Square Enix wants to bring Final Fantasy games to PC

<< LINK REMOVED >> But it already had a PC version, so it was a simple and easy release. Better to release it than not, since someone other than you might want it.

<< LINK REMOVED >> I know right, its bloody annoying if anyone wants to play these games play it on the console >_>

The only reason they want to bring this over is so they can make more money, but seriously.. that's not going to happen and it'll leave a bad taste in the mouths of people who have never played a final fantasy game before (due to not owning a console) as 13 was a HORRIBLE game in comparison to the other final fantasy's (in my opinion) and the series would get even more hate than it is already getting then they'll think, oh no, these people in Europe and america "don't like the series anymore" (don't give us enough money -_-) so we'll only give them a digital copy in the future on the PSN or PC like what happened with Drakengard 3 in which most of the hate comes from Europe and Australia not getting a physical copy of the game and it will ruin the market for the game. This is a really bad move by square in my opinion, as if they go through with this and it goes reasonably well they'll release all their new final fantasy games on the computer go all out with graphics and such and their games will be badly optimized for consoles making the console versions inferior killing off such a good franchise

That's why it's for people who, surprise! Actually know how to use a computer. AKA not you.

FYI PC's can plug into tv's and you can use a wireless mouse and keyboard while sitting on your couch...

<< LINK REMOVED >> You should probably change your username from 2007 to 1997, as your understanding of computers sounds like it comes from around that era.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> Yes, he's definitely mentally challenged lol. Clearly he hasn't seriously gamed on a PC since Windows 98-XP if "viruses, and computer crashing" are the concerns lol. PC gaming has come a long way since then. Also, if your PC was constantly "crashing" and "catching viruses" then I really question the User much more than the computer itself.

Personally I love older games for their turn based systems, especially FF5 which throws in the job system too, every fight is like a puzzle, everything is an exercise for your ingenuity and creativity.

I haven't played past 12.. hell I didn't even beat 12 but hey that's FF for me, I love some of them and others I'm indifferent.

If you asked me I'd tell you my favorites are 4,5,8, 9, and 10-2 (due to game play don't freak out people)

6, 7, and 10 are most people's favorites but 6 doesn't hook me, 7 loses me after Midgar (It's too calm for me after the action packed start) and 10 once again fails to hook me.

Whereas 4 starts action packed and keep a decent pace, 5 continually gains momentum despite a slower start, 8 is a bit more random, 9 keeps a steady pace, and 10-2 is really enjoyable with the choices and various engaging side quests. Most of that game is well constructed side quests that are very enjoyable.

That's my opinion anyways.

Inb4 someone tells me my opinion is garbage because I like several FF's most people hate.

<< LINK REMOVED >> try this:

FF 7 crisis core

FF 7

FF IX

FF X

FF XII

very ADDICTING games, FF IX my first time i meet FF series

i m not a gamer but i really like FF Series

@leonskellon All I can say on the matter is that the games are just so ADDICTING. Once you start playing one of them you can't seem to stop once the storyline in the game starts, and you want to keep playing until the end. I got hooked on the series back when Final Fantasy 7 came out, and haven't kicked the habit with this series yet as new games come out. *lol* Every new Final Fantasy game that comes out is almost as good as the last one if not better.

<< LINK REMOVED >> LR is a darn good game? I'll take what you're having. I don't want to be part of this world, either.

Don't hate me, God just told me to say that (isn't that the majority of storyline garbage LR gives us?) and I don't know how I know that either!!!!

<< LINK REMOVED >> nope i liked FFXIII storline too and yes that FFXIII would look stunning on PC if they took some time to put DX11 and fresh paint on it mabe nvidia Physx make the game high end somthing like a recommended specs like a quad core cpu 6 GB of ram 660ti 2gb video memory you know kinda like what BF4 wants but optimize it so people with mid range cards can turn of the Physx and AA and run it i have high hopes that if they did do FFXIII thats how they would do it but to be honest they might put some polish on it and release it if they did that

@viewjet It is odd that there's an almost reluctance with Japanese developers. FROM have made the jump, and some others. Each one of these has been tremendously successful. Just look at Dark Souls - even given the pretty poor quality of the port it was well received.

Surely they realise most of the sales are abroad? Well, because there are rather more people in Europe and the US than in Japan alone. PC ma practically be a non existent platform in Japan, but that isn't the case with the rest of the world.

I blame management at the top, the type that has their head rammed up their arses.

<< LINK REMOVED >> I agree. The FF13 series has done so well (comparable to FF7 the irony is simply delicious) to warrant it to become the first FF trilogy. Even though 13-2 fell down to 2.31 million sales (which is still pretty decent in of itself that is). I personally bought the ff13 and 13-2 series. Never got the 13-2 CE version b/c I felt the NA fans were getting the short end of the stick compared to the European fan base. But for LR I did pre-order the CE. I don't know if LR is going to do better than 13 but so far it is doing better than 13-2. SO the sales should turn out to be more than 2.31 million at least.

Ultimately its just the old school nostalgic gamers hating on new games w/o giving them a proper chance. Given that the FFX story is superior to the 13 story. 10-2 was garbage imo.

That's why you got to look at everything with a fresh pair of 'goggles' so to speak. The 13 trilogy is doing pretty well. And if it can maintain its fan base I don't see any reason why it wouldn't warrant a fourth or fifth sequel. If they can pull it off but things are better left short and sweet rather than long and bitter.

Also I find the LR gameplay to be similar to 12 and superior to 10/10-2 and perhaps even 7. They should have played around with 10-2/12/13-2 game play mechanics (GPM) a bit more to perfect LR GPM.

So far I am pleased with the game 85/100 imo.

<< LINK REMOVED >> You idiot! You even played those games to say that? God damn troll!
