ASUS ROG says motion blur can sometimes cause motion sickness and recommends turning it off in all cases. On PlayStation and Xbox, the sources opened show no way to widen the view.

Frequently asked questions
Does Far Cry 4 have an FOV slider?
On PC, yes. Ubisoft added Field of View in a day-one patch, and ASUS ROG places it under Video, Advanced Settings. In 2014, copies without that patch had no slider. The sources opened show no field of view setting on consoles.
How do I turn off motion blur in Far Cry 4?
On PC, switch motion blur off in the graphics options. ASUS ROG recommends it in all cases and says blur can sometimes bring on motion sickness. The sources opened do not name the exact menu, or show the option on consoles.
Why is there no FOV option in my copy of Far Cry 4?
The option came in a day-one patch. Bit-tech reported that players who skipped registering with Ubisoft's servers missed that patch and found the FOV adjustment missing.
