Trails Beyond the Horizon is packing some pretty nifty PC features, and some of those features might not be compatible with your machine, but engineering studio PH3 says it deliberately allows you to screw those settings up if you want to.
In a news post on Steam to mark the game's launch, PH3 CTO Peter Thoman says he's learned during his time working on PC ports for games that "some players don't read", and that even when including "bright red warning text", players will push settings to Ultra and then complain about performance.
As such, Thoman says it's better to let players "shoot themselves in the foot" instead of "arbitrarily capping the high-end scalability of a game"; he believes that "a good PC version can benefit from future hardware without re-buying some remaster", which is a very refreshing attitude.
Amusingly, Thoman points to one instance in Trails Beyond the Horizon in which in-game settings are hard-capped at "high"; the scene is a grain field, and without this cap, "utterly absurd amounts of individual, fully modeled stalks of grain being rendered" would become an issue at Ultra.
If, however, you do want to crank this...
