The original game and subsequent adventures in the FINAL FANTASY XIII trilogy will soon be available for PC gamers to play for the very first time, with all games in the series due for release by Spring 2015.

FINAL FANTASY XIII expands on the rich traditions of the series, with producer Yoshinori Kitase, director Motomu Toriyama, character designer Tetsuya Nomura and art director Isamu Kamikokuryo combining their creativity to deliver a beautifully epic FINAL FANTASY universe. Additionally, Masashi Hamauzu presents a sweeping soundtrack while movie director Takeshi Nozue and his team of artists adorn the game with seamless cinematic sequences.

The FINAL FANTASY XIII trilogy began in March 2010 with the release of the original FINAL FANTASY XIII and continued with its sequel, FINAL FANTASY XIII-2, released in February 2012.

Have no desire to ever play this game again but fair enough price for it really, and more PC support is always appreciated.

Totally not surprised that SE is wasting resources on this.
It's not a waste. The PC port was a result of them wanting it available on their new Divein service which runs games on PCs and streams them to mobile devices. Now they've chosen to release the PC port separately, as well.

It's also silly to assume that everything is done in-house at SE when it turns out almost nothing is.

So probably XIII-2 and LR: XIII shortly after.

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.
 
Will buy to show support, but the steam page is confusing; It warns us that there's only English audio, but when you look at the languages, there's full Japanese text and audio?

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.
