Turn me into Chocobo if old.

 

[Jazz573]

I dunno. Sounds kinda April Foolsy. Especially after what they just said about a PC version.

 

[komorebi]

Well its technically current tech so I'm sure they are.

 

[BennyBlanco]

A good PC version could be glorious. I don't even mind waiting a year or so.

Look how GTAV turned out on PC.

 

[Lister]

Nice! DX12/Vulkan version could mean great performance for PC.

 

[Deleted member 144138]

So a PC version is officially confirmed?

 

[Sydle]

Hmmm, I may not be able to wait. Hopefully it's good enough to double dip.

 

[Sub_Level]

Dark Souls 2 already set this kind of precedent with different DX versions of the same game. Wouldn't be that strange.

 

[Mivey]

Of course, they need DX12 to bring it to the Windows Store, only on Windows 10. No other way to maximize PC sales.

 

[Sanpunkan]

I think a PC port is an inevitability at this point. I wouldn't be surprised if they also have plans for an "enhanced edition" for PS4K, Xbox 1.5, or whatever you want to call them.

It's not officially confirmed but they are openly discussing that they'll be looking into it once the console versions are out.

It's basically inevitable, but they won't begin talking about a potential timeline until the September console launch.

SE has already done it with FFXIV

Confirmed that they're thinking about it!

 

[KainXVIII]

Cool.
But what about FFIX? :-/ And FFX/X-2 HD.

I dunno. Sounds kinda April Foolsy. Especially after what they just said about a PC version.

I don't really see how this contradicts that. They didn't say that there wouldn't be a PC version, just that they aren't currently working on it and want to finish the console release first. This just says that if they get around to it, they might make a higher spec version.

If they need 10 million sales they're definitely going to be taking advantage of porting/remastering the game.

 

[Shin-Ra]

What's "DX11 generation tech" in the context of a console-focused game that has no reason to be limited by that API?

 

[Spirited]

Look how GTAV turned out on PC.

I would have taken GTAV 2 years earlier a lot more than a good port...A good port shouldn't take two years to make either.

 

[DieH@rd]

PS4 does not have "DX11 generation tech". It uses low level API.

If this ends up being Win10 store only SE can fuck off

I understand why a Microsoft game would be exclusive, but anything else ain't gonna be supported by me.

 

[Sub_Level]

IX out before March 31st, 2017. 100% guaranteed.

X I don't know.

 

[Bsigg12]

After playing the new demo, I definitely would prefer to play this on a PC for performance. Hopefully it's a good port.

No way it'll happen, Square likes Steam. So much so that in some games you had to always be connected to it.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Imagine if it was W10 Store only

 

[deadman69]

Dont they already have the engine working with dx12? I remember they did a demo last year or something.

 

[Parsnip]

Witch am cry.
