[QUOTE="DRUNK_CANADIAN"][QUOTE="fs_metal"][QUOTE="DRUNK_CANADIAN"][QUOTE="fs_metal"][QUOTE="DRUNK_CANADIAN"][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 failedBut 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 timewow 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

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/Doom1993computer 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]
