remember her being 19, but I checked her FF wikia page anyway and found her real age...hahaha. Was that revealed in FFXIII? Because I don't remember it at all.

Well GAF, here it is.
I've been a vocal hater of this game for years. But here I am. I promised I would give it a new, fresh, and fair chance.

It's weird how nostalgic I feel for a piece of music that isn't really that old.
And one that I've heard fairly regularly for the past several years, considering how frequently I find myself drawn back to this game.
But still. Every single time I boot it up...the feelings, man.

Just came back to see Durante has pulled through for us, faster than SE has ever responded to it.
The song is gorgeous. Most of the soundtrack for the entire FFXIII series is great.
