"Final Fantasy XV" Windows Edition is set to hit the PC next month, and video game company Square-Enix is giving away special bonuses to those who preorder the game.
Several bonus items await the players who order the game in advance, and the items that they receive will differ based on the store where they will make their purchase.
Those players who preorder from Steam will be given the "FFXV Fashion Collection" that will include downloadable content (DLC)-inspired shirts, each of which will grant Noctis a different power-up.
According to the developers, "The Episode Gladiolus t-shirt enhances strength, the Episode Prompto t-shirt accelerates your HP recovery rate, the Episode Ignis t-shirt increases your critical hit rate and the Comrades t-shirt increases your maximum HP."
If the game was preordered from Origin, players will have the opportunity to decorate the party's vehicle, the Regalia, using several beautifully designed decals from the "FFXV Decal Selection" to accessorize the car with.
And for players who want to equip Noctis with a great weapon, ordering from Microsoft will give them the "FFXV Power Pack" that will include Dodanuki, "a sleek sword created by a bladesmith that reduces enemy defence with each slash." The pack also includes several recovery items such as 10 phoenix downs and 10 elixirs.
All those who have seen its awesomeness in the console versions know that the game is a visual spectacle with top-of-the-line graphics and special effects, so in order help PC gamers know whether their machine can handle the minimum requirements, Square-Enix has released a Benchmarking tool on its blog to help players see whether they can enjoy the game in all its beauty.
The benchmarking tool is a simple compatibility test that allows players to see how the world of "Final Fantasy XV" and its characters look on their computer. Upon opening the program, a scene will open in which Noctis and the gang go on a little road trip, while a score meter will gradually rise depending on the game's performance on the player's machine.
After the demo, the final score will determine whether the player's computer can run the game smoothly. A score of 0 to 2,999 means that the game will not run very smoothly even with graphics adjustments in the settings. 3,000 to 5,999 means that the game can run smooth but might require graphics adjustments. If the computer scores 6,000 and above, it means that the player can enjoy the game even in high graphics settings using his or her computer.
"Final Fantasy XV" Windows Edition will be released on March 6, 2018.
