Will definitely come for the PC but same date with console? This is real question.

What if it's exclusive to the shitty square store portal bullshit. Lollll
Taking cues from Rockstar.

Which isnt true though. PC sales arent double dippers, these are a minority when you look at AAA sales on PC released day and date.
This doesn't make a lot of sense given they haven't released a JRPG close enough to launch yet to really gauge this. It's not like their western stuff is typically delayed.

Coming off the hype from that event, it does seem like they might be missing out on some big pre-order numbers by not announcing the Steam version.
Yeah pretty much. I mean for god's sake they just put FFIX on PC... I can't imagine a world where the latest installment doesn't also arrive (at some point).

You can't really know either way, so there's not much to debate.

Did you just read what I wrote ? I said sales numbers proves it. It's common sense too. Marketing hype generates far bigger sales than late stealth releases.
I was thinking that.
I mean it is FF 15, yet they focused on 14 announcements... Which is kind of weird for Squenix considering they're usually obsessive of working with numbers for publicity effect.

No. There were 15 announcements. The surprise announcement was the Batmobile.

Thank God if true, I was beginning to regret putting my PS4 on sale.
Oh that thing counted?
Well technically it was the trailer itself. They just decided to reuse a lot of footage we already saw throughout the show.

They don't. How do you account for someone who was going to buy the console version if it was the only one available and buy the PC version later for better performance but will only stick to PC if it's available day and date?

This is true, if they wait too long, potential customers will just wait for a Steam sale and the numbers will be not as great as they could have been compared to being released Day 1 or even two-three weeks after.

This will comes to PC the question is when more than if.

Worst kept FF secret.
I'm so glad it's happening because the potential graphics for this game is so far beyond what is on consoles. I just played through the new demo and while it is very pretty, the shimmering aliasing and huge FPS drops are noticeable. The wooded area did not look too hot but the cities and architecture in modern settings look good.

They've taken the trouble of bringing almost every FF game over to steam. This one will follow too. They probably just don't want to hurt the console sales or lose potential sales to people who don't think there will be a pc version and possibly have them buy it twice.

Because people buying twice the same game at full price for that kind of reason is a niche.
Of course they do, just take the sales of any AAA release on Steam.
Double dippers, unless the game is exceptional, wont get it at a high price and will likely wait for a sale. You also forget the audience itself.

Anyone who falls for the GTAV Theory at this point is we should redefine Useful Idiot to at this point.
Double-Dips only encourage them, people!
Shoutout to Namco for having a doctrine of simultaneous PC and Console releases instead of pulling a PC version out of their hat after the UI's bought-in assuming there wouldn't be a PC version despite the exact same thing happening last time
What if its only digital? That logo in the ad is this:
This logo is ripped from another PC digital only Square Enix title - Rise of the Tomb Raider.

Bleh, that'd suck.What if its only digital? That logo is this:

Worst case scenario for me, cause I would play it on PC, but I want the Ultimate Collector's Edition, so I'd end up paying for both...
Other PC games have gotten collector's sets.
I can hope!

It's a PC game. Of course it's probably digital only.

While I'd normally agree, I'm just saying for the PC version there may be no Ultimate Collector's Edition given their hard 30,000 limit or even a Deluxe Edition since it's digital only.

Well, either it'll be an Nvidia branded title or that's why it performs like shit on consoles.

Maybe they didn't have the demo ready for PC and didn't want to cause confusion or ill will with all the frenzy right now.

Square...wtf? Why not just announce it?
Which is funny, considering that they played the demo during the event using that Logitech controller hooked up to on a PC. It had loads of screen tearing the PS4 ver doesn't have tho.
Either that, or they did it to be platform agnostic. I know for a fact that the PS3 supported a certain logictech controller (Logitech Dual Action, I believe) that I used to play Folklore one time back around 09/10. Maybe the PS4 supports dinput controllers, too?
Console games have used CPU implementations of Physx since the PS3/360 era.
