[QUOTE="froidnite"]Then give me one proper reason publishers aren't bringing it to the PC.....just one.Forza_2
How should I know ? Maybe they are making enough money on PS2 that they don't feel like porting it to other consoles.

How naive can a person get(no pun inteded, but seriously)..publishers content with the money they make. Riiiight

Listen THEY obviously know more than you and I do and since they aren't bringing JRPG's to PC, it means there isn't market for games on PC.

[QUOTE="Vandalvideo"]Yeah, because businesses are going to be content with "enough money"..... If a company sees a worthy business venture they will explore it.Forza_2

FF12 sold very well worldwide !

Why didn't SE port it to the 360 if they can make some money on it ?

Maybe because Sony had a deal with them:roll: or may be because they felt enough number of copies won't sell on X360 to justify the porting expenses:roll:

[QUOTE="Vandalvideo"]Except that the PC does have, for the most part, the version with the better graphics thanks to higher resolution support, better sound thanks to EAX, and more content thank to mods. It is undubetably the technically superior version.Forza_2

That doesn't make it better. You know why ? Because I can just claim that I don't like whatever genre the game is and that's fine.

Or that more content doesn't make a gamer better imo. Along with mods, higher res, better graphics ect. I could just say those to me don't make it any better then the console version because I don't care for those things. But that would be stupid wouldn't it.

You're a little confused. I'm not the one claiming things, I'm the one asking. Are you really sure that there is no demand for JRPGs on PC ? And why ?

"publishers content with the money they make"

Actually, you are the one naive. Not everyone is that greedy. On gametrailers you can see an interview with Itagaki and how he said that he didn't port NG to the PS2 because he didn't want to downgrade the quality of his game.

Maybe he could make it for her exclusively. That would be special. Of course it is going to be available for other DS owners. I wonder why he would do that....$$$$$$

You are gonna call Itagaki greedy now ? The install base for the PS2 was so much higher than the Xbox and yet he chose to make games for it.

What else needs to be said ?

The money that was being sent to him by MS just under the public's nose was justification for the Xbox exclusivity.

The Japanese market is very different in this instance. Japanese Culture is much different from American culture. Sony and Square have such a close working business relationship that its practically blasphemy and a disgrace to even consider porting games to other platforms, even if it means the ruin of one company. Thats not really applicable to the PC though, because SOny could potentially make profit off of that.

The only other explanation is because there wasn't enough vested interest in the game from PC gamers to begin with. How'd they gauge this? Maybe P.O.Ss (Public opinion surveys) or special interest groups.

SALES had something to do with that. Hermits like point and click games, RTS, FPS, and WRPGs. They don't give a crap about JRPGs or Fighters.

Yup. It's not always about being greedy all the time like the other guy was saying.

Yes, it's all about money, but that doesn't mean that every single publisher is gonna turn into EA...

ff8 is a good reason. square enix said any further titles on pc depends upon sales of ff8, which was not much i guess because we didn't see any further (non-mmo) title from them

Opinions are like a-holes. Everybody has one You know, I really hate this whole "opinion" and "subjective" argument. It's like System Wars learnt overnight about subjectivity and completely ran with it. Revelation 3:16 "So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth." ------------- In any case, why is this thread still going on? Why can't everyone just let it die?

Why can't everyone just let it die?

So it's okay to use opinions as arguments now...:roll:

Yeah...and I know why you hate that "whole "opinion" and "subjective" argument" aswell:|

And your last sentence is one of the funniest thing I've read in SW cos you are also contributing to keeping the thread alive by posting in it right:roll:

[QUOTE="Vandalvideo"] The Japanese market is very different in this instance. Japanese Culture is much different from American culture. Sony and Square have such a close working business relationship that its practically blasphemy and a disgrace to even consider porting games to other platforms, even if it means the ruin of one company. Thats not really applicable to the PC though, because SOny could potentially make profit off of that.Forza_2

Then, why didn't they port it to PC ?

Please don't give me FF8 because that was a long time ago.

Not enough market. It's like with simulators or PC adventure games...there's no market for them on consoles. When there is demand companie will follow..hence why jRPGs are console-centric, but when any of those companies make MMO it's always on PC (and PC one is the main version, to be specific sometimes there'seven no console version for their MMOs)

[QUOTE="Vandalvideo"] The only other explanation is because there wasn't enough vested interest in the game from PC gamers to begin with. How'd they gauge this? Maybe P.O.Ss (Public opinion surveys) or special interest groups.Forza_2

Yup. It's not always about being greedy all the time like the other guy was saying.

Yes, it's all about money, but that doesn't mean that every single publisher is gonna turn into EA...

Nor does it mean that every JRPG publisher is not interested in making money.

Also you give me one example to prove your point...I'll give you 100 example to prove my point that all publishers care about is money.

[QUOTE="froidnite"]If there is money to be made bringing fighters/Jrpg's you can bet your a** that someone would try doing it.Forza_2

How do they know that, exactly ?

If there were many JRPGs and fighting games on PC and they all sold like crap, then yes.

Well..you're in luck then. Because there have been many jRPGd and fighting games on PC and they all did sell like crap

[QUOTE="froidnite"]Something being good is opinion....but computers able to do higher resloution is not. Dude I really hope you are doing this cos you don't wanna accept defeat:|FrozenLiquid
Opinions are like a-holes. Everybody has one You know, I really hate this whole "opinion" and "subjective" argument. It's like System Wars learnt overnight about subjectivity and completely ran with it. Revelation 3:16 "So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth." ------------- In any case, why is this thread still going on? Why can't everyone just let it die?

You know why this thread has continued for so long? Opinions. Blackbond stated from the very beginning that this was his opinion. "it does have two weak points in my view" for some reason he feels the need to force his views on us.

atleast abotu jrpgs - square enix said any further titles on pc depends upon sales of ff8, which was not much i guess because we didn't see any further (non-mmo) title from them
