Square Enix finally quit stalling and confirmed the PC port is happening. They tried to ignore us for long enough but our demand was too loud to bury. Keep a close watch to ensure they actually deliver a quality product instead of another lazy conversion.

Okay, let me explain why FFXIII should be released on the PC.


Graphics: Admit it. The PS3 and Xbox 360 are quite dated already. I personally believe that the only reason why we get higher system requirements each year (despite the fact that console hardware doesn't magically change) is that developers aren't putting as much effort on optimization. Considering that the Crystal Tools is a PC based engine, optimization shouldn't be too much of a problem. Another thing that should be noted is that in addition to optimization, i'm pretty sure that a modern mid-range system can handle a few more bits of eye candy.


Gameplay: The PC gaming elitist may argue that "it's too consolized". I can imagine that keyboard controls might inevitably suck, but that's where gamepad support comes in play, and gamepads are actually quite accessible. So as long as we have proper gamepad support and the visuals are optimized, controls shouldn't be an issue. Another thing that should be noted is the possibility of mods. They can range from simple gameplay tweaks to new areas, or even a total conversion!


Piracy: Hey, the 360 version got leaked. FFXIII will still sell like hotcakes regardless of the platform. As long as Square-Enix aren't nazis about digital rights management, people will want to buy the game.


Other details: The only reason i can see as to why Final Fantasy isn't being made for the PC is because of the rushed ports of FFVII and VIII. If Square took the time and patience to port the games themselves, I can imagine that Final Fantasy would have been much more successful as a PC game. Besides, The Last Remnant shows that Square-Enix are capable of making a game for the PC.

The momentum we have built makes it impossible for Square Enix to keep ignoring the demand for a PC release. They are sitting on a goldmine while choosing to let legacy hardware hold their game hostage.

I love the Final Fantasy series and XIII is definitely one I would be willing to pay a good price for. There are games for PC where it is recommended to use a controller because the keyboard controls suck. I believe though it is costly, this is very much doable and you'd benefit by adding fans who might be new to the franchise.

Would love to see this game ported for PC. I have had far to many issues with consoles and prefer to just use my PC.
