That doesn't necessarily mean all regions will receive Japanese audio; the list can't be used to account for region-specific differences handled via different data depots.
I mean if I had to guess, considering the recommended specs, the fact that PS4 version is also 30 fps and that they don't mention framerate in the description, I'd say the port is 30 fps.
However, if that is the case, modding could still be a possibility. Many PC ports have been modded to support 60 fps, although in some cases it breaks things.

No, only the Asian version get the Japanese audio IIRC.
The game is a whooping 60GB over here. Or maybe 40, or 50, don't really remember.
I'm in the US and I've played the entire XIII trilogy on PC with JP audio. I didn't have to do anything special other than buy the game.

I have not used cocaine
That's so awesome! Will definitely buy.
Edit: Steam says recommended 40gb for storage...jeez.
Ah, yeah, it seems Risette is correct. The first half of the post still stands, though.

USA here, I switched over to Japanese audio so I'm not sure what you're talkin about.
I was mistaken, as has already been pointed out. But I'm not wrong about the language list: when publishers upload a game, they list the languages it supports and this information is used to create a baselanguages flag for the app, which is where the list reads its data from. It can't be modified on a per-country basis.
A valid example would be just about any higher-priced Ubi release over the past few years -- there's a warning on the Eastern European store pages that language support is limited to Russian as the restriction cannot be reflected in the language list.

This better be the PS4 port so we can change the OST.
Unless the game is stuck with some sort of anti-tamper DRM, switching the music via file swaps should be possible regardless.

Fuck. Need to buy a new 3.5" HDD and do the SSD to HDD transfer tool.

Getting a proper loop for tracks shouldn't be a problem either. Depending what kind of container format is used.
Since the game is 40GB, I'm guessing a significant portion of that data is the FMV and audio streams.

Man, it's coming so soon! 40GB... I'm running out of room so fast these days.
Definitely true and I totally blanked on that, but it would help to have everything be as perfect as possible right off the bat. Makes me wonder what will be wrong with this port. I heard Lightning Returns was a good one, so maybe they've learned.

The speed booster would make getting the platinum on ps4 much more tolerable, goddamn.

why not xbox one
Considering the minimal sales of Type-0 and that Japanese releases outside of STG / Shmups don't generally do well on Xbox, I think it was a matter of this being a simple port rather than the expense of whatever parity clause Microsoft would demand for a later release of the game not to mention a physical release.
It's probably not what you want to hear, but Japanese releases on the XB1 outlook is somewhat bleak.
No.

If mobile ports of FF1 and 2 are ever considered, I hope FFT is also included in the mix.
Having the every single player FF game on Steam excluding most of the side games would be nice.

Cool, always one of my favorites. Maybe now I will finally get around to running that NSNSGNCNOWTFBBQ challenge.
I can see them holding off on FFT for a FFXII/FFT double pack. A small Ivalice collection if you will.

I hope they do a physical release like they did for FFXIII and XIII-2 double pack. It will be the 20th copy of the game I own.
Also FFX minor spoiler
Also FFX minor spoiler
Will wait for steam sale prices to pay yojimbo for zanmato lmao

Perhaps some sort of coalition of Ivalice titles...an Ivalice Alliance?
I have no doubt that FF12 will get a rerelease and eventually be out on PC probably a year after the console release. Could be the same amount of time for FF15 as well to come out on PC.
Def not happening anytime soon.
Also, in regards to encounter mode, there is already an item in the game that locked encounter rate...you don't want to do it if you want to get anywhere, its not a game that you can really have fun in without grinding

not if Durante has anything to say about it
If it was possible, the emulated version would have already been unlocked.
I'm just saying those that expect that should not be holding their breaths.
Durante can only go so far into the game code after all

but Durante is the chosen one though
he'll bring balance to the force!

Would it be OK if the game ran at double speed if you forced 60 fps?
There are rare instances of slowdown in the original PS2 version of the game, and when the framerate drops, the whole game slows down. It's likely that the game's engine speed is tied to it's framerate.
Durante is great, but he didn't unlock Dark Souls or Tales of Zestiria's framerate, those were other moddders.
I don't think this is correct. It would be a lot easier in a PC version versus an emulated version. Modders have access to many more resources in a native PC version.
Not saying it will happen, but emulation doesn't really have any bearing on things.

Hopefully one of those modifiers is to skip all Cloister of Trials

This please. Trainers all the way if not one of the modifiers.

After buying XIII day one, I'm waiting for impressions first on all Square games. Fool me once...

While the Cloister of Trials were annoying. The reward of getting Anima as a summon for doing all of them made up for it, at least for the International version at least in which Anima had the most powerful damage dealing Overdrive out of all the Aeons.
There were several FF games in between FFXIII's and FFX / X-2's release that all turned out fine.
It was honestly worth it just because Anima was cooler than a motherufcker.
Yes it does, because even the emulated version is simulating a far stronger runtime enviorment and shows the same weak spots.
if the fps is an engine issue that is tied to the original creation of the game, doesnt matter if its emulated or directly ported.
