Does it need to be on PC? No. Do I care? No. Some people are interested into that crap though, so why not.

It would sell pathetically bad. This is not the type of game your common PC user would *buy. I believe it would be a waste of money for Square.

I don't mind. I heard that it's a good game, or at least a decent visual experience. I won't start up a petition or something if it never comes to PC, but I'd certainly give it a try if it does.

I love JRPG on the console when I used to have one (a proud PC gamer now) but I wouldnt really care if FF13 is on PC because the PC market has been and always will be very lacking due to the tiny amount of JRPG games available.

It'll probably come to PC if console versions sells millions of copies, because it would be very inexpensive for Square-Enix to finish the PC version used as base for the x360/PS3 development. But after all I've seen on the previews and gameplay videos I really don't care anymore. This game will be far worse and dumbed down than Final Fantasy X. And I say that being a Final Fantasy fan, at least until Final Fantasy VI, the best one in the series.:P

It would be nice and would probably sell in Asia at least, it is an opportunity to try widen the userbase for the FF MMO games, but most interested in it wouldve bought their copy on consoles anywhoo. We've seen WRPGs now flocking to consoles, it wouldnt hurt if we see jrpgs head to the PC (especially strategic ones)

I can name a few things:

-DX11 Tessellation
-Anti-Aliasing
-nVidia 3d vision
-PhysX by nVidia
-ATi Eyefinity
-More than 30 frames per second

FF has kinda sucked post-IX (X was alright-ish.) You aren't missing out on much imo.

Nah.. I enjoy both JRPGs and WRPGs..but the Final Fantasy franchise has been really disappointing with the past few installments. I have enjoyed some recent stuff from other franchises like Lost Odyssey & Persona 3/4 though.

No. Considering Square made this the most linear FF yet, and are more interesting in making CGI movies than an actual game now, they can keep that garbage.

I'm not above Japanese games. I love them actually, even the GOOD RPG's. But all the stuff I've read about FF 13 just makes me really mad. According to all accounts, this is the most linear FF yet, and I'm sorry, but Square doesn't make games anymore. They make interactive CGI movies. I'll take any number of good Japanese RPG's over FF now.

Capcom is the only japan developer who cares of the pc. But recently square enix started to release their games on pc too. They released Last Remnant and Order of war on pc, also they will release Front Mission Evolved on pc.Iam happy that Front Mission evloved coming to pc because shotters are my favorites games!! But i would also like to see FFXII on pc to

Its linear style is nearly Identical to Final Fantasy 10s.... your on a set path until about 2/3s of the way...... then a wide open area (with alot more to do than FF10's) comes into play... maybe you should read some actually impressions from people who have completed it, not ones that have seen JPEGS are the 1 line maps... which were the same as FF10... nobody seemed to care then.

Or how the game, despite "lineararity" still takes 50-60 hours with side quests....

dont get me wrong, its no second coming I agree, I dont particulally like many of the characters... only Lightining and the one whos name i can never rememeber (The Female that summons Bahamut). and the lack of any trademark minigames is a big annoyance. But everything else looks amazing.

To be honest, no. This franchise has always been PS3 and Square Enix has not really shown much interest in PC, besides their MMOs.

Its an MMO, right?

Games like these are just begging to be PS3-PC compatable, meaning a person on PC can play someone on PS3, and vice versa.

I really do not understand why it is that difficult. Consoles are just baby computers, after all.

Nope, FF13 is the Single Player Game coming out next week on PS3/360, FF14 is the MMO :P. FF11(the previous MMO) had cross system support, PC, PS2 and Xbox360 were able to play on the same servers... infact had to =]

I think they should revert to the old battle system first, after FFXI its been nothing but realtime systems which make the games boring. But anywho I have a PS3 and a 360 so I couldnt care less.

Weird how is that racist? I think you're being too extreme, there is also plenty of examples in the western games that are racially biased as well.

Who cares if it's like FF 10? I started hating the series with FF 7.

well thats fine, but do consider that you are not everyone. Many people still like final fantasy games.

Well no offense but I can see where this is going, the only good FFs to you was the original 6? ironically the worse... bar 6. It was a ridiculous thing to say they only make CGI movies.... what JRPGs are comparing them with?

Sadly, it might require either a suicidal, yet heroic effort to convince Square to bring the Final Fantasy franchise to the PC.

Games like Skies of Arcadia are a lot better (yeah I know that's not recent). But anyway, I'm hardly the only person who thinks Square has really gone down hill with FF. Quit being a fanboy.

In regards to CGI movies, I never said they ONLY make CGI movies. My point is, you watch far more cutscenes and dialogue than you do playing the game. That's why I say it's more like watching an interactive movie than playing a game. I don't really know anybody who doesn't agree with that.

I thought there's been Final Fantasy games for the pc. All of them have been low-key. But, they're there. I remember Windows versions starting from FF VII.

Eidos' ports of FFVII and VIII were considered garbage by the way. I could imagine that FF would have become a PC franchise if Square-Enix took the time, effort, and patience to port the games themselves, with FFXII using normal mapping and specular maps.

[QUOTE="zomglolcats"] I'm not above Japanese games. I love them actually, even the GOOD RPG's. But all the stuff I've read about FF 13 just makes me really mad. According to all accounts, this is the most linear FF yet, and I'm sorry, but Square doesn't make games anymore. They make interactive CGI movies. I'll take any number of good Japanese RPG's over FF now.zomglolcats

Its linear style is nearly Identical to Final Fantasy 10s.... your on a set path until about 2/3s of the way...... then a wide open area (with alot more to do than FF10's) comes into play... maybe you should read some actually impressions from people who have completed it, not ones that have seen JPEGS are the 1 line maps... which were the same as FF10... nobody seemed to care then.

Or how the game, despite "lineararity" still takes 50-60 hours with side quests....

dont get me wrong, its no second coming I agree, I dont particulally like many of the characters... only Lightining and the one whos name i can never rememeber (The Female that summons Bahamut). and the lack of any trademark minigames is a big annoyance. But everything else looks amazing.

I didn't like FF 10 either. In fact, I started hating the FF series with FF 7. There are plenty of better JRPG's out there imo. FF has great production values, but the gameplay is lacking.

I agree with this. FF6 and Xenogears was when Squaresoft was at their best. The only other FF I liked after this was 9. They just haven't released anything as good since then. I will probably still get it but, I will wait for a good amount of user reviews first. Every Final Fantasy gets an inflated score from gaming sites for some reason.
