[TheUsual]

Sweet!

 

[Blablurn]

Looks alright.

 

[Haunted]

DS ports, oh my.

 

[Mechanized]

Why does Final Fantasy 3 have an age gate? lmao

 

[Village]

DS ports oh hell yes!

where twewy at

 

[Rad-]

Awesome! I have this for Android but I can't stand that horrible control method.

 

[Volotaire]

EDIT Beaten

 

[Arcanine55]

I'll be hyped if I hadn't played it in over 3 different devices already.

 

[Haunted]

EDIT Beaten

Eurogamer just rephrased what's right there on the steam page.

 

[Shmuppers]

Interesting.

 

[Ourobolus]

I probably won't double/triple/whatever dip, but I am curious to see what the achievements are.

 

[Silky]

...I'm onto you, crazy mods

 

[LiK]

FFVI with steam cards/cheevos would be excellent.

 

[RazielCuts]

Whoa, what? And ha, age gate.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

One step closer for Lightning saga on PC.

Imagine the mods.

Regarding FF III, I didn't liked it much, but has one of the best intros in the series.

[reptilescorpio]

Woo! Trading cards!

Looking forward to every FF on Steam one day

 

[MrCunningham]

Why do I need to enter a birthdate for a game that is rated Everyone 10+?

Pretty cool, I suppose. Shame it's not the Final Fantasy III that I grew up with those... FF6.

 

[Ysiadmihi]

Never got to finish this on DS. Hopefully it's priced appropriately.

Hope we get a PC version of Chrono someday.

 

[cws]

2GB Ram ? lol .... well better than nothing i guess.

 

[Visualante2]

Does it have square enix logins?

 

[jj984jj]

Steam Cloud? Does that mean no SE Account required this time?

 

[Gintoki]

Will buy if the price is right. Haven't finished it on the DS.

 

[Volotaire]

Eurogamer just rephrased what's right there on the steam page.

Yes, I realised. I didn't read or click the link.

 

[Simzyy]

The Final Fantasy XV PC announcement is coming. I can feeeeeeel it.

 

[Kolma]

DS ports, oh my.

in HD

 

[Nirolak]

2GB Ram ? lol .... well better than nothing i guess.

You have to have enough RAM to run your operating system and this only works on Vista or later.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Steam cards? Sweet

But no price booo

 

[Love Deterrence]

Yes!! Keep 'em coming, Steam.

 

[Begaria]

One step closer for Lightning saga on PC.

Imagine the mods.

Regarding FF III, I didn't liked it much, but has one of the best intros in the series.

More like one step closer to FFXV on PC.

Please, Square Enix! PLEASE!

 

[mfaex]

Yay I may finally beat it.

 

[Tempy]

Sure, I'll triple dip or whatever.

 

[ArtHands]

we'll just wait for the announcement now

 

[JaseC]

Steam Cloud? Does that mean no SE Account required this time?

FFVIII supports Steam Cloud and requires a Squeenix account. It's just for activation purposes, though.

 

[maniac-kun]

Looks pretty bad.

 

[Wonko_C]

There was an iOS version of this, right? probably the PC version is a port of that. Final Fantasy IV would be next then, but I would prefer a port of the PSP's Final Fantasy IV Complete Collection with the pretty sprites instead of low-poly models.

 

[Bomber Bob]

Will be mine day -0

 

[Dragon1893]

Never played this one, might jump in now.

 

[Mandoric]

Might triple-dip since the DS endgame netplay stuff is getting shut down. Wish they'd add full-size enemy parties now that it's not held back by the DS screen size and polycount, though.

 

[Arthos]

Oh, wow. Hope this means we get more FF games on the PC soon!

Spoiler

FF9?!

I only got halfway through the game the first time I attempted playing it and just recently bought it again on the DS to try and finish it. Not sure if I would play it on Steam.

 

[Basileus777]

DS ports, oh my.

Actually, more likely a mobile port.

 

[nbthedude]

They would do FAR BETTER, just to release Final Fantasy IV packaged with Final Fantasy IV: The After Years, because nobody played that on Wii and it would be a hit on steam.

No NA press release yet - here's the UK one, although it doesn't detail much more than what's on the Steam Page. As for date, it just says "coming soon".

LONDON (9th May 2014) – Square Enix Ltd., the publisher of SQUARE ENIX® interactive entertainment products in Europe and other PAL territories, today announces FINAL FANTASY® III, one of the best-loved games from the epic RPG series, is coming soon to Steam.

First released in Japan in 1990, FINAL FANTASY III was the first title in the Final Fantasy series to become a million-seller, establishing once and for all that Square Enix's classic RPG saga was here to stay. The game first reached European shores in 2007 when it launched as a 3D remake on the Nintendo DS, also selling in excess of one million copies worldwide.

Coming soon to Steam, FINAL FANTASY III has been optimised for PC gaming with new and improved 3D visuals and story sequences, and will include Steam Trading Cards and Achievements and new visual designs for the Job Mastery Cards.

The Story of FINAL FANTASY III

Protected by the crystals of light, the once peaceful land has forever been changed by the great tremor. Without warning, the earthquake pulled the crystals into the earth, upsetting the world’s fragile balance. It seems as if all hope is lost – but as the Gulgan prophecy foretold, four souls blessed with the light shall once again restore balance to the world.

Near the small village of Ur, fate guides Luneth to a sentient crystal that changes his life forever. As the light of the crystal fades, Luneth embarks on a journey to seek three others who share his destiny to search for the remaining crystals, and fight the battle of light and darkness.

• New and improved 3D visuals and story sequences

• New feature of Steam Trading Cards

FFVIII supports Steam Cloud and requires a Squeenix account. It's just for activation purposes, though.

Oh.

It's so weird that they require the CEG and their own account activation.

 

[Haunted]

Also, in what universe is this one of the best-loved FF entries.

Actually, more likely a mobile port.

mobile ports of DS games, oh my!

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

I'm never going to forgive that last dungeon. There's no cheesing it, it's 3 hours long and has NO FUCKING SAVE POINTS AT ALL. So when you have 5-6 straight boss fights in the end, well, I hope you did a ton of grinding because it's fucking the worst.

I really hope they allow the option to save anywhere on the PC version, or that someone comes out with a mod/trainer that permits it because that shit is so fucked.

They would do FAR BETTER, just to release Final Fantasy IV packaged with Final Fantasy IV: The After Years, because nobody played that on Wii and it would be a hit on steam.

The real question is if they would release the 2d version or the 3d version, seeing as they did redo the After Years in 3d recently.

 

[MrCunningham]

Looks pretty bad.

Well it is a Nintendo DS game that was upscaled to a iOS/ Android game that is being upscaled again to a PC game.

 

[Xpliskin]

They should port the entire series to PC.

 

[GhostTrick]

Better be priced at 9.99 dollars AT MOST. Also, I'm only buying it to show I want more FF titles on PC.

 

[Love Deterrence]

They should port the entire series to PC.

The more Final Fantasy, the merrier.
