Final Fantasy XV releasing on PC news

ARTICLE

Final Fantasy XV director Hajime Tabata has shared new details on the long-in-development role-playing game around its DLC, a potential PC version, frame rate, and even more.As for the PC version, which won't be available alongside the console editions in September but could come later, Tabata said he hopes the computer edition can "push the game to a new technical level," according to DualShockers' report. It's his hope that the PC version of Final Fantasy would be able to achieve elements not possible on console due to the limitations of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

All of this is to say, the PC version of Final Fantasy XV, if it does happen, is not going to be a port of the console edition.Tabata said Square Enix is taking its time to ensure it's done the proper research and is making the right decisions about the technical abilities of a PC edition.

Anyone interested in PC version of FF XV? Better late , optimised ( not a port ) than never, ya? :)

MS family, the gift that keeps on giving.

Cool, enjoying FF13 in 4K right now.

Funny it don't require much hardware.

Its going to be a port. If the game exist on consoles first and its later made available on the PC they are porting the game. I know its common to consider ports to be bad but there are good ports. Being a good port doesn't make it less of a port just a good port.

@Pedro: I couldn't care less if it's a port, so long as it's not broken. I really really just want to be able to play this!!

Obviously it'll come to pc. Just don't f-up the port.

This is too big a game to wait for a 'potential' PC version that might never happen. I'll be playing it day one on PS4.

Wasn't all their tech demo shit done on PC already?

Meh either way. It's Final Fantasy. Hasn't been all that great of a series for a long time. I have a feeling FFXV will disappoint.

Actually looking forward seeing the PC version. Just marvelous.

Square doesn't exactly have the best track record for PC Final Fantasies. That said, it'd be hard to do worse than the performance shown in the console demos.

I was thinking the same thing. Only time will tell.

You have a feeling and I am almost 100% that it will.

Japanese dev doing good JRPG PC ports? LMAO

@indzman: Please fix that article link. Thank you.

You mean actually run it at 1080p? =p

Smart, that'll help them hit their ambitious targets, or get closer at the very least.

Since the game is on xbone anyway, I dun see why they should keep it console exculive

Fixed :)

So the PC version will have the best graphics, because it isn't held back by console hardware limitations...?

How is this news?

It seems every Final Fantasy game gets hyped to high hell and ends up being pish. The MMO and the games on tablet (Tactics) are probably infinitely better.

Ummm FF VII.VII,VIII,IX,X,XII,Crisis Core are certainly not pish :P

I read the article,the directer actually said they won't work on PC version before the console release,so the PC version will come alot late.

I wouldn't mind playing new FF game with dated graphics but no more than a year after original release on consoles.

Its Gery :P

Long time no see on GS, Mr Mod. How you've been? :)

People seriously excited with this game? The demo looked meh to me.

It's fine, playing Mad Max ATM, how about you? except for hyping for FF games :P

My friends actually bought PS4 and pre ordered FF XV along with the new Kingdom Hearts, they're big fans of JRPG so... ideal

HaHa good to hear from you Gery.

Playing FF 7 remake on PC , while waiting for Dark Souls 3 to release on 12th. Enjoy Mad Max to the fullest Gery. What else you getting next ? :)

Makes sense that they would want to launch the franchise proper on PC, but It'd have to be rather broken for me to not buy it regardless ;)

i would certainly like to see it on the PC.

its the first FF game in a long long time to make me sit up and take notice.

That's wrong. They're making the game on PC, they already have a working PC version that was shown in the tech demos and they even played the Platinum Demo with game-pad that only works on PC's, thus even that demo is already working on PC. Many engines allow for parallel cross-platform development now-a-days, and it seems that the Luminous Engine is no different.

still the dev version on PC can be quite different from an actual release version
