Seriously is this still coming or what?

I mean it's not even supposed to be that good and going by the PC ports of XIII and XIII-2 this is probably gonna be a mess anyway but goddamn I played through both of those those games so I thought I might as well finish the fight at this point.

Not gonna play it on PS3 anymore though...

I actually want to know this as well. I sort of still want to play it, since I've played through the other two. Might as well finish the series. I heard they were going to release it on PC at one point, and I really don't want to bust out my PS3 just for it.

they are releasing final fantasy type 0 on august seems like they skipped the release of this one

They posted this on Twitter in the beginning of June:

Yeah, I've been waiting for this. It's the only one I haven't played yet. Hopefully it won't be plagued with the issues the other ports were, but I won't get my hopes up...

They had to get that TI5 synergy by releasing their big chocobo riding game alongside their chocobo courier.

Just saw this today

Assuming their translation is correct, it sounds like Square is targeting a December 2015 release for Steam. Whether they hit that date is a different question, but I'd still call this great news.

Hope we hear something about DQVii to the US on 3DS too soon, though it's starting to look pretty grim for that now.

@zojirushi: Finish the fight.

@slag: Cool stuff.

Oh right, I own this game and forgot I never played it. I really hope someone puts out an "unlimited time" mod so I can play in a way that I actually enjoy (see: exploring, levelling up, doing side quests without the fear of taking too long and having to start the entire goddamn game over again).

Release date is announced (December 10th) and steam page is up!

looks like it's going to be $19.99 if GreenManGaming's page is legit (given the recent kerfuffle they've had with reddit, it may not be)

Sounds like the Aerith/Aeris schema will not be in the game, which is a bummer, But hey I'm just glad to have th opportunity to play it on my platform of choice.

Glad to see this is finally going to you guys. This reminds me to go and finish my 100% playthrough when I'm home for the holidays.

This isn't really ever an issue. On my playthrough I've done everything except for killing 1 boss and doing 1 other sidequest and have 5 days remaining until the point-of-no-return. And getting to all days unlocked is really easy: both focusing only on story and doing side quests second, and focusing only on sidequests before doing story, can easily result in all days being unlocked. In fact, I've seen others say the quickest way to 100% the game is to actively fail to unlock all the days in their first playthrough, since the stats you carry over through that play through make everything from there so much easier/faster. So even failing is a form of progress.

So yeah this is coming out like in a day or two, at long last. Can't believe it's been a whole damn year. This shit was supposed to be out December LAST YEAR.

Glad it's finally here though. Was my GOTY and really excited to play through it again.

Obviously performance will vary, but the game looks and runs great. Most people seem to be pleased by the port so that's a good sign. Only ran around and fought a battle or two just to mess with it. Can't wait to dive back in.

@kishinfoulux: are the borderless window issue and the missing controller prompts happening for you?

Or is that some dude in the steam forums making much ado about nothing?

Final Fantasy VI comes out on the PC in a few days too.

ugh finally, i've actually stayed relatively unspoiled after all this time

yeah big bummer is that it's a port of the iOS version though.

Square is improving, good on you Square.
For best performance, I recommend not playing in full-screen, just play in windowed.
Also, I know this sounds like a dumb area of praise, but good on Square for being reasonable with the price of these ports. Many devs would demand way more cash for a late port like this.

Edit: Okay, this is way more fun that I thought it would be, especially compared to the corridors of XIII with which I gave up after about 10 hours in. I dig the time limit and the new battle system.

@slag: I played a fair bit of FFV on Android and those kinds of sprites grew on me. I don't like them, but the rest of the picture looks much cleaner and I'll get a better translation.

@believer258: that's a good point.

Played a couple of hours so far. Performance is pretty good (i7 4770k, GTX 970, Windows 10, 8GB RAM). Some hiccups in the porting though I think. The screen that tells you about auto-saving says not to turn of your Playstation 3 console..haha. Also the only way to quit the game is to go into a File menu...what.

I noticed that too...lol.

With everything turned up the game holds up quite well visually. I was surprised. Granted it's not THAT old.

I'm hoping they'll just dump their SNES roms on there at some point.

I seriously doubt it. Someone might mod the SNES/PS1 graphics into this version, though.

As I said above, I don't have a problem with the sprites or the price, I just want to make sure it's not an unplayable port before I buy it.

Also, back on topic, it's been a while since I played FFXIII. I liked what I played of it, too, so maybe I'll just restart this whole trilogy on PC.
