Popular Post Crayven Posted November 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 20, 2020 Okay look, I'm not super great at rhythm games I know that, but Im having so much massive input lag that it's driving me up the wall. Where I 100% hit the input just right and i keep getting hit and normally i wouldnt care about it if i wasnt aiming for the full chain. I swear I've been hitting and yet I'm getting hit for it, I tried toggling the BGM option for timing but no matter which I change it gets substantially worse, I dont know what to do...anyone else having this issue? Hell, if you add me I'll show you what I mean, via broadcast. Name is Crayven on psn. It's not just me, there's another friend of mine who tried it yesterday and the input isnt allowing us to nail the timing. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duboiszack Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I agree with you. I don’t consider myself a master of rhythm games by any means, but I have platinumed other rhythm games and something definitely feels off to me with the timing. I can pass the songs on proud, but it always seems like the game would have me miss notes even though I was sure I was following the rhythm preventing me from getting the full chain. I platinumed all the other Kingdom Hearts games, but unless I can do something to reduce lag, I don’t know if I can do this game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crayven Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share Posted November 20, 2020 Yep, there's even moments where I push a button within the window and the game will block it...as if it's not registering.. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSabre500 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 And here i thought i was the only one noticing the input lag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scemopagliaccioh Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I remember the ice cream rhytim minigame on BBS having an input lag that never got patched, so you better buckle up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellieDee Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I haven't experienced any input lag, so I can't help in that regard, but if I can offer advice from my play through of this and BBS: For slower songs (e.g. The Afternoon Streets), pay attention to the ring that closes in on the enemy. Before it fades away, it will flash, and if you hit the button in that instant, you will be rewarded with a rainbow excellent. Turn your game audio down and practice hitting notes by visual cues only. If you still find yourself with input lag, I would suggest trying to hit an enemy until you get excellent, then memorizing where the circle was when you hit that excellent, and adjust your timing accordingly. For songs with faster beats (e.g. Vector to the Heavens), pay more attention to the beat. There are segments where you have to button mash, so it's important that you watch the circle for the first enemy in the series, time it so you hit excellent, then mash your button to the beat (watching for linked enemies and action items along the way). Sometimes it feels like you hit the button at the right time, but you really didn't. There are a lot of little trick segments that change tempo or have notes come up that don't 100% sync with the music playing. I feel like DDD tracks are notorious for this. Best of luck to you! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathShadoow Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Yeah i've felt this too specially when attacking barrels, the game just eats your input. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duboiszack Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 BBS ice cream beat was actually pretty easy me especially PS4 version. When I go back to the game I will see if maybe there is something I can do to help with lag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrakeHellsing Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 When playing the demo it sure felt like it for me, I'd time my attack to hit the enemies, but it would count it as a miss, none of the team would even attack said target. I mean, the ability crystals and the dodging attacks seemed fine (and gliding), but just the basic attack is what got to me. Not sure if I'd do any better in the actual game or not though.

Vrisnem Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 (edited) I thought this was an issue at first and then came to realise the problem was me. What's most likely happening is that you're hitting the button too soon. You need to hit the button right as the centre ring begins to glow; not before. If you hit it too soon it'll be a miss. Once I realised this I was able to pull off full 'excellent' chains. Edited November 21, 2020 by Vrisnem 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I realised this I was able to pull off full 'excellent' chains. I completely agree! It’s definitely not the game it’s the player my first few songs I was missing things all over the place because I was relying on visual cues. As soon as I stopped doing that And started listening to the music and getting a feel for the cyclic rhythms the game got much easier and I was completing all songs first go round on any difficulty and getting full chains/all excellents on most of them. My big tip, especially on proud, is learn the pattern of the rhythm and then replicate for that section. Might take some time for less musically inclined people (I’m a professional musician and have been playing piano for over 20 years) but it’s definitely doable. Try watching the demos for the correct timing if you’re stuck! Good luck and may your heart be your guiding key 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallen_Chaos_ Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I'm glad I'm not the only one experiencing this issue. There's moments when I KNOW for sure I'm hitting things perfectly, but it just refuses to register. I know because on notes when I would consistently get rainbow excellents, it would randomly register as a miss on subsequent playthroughs of songs. It's odd, and if there are notes that aren't fully in sync with songs, doesn't that defeat the purpose of this game being a "rhythm game"? Shouldn't every note be in sync with the songs? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingGuy420 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 You can always try setting your controller to "communicate through wire" and play that way. It gets rid of input lag. But there's also a chance it could be video lag with your tv, in which case that probably wouldn't help. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StiffTripple_X Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I felt I was experiencing lag of some sort but I found using headphones instead of the tv audio fixed things for me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitemares----- Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Yeah me too, it was my main nicer ? I use, when I switched to the ? that came with the system, had zero problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceOfSoul Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Have y'all tinkered with the delay settings in the options? I had a noticeable delay and was able to remedy it. Now my inputs match exactly with the beat of the song, though the games song charts are a bit wonky. The song charts go from vocals to background beats and can be a bit off. Not the biggest fan as to how these charts were created but, the game is somewhat enjoyable at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duboiszack Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 What worked for me was using R1 rather than the X button. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainJeff87 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 They really should have had a calibration feature in the options instead of making you constantly tweak the settings over and over Like I've tried adjusting + and - numerous times and it's inconsistent It'll work fine on some songs but not others I'm starting to think it's my tv since I got it in 2012 What makes this more annoying is you can't progress in world tour unless you get a certain number of stars and getting those with input lag is damn near impossible so they just halt your progress and it takes away from the enjoyment of your first time through the story Imagine if they did this in the earlier games "Oh you just finished Wonderland and want to go to Agrabah? You gotta defeat 200 heartless in Deep Jungle first!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AquaNSky Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I find trusting the music, especially on higher difficulties is rather helpful (i.e. What Lies Beneath, Wave of Darkness). Also not pressing the button as soon as the circle appears as it will cause (as others have wrote) a miss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proteus-Ridley Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Thought I was going crazy, this game makes me feel crazy. I don't understand how I'm constantly fucking up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOreoMachine85 Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 I'm relieved to see others struggle bussing with this game some. I have found that I have the most issues with depth perception when the field of view is in front of the characters but when doing the bosses and it comes from the side I can easily 100% them. Guess I'll stick to theater rhythm FF games instead even though I really like this music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure Kite Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Got the plat for this... Never once noticed input lag in the slightest. Even the ice cream beat from birth by sleep that some have mentioned... Never had input lag there either. ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
