3x speed?

No ps4? =

They'll probably first do FF8.

Another PS-exclusive FF coming to PC, goodbye crazy PS-exclusives theory.

Another? What were the others? FF7 has been on pc since the 90s. Didn't and still doesn't stop people treating the game as a PS1 exclusive.

 

[entremet]

I have it on Vita now so I'll pick it up on Shtein when its cheap.

I have both PSN and original disc releases, but this one will be definitive due to the battle speed option.

The battle speed is a serious buzzkill today. I don't know who people tolerated it back in the day, let alone today.

 

[The Last One]

I just noticed that the last CG of the trailer is way cleaner than the others.

 

[jimmypython]

The theme song gets me every time :'|

 

[Joqu]

I didn't expect this one. Great news

 

[Momentary]

So which main line final fantasy games are now still missing from pc? Only X, X-2 and XII?

X and X-2 are already in the STEAM registry. So the only ones to worry about are XII and XV.

I don't see XV and Remake coming to PC though. The FF game just don't sell well enough.

 

[YacVer]

Looks good, not like the FFVI port... I hope it i'll come to PS4.

 

[Falk]

OH

MY

GOD

(No I didn't know about this)

 

[BaroqueSampson]

Perfect for my new iPad.

Thank you based SE

 

[Grief.exe]

They must have rerendered the trailers for 16:9, those don't look stretched to me.

The FFVI port actually looks decent once you mod out their strange scaling solution.

 

[Deques]

X and X-2 are already in the STEAM registry. So the only one to worry about is XII and XV

Don't forget 1 and 2

 

[Terra_Ex]

Cool, wouldn't mind playing this again on PC provided the battles can be sped up sufficiently.

 

[gnexus]

Finally FF9 getting some love. This one was my favorite out of the mainline PS1 trio

 

[Mupod]

Well, if there's an RPG that needs a high speed mode...

 

[NormalFish]

They must have rerendered the trailers for 16:9, those don't look stretched to me.

Yeah, it's clean as hell.

I can't figure out if the character models got updated textures. They look cleaner than I remember ePSX looking, but perhaps I'm misremembering.

 

[MrT-Tar]

And now this


Fuck, 2015 was like a sweet gaming dream

 

[Momentary]

Don't forget 1 and 2

OH yeah. Forgot those existed.

 

[JeffZero]

I'm awash with nostalgia just thinking about replaying this game. Like, you don't even know. Currents of it. Riptides. Tidal waves. Tsunamis.

Leviathan Wakes.

 

[Falk]

They must have rerendered the trailers for 16:9, those don't look stretched to me.

If it's anything like X/X-2 HD it's a crop.

It's definitely higher resolution than the PSX version, but that was also the case with VIII's PC version when it came out.

I'd wager the higher resolution footage existed somewhere, and got touched up for this. I highly doubt it's a full re-render.

 

[roytheone]

X and X-2 are already in the STEAM registry. So the only one to worry about is XII and XV

Ah, thanks. Weren't there rumours of an XII HD? I would imagine that if that happens, it will show up on pc eventually. Also, I am 90 % sure XV will get a pc version later down the line.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

Backgrounds/textures still seem to be low resolution but the 3d and movies look to be higher resolution.


Will still buy.

 

[fluffydelusions]

I don't see XV and Remake coming to PC though. The FF game just don't sell well enough.

So why do they keep bringing them to pc if they don't sell?

 

[nikos]

Day 1 on iOS!

 

[Quote]

Hell yes, this is my favorite FF and I haven't played it since it original came out. AND it has 3x speed. I hope this means a PS4 announcement in the future but I'm going to get it for the PC for sure.

 

[Goli]

Some screenshots http://app.famitsu.com/20160101_627529/

 

[kayos90]

Battles will actually run at normal speed. Holy shit.

 

[Dunkley]

Day fucking one

 

[Forkball]

ONE LAST SURPRISE FOR THE YEAR OF DREAMS

It's crazy that you can own almost every mainline Final Fantasy game on the PC. I kind of just want to buy all of them just to have them.

 

[mieumieu]

The VFX have some display issues but it is understandable as it is still in development.
This is the best gaming related news for me this year! Definitely buying it day 0!!!!

 

[Dark_castle]

I really doubt it, but I hope Square uses the high-res background art.

I will give Square all my money if they do this. But it's impossible.

Anyway, great news. I love FFIX. Good to see it coming to newer platform.

 

[Plywood]

Year of dreams.

 

[Hasney]

They'll probably first do FF8.

Dunno, if they're skipping 8 on phones they might not.

 

[Joqu]

I'd wager the higher resolution footage existed somewhere, and got touched up for this. I highly doubt it's a full re-render.

Oh man I hope they don't release this one with better looking FMVs but cropped only :l

 

[Momentary]

So why do they keep bringing them to pc if they don't sell?

Because they are masochists.

I just watched the trailer and it actually looks pretty damn good. It like they actually kind of put some work into it.

 

[Shepard]

Another? What were the others? FF7 has been on pc since the 90s. Didn't and still doesn't stop people treating the game as a PS1 exclusive.

FFX leak on SteamDb.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

The battle speed is a serious buzzkill today. I don't know who people tolerated it back in the day, let alone today.

I was thinking the exact same thing. I didn't read any of the release yet but if it does have a speed up option for grinding then that would be a Godsend. I think more RPG's should have this even if it's just on a world map or specific areas.

 

[afternoon delight]

You've gotta be kidding me, last day of year of dreams?

 

[epmode]

I don't see XV and Remake coming to PC though. The FF game just don't sell well enough.

I've never been more certain about a PC port than these two games. They're coming.

 

[Busaiku]

The tears...

 

[Malcolm9]

Very happy with this, I can't believe I've never really played FF IX, it came out at a time when I had moved onto the PS2.

I purchased the PS1 classic on PS3 but again I never got around to playing it.

 

[AlanOC91]

Looks good, not like the FFVI port... I hope it i'll come to PS4.

It has been getting better. Bit by bit.

 

[ExigentContact]

The FF game I've been waiting for to come to Steam. Excellent.

 

[speedpop]

Finally.

I've got it on my Vita but I won't say no to a PC version. To think I completed this sucker on PAL.

 

[Grief.exe]

Ah, thanks. Weren't there rumours of an XII HD? I would imagine that if that happens, it will show up on pc eventually. Also, I am 90 % sure XV will get a pc version later down the line.

Pretty standard for Square at this point to release a game on consoles, then a few months later release the PC version.

FFVIIR is all but confirmed coming to PC considering it was announced with 'play it first on PS4.'
Sqaure will want to recoup their massive investment on the development of FFXV by releasing as many versions as possible. Square has done this enough in recent history to set a precedent at this point.

Even if they are 'bad' ports by PC standards, they still play better than the console versions.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

There is a hack to give the game faster speeds. It even has multiple settings.

 

[R_thanatos]

Battles will actually run at normal speed. Holy shit.

The most mindblowing thing about this annoncement for sure

 

[ReBirFh]

Nice, one of the only Final Fantasys that I never tried (The other one was XI)

 

[Manu]

I hope we get it on PS4. It's the only PS1 FF game I dropped because the loading times were unbearable.

 

[Devilgunman]

Third best FF game. Everyone should play it.

 

[dickroach]

3x speed will make farming grand dragon's a breeze

I've absolutely been wanting to replay this, like... now. no release date is weak.
