Man, FinalFantasyXV is pretty. Despite being a huge JRPG fan, I skipped over the latest FinalFantasy at launch, but with an RTX 2080 system in for testing, I felt like the boy-band road-trip game was a great way to test out this high-end rig. It does not disappoint. Sure, the story’s overly melodramatic and the gameplay’s a bit of a mess, but the world looks absolutely fantastic in 4K HDR. Sprawling mountains, vast plains, the awesome waterfall city in act two. These stunning vistas render beautifully, especially after I installed the upgraded 4K texture pack. If only I could get the impeccably detailed anime boys to quit making such goofy expressions.
