Game simply doesn't work.

Square Enix has done literally nothing to fix it since release, either. just like with FF13 port.

Even after finally getting past the intro movie to actually start a new game- I had 17 crashes in the process of trying - it's still not a smooth experience. I've verified game files. I've literally reinstalled it to a different SSD, switched to dx11, nothing matters. The game simply doesn't work. And if you do get it to launch, well, it has stuttering and insane frame drops.

Even after using mods to disable dynamic resolution scaling and forcing Vsync in Nvidia control panel, it still frame drops and stutters.

I9-13900k/ RTX4090/ 128 GB DDR5 so no it's not my hardware.
