I actually enjoyed 13-2, hope people don't get burnt by 13 and play this game. For the price now with dlc, it's decent.

Once, I think... to add a prompt when you press ESC instead of just quitting the game.
Oh, and in January they plan on adding resolution options. No word on performance patches.
Sega sure upstaged them with the Valkyria Chronicles port, that's for certain.

The best of the trilogy, enjoy PC guys!

They're going to unlock it in a patch in December. This is their second patch they've done for the game. The first literally only adds a confirmation that you want to exit the game upon pressing Esc.
Smallest patches ever.
It also meant both of the FMVs in English and Japanese had to be compressed to absolute smithereens. The audio in the FMVs is stupid bad. It sounds worse than playing a 480p video on youtube. You can physically hear the compression artifacts on the audio, it's that bad.

People are definitely exaggerating over the XIII port. Its not really an upgrade, but still on par with the console version (at least the 360 one).
I mean, my PC is really (really) average, and it runs the game with no problems. Of course it has some random dips on frame-rate here and there, but the fact that they even ported it to PC and added dual audio (and in XIII-2' case DLC too) is already pretty awesome, I think.
Sure everyone is entitled to have their own opinion about it and ask for better options and performance though, which I feel they actually listened, considering they are already implementing more changes to XIII-2.

Don't have time for all the games coming out, hopefully the GMG voucher isn't account bound.

Wait... This game has 60fps
but not the best game of the trilogy.

I used the same code to buy my copy.

Dual audio my ass. I bet Asian copies will still only get Japanese audio.

Cool, guess it's universal then.
Yes, yes it is an upgrade, with all its performance issues, it still runs better than any of the two console versions. It's gonna be progressively more noticeable with sequels as XIII-2 for example had huge framerate drops in cutscenes(!).
Ah my exact sentiments. I wasnt blow away, yet at the same time, I def want more titles on PC and steam. Was an easy choice to purchase it, especially with the GMG 25% off code.

Anyone else with a 25% voucher code available they don't need? I pre-ordered FF13 but never got a voucher for FF13-2.

I think we are looking at early 2015.

The coupon O1QRPS-BH3AYL-O56S6G doesn't seem account bound, it's the exact same one myself and others received.
the official word is "spring 2015", but then again I believe the official word on 13-2 was "winter" and it came out quite fast, so maybe by spring they mean...err...march 21st, or whenever spring begins

I've checked the Steam Store page and it indeed only lists Japanese as the voice-over language.

Hmm. Did anyone ever figure out how to convert a PS3 save into a PC one for XIII? (I know it's only been a few months so I'm guessing not, but still...) Would be nice to move my partially completed XIII-2 game onto PC if the port is better than XIII was!

Just preordered through GMG and got it for $13.50 
I hope they hold true to their 60 FPS and 1080p claims. I still need to purchase FXIII, but I might wait till it hopefully gets a patch to fix the resolution options.

Bought. I never played more than an hour's worth of the original on PS3 because by that point I had built my new PC.
Now it's time to play it properly.

Sega has experience on what makes a good pc port after Binary Domain.

Yep. It was a good game sadly tied to XIII's world. Remove it from that and it would have been better for it.
I still don't get how it can take months to patch this stuff.

Oh wow 1080p/60fps, didn't see that coming. Nice to see them reacting to the community complaints.

Ah awesome so its official!
Well happy with 1080p at least. It should have had it for 50GB day 1....
Oh and FFXIII already runs at 60fps, oops.

Japanese monumental kaisha, Durante. If it's being done in-house by Squeenix Japan and not by a porting house like SEGA, it needs to go through a whole different process just to get anything done...
Either way, good news but this time I'm going for the GMG voucher. No way I'm buying this on Steam straight after FFXIII state of release.

I might bite with GMG's 25% off voucher. I enjoyed the game on PS3, it's a decent rpg, much better than the prequel. It still blows my mind that someone would design a rpg that is literally a corridor.
Not really, the stutter and frame pacing are a lot worse than the PS3 version. Sporadic 60 FPS doesn't look good at all.
Urghhhh, i've been downloading it for the last few days, might as well cancel it and play my ps3 copy instead if true.
You can lock it to 30 FPS.
Can't say i've noticed many framedrops on PS3. Anywho, just cancelled the download and i'll redownload it if/when it gets patched.
In the meantime it's a good chance for me to get the last trophy I need and i've been avoiding since 2010.
Code is disorderly, code notes are in japanese and patch team is not japanese. Maybe.

Maybe they have like 1 person working all on their Japanese Steam releases. Reminds me of their slow android updates for their games lol. "Want controller support? It's coming in a few months lol" As horrible as All The Bravest is, I really want to try it once on my phone but they haven't bother patching it even once since they release that more than 1 year ago.
