Should You Use Graphics or Frame Rate?

Use Frame Rate for a Gameplay-Focused Playthrough

Use Frame Rate mode if you want to focus on the gameplay and combat in Final Fantasy 16. The quality drop isn't too noticeable and gameplay will feel more fluid. Enjoy the visuals of Valisthea while unleashing your Eikon abilities!

Use Framerate mode to Reduce Motion Blur

The higher frame rate makes the effect of motion blur less pronounced. Set your game to Frame Rate mode if the motion blur in Quality mode is making you dizzy or nauseous.

Use Graphics for a More Visually-Stunning Playthrough

Use Graphics mode when you want to immerse yourself in the story of Clive and his quest for revenge. In this mode, environments are fuller and sharper while cutscenes are visually-stunning. The frame rate is also more stable and consistent, but it is lower than the other mode, so combat may not feel as responsive.

2

Use graphics mode. There's not much difference visually. But graphics mode is locked at 30fps, whereas framerate mode fluctuates constantly between 47 and 60fps. Higher framerate is better generally, but stability is more important. You'll eventually get used to 30fps constant. You can't get used to constant random fluctuations. 30 will therefor give you a less headache inducing experience than 47-60 stutters.
