Can I Run FINAL FANTASY?
Released in 2014, FINAL FANTASY is a massively multiplayer role playing game built by Square Enix. It offers a single player campaign and cooperative play. Only some of the game is mapped to a controller. Metacritic places it at 83. Being over ten years old, its ceiling was set by the hardware of a different era. It is a Windows title, so the requirements below are the Windows ones. Its Steam review count passes 78 thousand, a large enough sample that odd hardware behaviour would be known by now.

Setting and environment
The game is set in a fantasy world. Play is structured around one continuous open world. That openness is what costs performance. FINAL FANTASY has no loading walls to hide behind, so terrain and detail keep flowing in as the player moves. 10 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion. The view is from a third person view.
Why FINAL FANTASY is demanding
The ask FINAL FANTASY makes is moderate. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 lands near our RTX 3060 reference, so a typical gaming PC is the right yardstick. The distance between minimum and recommended is wide, so FINAL FANTASY at the floor and FINAL FANTASY at the recommended tier are not the same experience. FINAL FANTASY expects 16 GB of system memory. FINAL FANTASY needs 64 bit Windows. FINAL FANTASY wants about 140 GB of disk space, which is a real consideration on a smaller drive.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run FINAL FANTASY?
Free up space before installing FINAL FANTASY: it needs roughly 140 GB of HDD storage. Once it's on disk the rest is unremarkable, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 or higher, AMD Radeon RX 480 or higher and 8 GB of RAM meet the minimum, so most current PCs handle the compute side.
Bottleneck: GPU
Large install. FINAL FANTASY needs about 140 GB of HDD of free storage.
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Runs well | 1.26x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.71x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.31x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.

| GTX 1060 6 GB | Runs well |
| GTX 1060 Laptop | Playable |
| GTX 1650 4 GB | Playable |

Each card is compared against FINAL FANTASY's published GPU requirement, assuming an otherwise-capable PC. Laptop rows use the real mobile chip's benchmark, a mobile GPU is always slower than its desktop namesake.
