So, how can I run FFXIII on pc with actually decent fps? It seems to be locked at 30 and suffering some drops to 20.
I only played the tutorial though. Changing the resolution to 720p or 1080p or the antialiasing didn't help at all.
Do I need to download some fix like dark souls 1?

It's not.

You have a shit CPU.
The PC port is poorly optimized in terms of CPU and only uses 1 CPU core.
You need a good CPU with high core clock.
your pc is trying to tell you to keep this shitty game away from it
PM'd you the fix. ;)

FF13 really has top tier art direction.
The setpieces are clearly the reason why it's so linear.
But at least it opens up on Pulse.

You don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

I do though.
The game literally only uses 1 CPU core which is why it runs like shit on shit CPUs.
Lightning is the best character in the world in my opinion. She should be the lead character of every title we make from now on. She is perfect in every way. She is cool, calm, and has a great sense of humor. Sometimes I think people hate her because she saved the Final Fantasy series, those haters just want the series to die. But truly, she is the greatest thing to happen to the series since it began. If I could go back in time and change everything about FF1, I'd have it titled Lightning Forever. Then when I return to the present, Lightning will be the star of every past title now and she would be praised as a true Goddess. - Motomu Toriyama

The real reason why it's linear is because they fucked up the production of the game so badly that they literally didn't figure out how to do wide areas on their half-baked Crystal Tools engine until chapter 11. The chapters were developed in chronological order, the art teams worked in isolation and wound up producing 3x more content than could be fit onto blu-ray, hence the sequels.
Also in the 6-year development, the first 4 years were spent fucking around on an engine, until Square demanded they make a demo. They made one that best looked like the earlier trailers, and that became the gameplay loop repeated throughout.

This isn't true
At one point the game had to be designed to fit the FMV that Visual Works made
Which is why Cid comes back for some reason in chapter 12 for example
Then thr game is linear because Tori wanted a heavier emphasis on storytelling because the story wasn't too convoluted but was told in a weird way so it would have been more difficult to understand
The main issue crystal tools had was the constant platform switching
From PC, to PS3, to a new engine rebuilt on the X360, to this port on PC
The couldn't get it to work that well on PS3 so they had to downgrade the visuals somewhat and severely lower the rendering resolution on X360
Oh and don't forget this was a PS2 game originally that got the Versus treatment back when XII got stuck in dev hell and was then rushed out before the ps2 was too obsolete
Ideally XII should have been a 2004 game with XIII coming out in 2006 on ps2 as well
Which on one hand would have gotten XII much better sales and XIII much worse but it wouldhave avoided dev hell for both
With Versus XIII possibly taking XIII's place as the ps3 FF, possibly coming out much before 2010 and then we're officially in a no-way to know zone because XIV bombed but it might have not if it didn't use crystal tools itself
