Wow, that's 1/4 of the price I expected. Why so reasonable SE?

And they are using PS3 screenshots on Steam which PERFECTLY illustrate why we need this on PC:

In addition to the generally terrible IQ I somehow managed to forget (or purge from memory) that the game didn't have AF at all.

 

[Grief.exe]

Can we assume that we are getting Type-0, FFXV, and KH3 as well?

Square still has FFVI and FF Tactics iOS ports and XIII-2/Lightning Returns from the leak.

 

[Irobot82]

So uh, FFXV confirmed now? I sure hope so, buying this now...cause....yes.

 

[Asd202]

Yep XV will come to PC.

 

[Skilletor]

Dat IQ. Will buy.

 

[rrvv]

FFXV definitely coming to PC.
KH3 too I assume.

the question is when? not surprised if it took 2 years after released

also I wonder what is the file size. IIRC FFXIII is nearly 40 right?

EDIT: 30 GB. guess they cannot compress it more than that

 

[Liquid-San]

Pretty big news. As with MGS V and GTA V, hopefully this will be the norm for this gen with console versions coming out about a year before the PC version. If so, I can wait for FFXV and Kingdom Hearts 3 since I have no desire for a PS4.

 

[Nyoro SF]

That's pretty cheap! I'm impressed.

is that pretty much asked for a computer?

i dont know how far fetched these requirements are compared to a computer from 4 years ago.

I'd be surprised if someone who played console games on a PC couldn't meet these requirements. They're pretty low.

 

[fantomena]

Added press release and price in OP.

 

[Lulubop]

Good price. I hate this game but I will be getting this and the sequels.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Square just shot themselves in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the Japanese public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase FFXIII for any system, nor will they purchase any of Square's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Square has alienated an entire market with this move.

Square, publicly apologize and cancel FFXIII for PC or you can kiss your business goodbye.

What...? This makes literally no sense. I don't think re-releasing FFXIII would be seen as "shameful" - not everyone feels as betrayed/bitter/angry about it as you.

Also, FYI, some people liked it.

Edit: can we have a meme button please

 

[Gbraga]

Can't wait

Hopefully it won't be locked at 30fps. Excited to mess with Paradigms again.

 

[CrimsonCrescendo]

From the looks of those screenshots... they didn't really touch anything up...'

At least the requirements aren't high (really, they're lower than I expected). Hopefully we can at least run it at 60 fps.

 

[Fjordson]

Sorry PC gamers =[

Though hopefully this means XV on Steam. Console gamers shouldered the horrible burden that was the Lightning trilogy, only fair that PC gamers need to suffer through it as well.

 

[Toki767]

I guess I can wait for the inevitable $5 Lightning Returns on Steam sale now.

 

[syko de4d]

11,69€ ... thats cheaper than i thought, will buy it. Want to know if its really that bad

But where are the other two XIII series games?

 

[bigkrev]

I'm getting a "Sorry, but you're not permitted to view these materials at this time." message when I try to click on it...

 

[bobawesome]

well, about that....

Well....

I've resigned myself to playing it one of these days, anyway.

 

[Big Chungus]

What...? This makes literally no sense.

Also, FYI, some people liked it.

 

[Stone Ocean]

What...? This makes literally no sense.

Also, FYI, some people liked it.

Lol, come on

 

[Pachimari]

Ahahahaha I just bought it for PS3 and started playing it. Hmph.

Gonna wait for the Steam version then.

 

[On Demand]

What...? This makes literally no sense.

Also, FYI, some people liked it.

Every time..............

 

[StuBurns]

I can take LR off my PS3 to buy list, thank the Lord, PS3 version is an ugly, poorly running piece of crap.

 

[Anteater]

yeaaah I might actually get this when I get paid

 

[Liquid-San]

It's a long meme. Albeit, an ancient one.

[FLD]

Damn, that's pretty cheap. Also releasing on my birthday. I didn't hate FFXIII so I'll probably get this in anticipation of the sequels.

I grabbed XIII-2 earlier this year but never got around to playing it. Might as well hold off now. I've been kinda wanting to replay XIII anyway.

 

[BY2K]

Those system reqs are ridiculously low or is it just me?

 

[Aeana]

Welcome to NeoGAF. Have a nice stay.

 

[PseudoViper]

October.. why you do this?!

Marking it my on calendar -- will make it a late b-day gift for myself

 

[GhostTrick]

Guys, if you want more FF titles on Steam... buy it. I already did my job. This is the real test, the real moment.

 

[elyetis]

Fuck yeah, bought.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Right price for launch. Much more inclined to buy sooner.

 

[hoggert]

Those reqs are pretty low. Might give FFXIII another shot if it's well optimized.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Every time..............

Lol, come on

What? They were insinuating that FFXIII was so bad of a product that re-releasing it would be shameful and dishonour Japanese culture, thereby alienating Japanese fans (or something). That makes NO sense.

 

[IAmRandom31]

Can't wait for the mod community to break this game apart and get it looking 10x better. Should be fun to see!

 

[ILoveBish]

That's.... Really good pricing. This was on my backlog, now I can play through it on 1080p? I'm down.

 

[JudgmentJay]

Surprisingly cheap. Pre-ordered!

 

[Nirolak]

Guys, if you want more FF titles on Steam... buy it. I already did my job. This is the real test, the real moment.

That presumably started a while ago when they were releasing things like FF7 and FF8 and they seemed to be selling well.

 

[bobbychalkers]

At that price...why not.

 

[Grief.exe]

Can't wait

Hopefully it won't be locked at 30fps. Excited to mess with Paradigms again.

Want to pre-order, but afraid of a terrible port.

From the looks of those screenshots... they didn't really touch anything up...'

At least the requirements aren't high (really, they're lower than I expected). Hopefully we can at least run it at 60 fps.

Looks like they just chose press shots from the PSi version.

 

[Rosur]

Surprised it's not a full price release...

 

[Htown]

It's always funny to find somebody who doesn't know about that meme.

its a joke lol.

 

[Hikami]

Buying it again, I actually liked it
But I don't remember any of it (lol)

 

[CrimsonCrescendo]

It's a GAF meme.

[Kintaro]

Preordered.

Looking forward to Type 0 and XV on Steam in the future as well. =)

[JaseC]

I'll probably buy this, to show my support for belated PC ports. I just have to fit it in amongst all of the other upcoming pre-orders that have DLC incentives (sorry, Squeenix, but my game count comes first).
