Support NeoGAF

[Nirolak]

Those system reqs are ridiculously low or is it just me?

This port was in part created to power their cloud streaming service for mobile, so they had a lot of incentive to optimize it as much as possible so they could run multiple instances on one cloud server.

 

[Durante]

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.

Good job getting this in on the first page

From the looks of those screenshots... they didn't really touch anything up...'

Those are console screenshots. They don't really need to touch anything up, the game assets are already gorgeous. Just wait until they are rendered at 6k with AF.

 

[Lulubop]

Fuck, don't lock this at 30fps

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Update: whoops.

Sorry guys ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

 

[016]

The first game always looked best, hopefully this port will make it seem even prettier.. I guess.. also unlimited frames will be welcome
In truth not really interested. I moved on from the series..

 

[Goon Boon]

Good for future square-enix support, but how much of it is pre-rendered stuff? Its been years since I've played it.

 

[On Demand]

What? They were insinuating that FFXIII was so bad of a product that re-releasing it would be shameful and dishonour Japanese culture, thereby alienating Japanese fans (or something). That makes NO sense.

[Irobot82]

what the fuck??

It's a long standing GAF joke that relates to a post back in the day when FF13 was announced on 360

 

[Aeana]

Want to pre-order, but afraid of a terrible port.



Looks like they just chose press shots from the PSi version.

Wise, considering the battles in FF4 PC seem to be 15 FPS, and I don't think Durante is gonna save us this time.

 

[Spotty Ren]

It's surprising to see it so cheap, it's even cheaper than FFIV and a lot of their iOS games.

Good for the people that wanted it.

 

[ashecitism]

What...? This makes literally no sense. I don't think re-releasing FFXIII would be seen as "shameful" - not everyone feels as betrayed/bitter/angry about it as you.

Also, FYI, some people liked it.

hahahahaha, there's always someone who falls for it

 

[Skilletor]

Your innocence is so adorable.

It's just a meme, the post wasn't serious.

 

[KefkaPalazzo]

Day 1. Its in my top 3 JRPGS of the seventh gen.

A bit cheaper than I expected it to be too!

 

[mcz117chief]

Guys, help me out. I have XIII-2 and 3 and I wonder, should I finish my console collection or get it all on PC ?

 

[Stone Ocean]

What? They were insinuating that FFXIII was so bad of a product that re-releasing it would be shameful and dishonour Japanese culture, thereby alienating Japanese fans (or something). That makes NO sense.

That post is a running joke.

 

[Liquid-San]

Guys, if you want more FF titles on Steam... buy it. I already did my job. This is the real test, the real moment.

I've bought all of them upon Steam release. Don't even play them. Will get FFIV though in all of its legoman glory.

 

[Htown]

So that makes 6 Final Fantasy games on Steam. What do you guys think of the chances that they'll fill in the rest of the series?

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

"She's here forever"

Wow, that's 1/4 of the price I expected. Why so reasonable SE?

And they are using PS3 screenshots on Steam which PERFECTLY illustrate why we need this on PC:

In addition to the generally terrible IQ I somehow managed to forget (or purge from memory) that the game didn't have AF at all.

Can you imagine I played this on a 360?

I'm selling my copy tomorrow.

I think it being on 360 was a bigger deal and people got over it.

 

[benjammin]

Ugh. Stop putting unnecessary work into 13, put more resources into getting 15 out before 2016, and let us pretend that 13 never happened

 

[Easy_D]

In real 1080p goodness? Fuck yeah.

Seriously though, with a price that low I might as well try it out. It's not like I have any expectations so I wont be disappointed.

 

[Yoshichan]

I am fucking dying from hype

Bloodborne and this

And Versus

FUYCKJPOISAJHFSAPFPSAJHF

 

[Toki767]

30GB download too. I guess they're using the PS3 movies instead of the Xbox 360 ones.

 

[ConceptX]

For that price? I've pre-ordered.

I'm actually not the biggest fan of the 13 Saga, but it's music, it's visuals, and on PC, for that price, makes it a no brainer to me.

 

[rrvv]

Those system reqs are ridiculously low or is it just me?

for PS3 port. I think is normal. albeit low end

shame they cannot do anything with the file size. consider nature of the game

 

[vareon]

YES! As a PC+Wii+DS owner last gen I can't be more satisfied. Now let's see what the fuss about this "Lightning" girl is all about.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Hope this does well, maybe we could get XII in HD on PC/consoles.

 

[demosthenes]

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=11960243

Notice the date.

 

[On Demand]

LMFAO!

 

[Pachimari]

Can we assume that we are getting Type-0, FFXV, and KH3 as well?

Square still has FFVI and FF Tactics iOS ports and XIII-2/Lightning Returns from the leak.

Wait what! There's a leak mentioning Tactics is on the way to Steam as will?

I should participate more in the Steam threads again and I will soon enough.

 

[GhostTrick]

That presumably started a while ago when they were releasing things like FF7 and FF8 and they seemed to be selling well.

These were tests for the test my good sir
FF7 and 8 didn't needed any porting job, FFXIII trilogy did

 

[Isaccard]

Wise, considering the battles in FF4 PC seem to be 15 FPS, and I don't think Durante is gonna save us this time.

lolwat? is it really?

 

[Jigolo]

Well it's coming to mobile to so this shouldn't be surprising at all

 

[CrimsonCrescendo]

Those are console screenshots. They don't really need to touch anything up, the game assets are already gorgeous. Just wait until they are rendered at 6k with AF.

No denying that.

Wait...what?

 

[Easy_D]

30GB download too. I guess they're using the PS3 movies instead of the Xbox 360 ones.

No japanese audio though, was this true of the console releases as well?

 

[TheF1BOB]

HYPE

[Aeana]

Wait...what?

That's what people in the thread said. I haven't tried it, myself, yet.

 

[FeenixRising]

What? They were insinuating that FFXIII was so bad of a product that re-releasing it would be shameful and dishonour Japanese culture, thereby alienating Japanese fans (or something). That makes NO sense.

Dude.. It's an ancient gaf meme from when this game went multiplatform. I would appreciate it if someone pulled up the link.

 

[Ibuki]

Pre-ordered and ready to go. I can't wait to see the rest pop up!

 

[Damerman]

Now that she is on PC, Lightning is immortal.

 

[Stone Ocean]

So that makes 6 Final Fantasy games on Steam. What do you guys think of the chances that they'll fill in the rest of the series?

I would kill for X and X-2 HD ports after this.

 

[Durante]

By the way:

Will be fun to play with Japanese audio.

No japanese audio though, was this true of the console releases as well?

Huh?
Consoles were single audio though.

Edit:
Wait, it directly contradicts the text.

 

[Conezays]

Nice! Glad it's reasonably priced.

The question is whether FFXV is going to have a day 1 or delayed PC release

 

[Erasus]

I played through this on PS3 and I really liked it. Takes a while to get going, but once you get the paradigm and level system its a fun RPG imo.

Looked great on PS3, interested in seeing what options there are on this.

The Last Remnant looks and runs great, but is UE3. Wonder how Crystal Engine performs on PC!

 

[burgerdog]

That's.... Really good pricing. This was on my backlog, now I can play through it on 1080p? I'm down.

Will double dip to show FF pc support.

 

[Asd202]

XIII games are bad though but you also like DMC 2 so whatever floats your boat .

 

[BillGaitas]

11,69€ wow, that's a great price.

 

[thekiddfran]

It can't be any worse than FFX.

FF13 is the worst final fantasy game created for consoles.
