[QUOTE="kinetic-core"]heh... i got nauseous with the MGS2 fixed camera. Perhaps that's why i actually like MGS3 better. 'sides, aren't we talking about FF? I was having this idea. What if, Final Fantasy was moved to portable consoles?! All of them! Including the next titles. Then, we now will have FF with more story than ever. It'll be our FF, with just a great story, and nothing else in the package. Pfs_metal

I don't understand..is it sarcasm..however i think the FF series should go to PC...so we can ALL enjoy the series...

It tried that with FFVII and FFVIII and failed

But you have to look at the time, when FFVII came out, PCs altough entering the world were still primarily business based, and CPU gaming wasnt big in the 90s, however now if they advertised enough I am sure FF games would do just as well if not better on the PC

PC gaming has existed longer than console gaming man. PC gaming was big in 97/98. 4 years before FF, Doom was unleashed, which had more than 10 million people playing it. One year before that, Quake was the big deal. Its sales also reached into the millions. In 1`998, when FFVIII was done, Valve gave us Half-Life which won more than 70 game of the year awards and sold more than 7 million copies. PC gaming was very big at the time

wow I didn't even know of this...guess PC gaming is only good with online multiplayer :P

Do you have any links to news pertainign to the era

That's not true either. The PC has alot of great offline games, such as Black and White. Besides that, the games that I just mentioned all have great single player campaigns. That being said, the PC is the king of multiplayer.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-Life

Half-Life Wikipedia article. The first paragraph:

Half-Life, often abbreviated HL or HL1, is a science fictionfirst-person shootercomputer game developed by Valve Software and published by Sierra Studios. Released on November 19, 1998 for PCs running Microsoft Windows,[1] the game was based on a heavily modified version of the Quake engine.[3] With eight million copies sold since release, Half-Life is the best selling PC first-person shooter to date.[4] The game was later released for PlayStation 2 on November 15, 2001,[2] and a Sega Dreamcast port was planned, but cancelled as the machine's popularity waned.[5]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doom


1993computer game by id Software that is among the landmark titles in the first-person shooter genre. It is widely recognized for its pioneering use of immersive 3D graphics, networked multiplayer gaming on the PC platform, and the support for players to create custom expansions (WADs). Distributed as shareware, Doom was downloaded by an estimated 10 million people within two years, popularizing the mode of gameplay and spawning a gaming subculture; as a sign of its impact on the industry, games from the mid-1990s boom of first-person shooters are often known simply as "Doom clones". Its graphic and interactive violence[2] has also made Doom the subject of much controversy reaching outside the gaming world. According to GameSpy, Doom was voted by industry insiders to be the #1 game of all time.[3]


thanks for the info (although Wiki isn't the msot reliable what you presented is most likely true) but lets notice a reoccuring theme.....my god they are all shooters and RTS games :P (before the era of mainstream MMORPG)

why must you be so hateful to me :P

First of all are you staying on the topic of FF going to PC? By that I meant that I just wish I could enjoy all the FF instead of seeing the games on systems like the DS or GC which I don't own

Secondly variablity in the stories it what makes the games so great, I especially love the mordernized themes such as in FFVII, Graphics isnt major when I play games, however now I have set a standard of minimum of FFVII graphics (3D graphics) since 2D is a bit too old skool for my tastes now, story however and an interesting cast, with lots of extras is what truly defines FF to me, also the long story and replay value

[QUOTE="Darmi"]Final Fantasy 8 for PC was my first FF game :lol:Darmi

sweet, do you know how I can get them for my PC? I want to put them on my laptop....

If you can get them for PS then you should, it is so much better. It's the same game but the controls are just awkward, plus it's a Windows 98/95 game...

i own the console versions for both :P

I want to know a way I can get it for the PC so I can play on the go....plus I havnt seen it in any PC retailers...I am from Canada....maybe things are different in the US
