It sounds like they tied game logic to events within cutscenes, so mods would probably break the game in some way with respect to skipping cutscenes.

5 and 6 also look like butts because of how they did the mobile ports, that alone was likely enough reason for most to skip them.
Original ps2 version, Digital & physical ps3, digital vita, digital and physical ps4. I have a problem.

I'm down for this.
6 looks decent when you mod out the inexplicable filter and scaling Square used for the sprites. I know there are mods in the works to replace all of the existing sprites with the SNES versions.
Trust me, it would be nothing for NEO. Hell, if you go on youtube right now, the PS2 emulator can run ps2 games at full 4k easily on a single 970, and that's being brute force emulated, which has far more overhead than porting the base code to fit the architecture
Which also bodes very well for the port to PC, which should run it very smoothly considering

You can add Incognita = Invisible Inc to that list as well.

This will be the 5th time I bought X/X-2.
Give it to me now SE.

Isn't it too soon after FF IX? I'm still in the middle of disc 3.
Well, I'm guessing a summer release for this one. I hope it won't be dragging out for too long like IX.

The difference though is Tales isn't a turned based RPG and being real time the framerate would effect the feel of the combat. FFX being wholly turn based. While the frame rate IS important, it's not nearly so crucial for reactionary reasons tied to the gameplay.
incognita was official name at the time not codename, kinda similar how Umra RPG is now Wolcen
While the announcement of the name change came after the leak, it wasn't a secret as pre-orders went live in September and initially included alpha access via Steam, so many people had already been playing the game for a few months.

So in for this
These are just ports of really old games. ~3 months (assuming this releases around June/July), give or take a month or two, is enough between two releases.

Fuckin finally. I knew it, the whole thing is ready.
The port was in developpement for more than 5 months and that was nearly a year ago.
They've been sitting on it, now see them stealth release it LOL.
For the record, FFIX was stealth released with no PR or trailer. It still managed to this day over 130k of copies sold.
HEY SE ! CARE TO ANNOUNCE YOUR STEAM RELEASES OR WHAT ?

Now do 12!
I really wonder how much it will be. It should be 29.98€ in my opinion, late port (already ported two times) and usually the PC version is cheaper than console one. The game could be easily found for 30€ for PS4, even less if used, so...
But probably it will be 39.98€

$30 is the US RRP for the PS4 version so I'd expect the same here.
Nice, I'll take it on release if so. I played the hell out of it on PS2, I remember I didn't own a PS2 initially while a friend of mine did, and we spent entire months on playing the game and 100% it.
For FFX-2 I only played it once and not 100% it, because there was a dungeon with an old man almost insta-killing my entire party, so I gave up because I couldn't figure a strategy.

Because it came out late only on PS1, also came out after FFVIII which was a disappointment for many (not for me though). Also had very different esthetics compared to VII and VIII, seeming "kiddy" for a lot of the teenage/young fanbase at the time. Also came out while hype for FFX was in full force, etc.
It's still one of the most popular FF and you'll always have tons of people claiming it's the best in any FF thread, positive word of mouth for all those who haven't played it because, again, it's a 16 year old game only released on PS1 previously
FFXII HD should do great as well.

I own almost every single FF game released on Steam.
The only ones I don't own is FFXIII (Oddly I bought the series in reverse order for some reason getting Lightning Returns first and FFXIII-2 afterwards, I still need to pick up XIII to complete the trilogy)
I also don't own XIV simply because I don't play MMO's much and I currently cannot afford to play a game with a monthly fee attached.
So III, IV and After Years, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, and Type 0 HD.
The only single player releases entirely missing is I, II, Tactics, X / X-2, and XII.
If X / X-2 happens next, that means only 4 games missing out of the entire series so far. Hopefully eventually 1, 2, and Tactics get ported over from Android.
That only leaves XII left.

Well with X all but confirmed for release on PC, and XII rumored for PS4, I think we could make strong assumptions for a port.
Tactics is strange. We've been expecting it for years since the Android port is built for high-resolution and it fits the demographics perfectly.

It's not weird. They were announced before XB1 release. If it was after XB1 sales number, SE would never had announce it.
I've been wanting to play a JRPG - and I never got far in FFX.
I hope this is true - and releases before the weekend.
It's probably going to take at least a few weeks. Maybe even months, since this is SE.

Yeah that'll happen when word of mouth for XIII and its sequels is toxic on top of the garbage ass PC versions because Square Enix still barely knows how to make PC games.

Preparing for 30 FPS. :[
Understood. Thanks for letting me know how these things usually play out, as I had no idea.
I still remember that blurp in December that generated news when FFX/X2 first was indicated as coming to PC...and I'm still waiting. LoL
The thought of someone playing FFX on anything but a Sony platform makes me sick to my stomach.
Actually it's more likely that I just ate a bit too much candy just now.
Before the HD versions came out, PC (pcsx2) was the best place to play it.

They were announced for XB1 before the consoles launched. If the PS4 wasn't so dominant and the numbers were more even, we'd probably see XB1 ports of FFX/X-2 and KH 2.8.
