Final Fantasy XIII PC |OT| Lightning must not be forgotten

That would be amazing if true AND would explain the extra GBs for this version. Although I don't actually see it happening. The steam page says nothing about it, and I would imagine if dual-audio was a thing in this version Square would be proudly screaming about it to the seven ends of the world.
It will be region locked and heavily encrypted, but you still have to download the videos for both tracks.
This ^
You'd probably have to pay for it something, I don't know. They did that with LR.
It was free for some weeks on PSN IIRC (or was that for Drakengard 3? lol). We can only hope the same will happen here.

That was what it was, but only because there was no JP audio + Eng sub on the market.
The chinese versions came with chinese text

Why the hell aren't you talking about this, S-E? This launches like TOMORROW.
Concerning.
Concerning.
Oh, ok.
Still, the same does not apply to the PC release since there is no previous version of the game that had both the english and japanese audio (like the chinese one) so there is hope?
Wishful thinking, I know. :X
You see the Japanese are new at the whole PC Steam thing to a degree so they are taking notes from the expert playbook from PC geniuses like bethesda to avoid debates and shit.

Probably because they don't really care about it, it's on steam because they had to port it over to PC for Dive In, so they just go a little extra mile for Steam.
That's why I'm thinking it's probably just the most basic type of port (I just hope it plays well with a constant framerate and resolution settings).

Sprite coming out your nose doesn't feel very good, DAMMIT lol
What is Dive In?
Isn't it their new PC cloud or stream service? Something like that.
Edit: Yep. You can stream your games to mobile, tablets and shit.
Huh that theory might actually make sense then.
Indeed it does, specially considering they are treating XIII like the flagship title for this service. lol

If it means SquareEnix port their entire catalog to PC then I'm all for it.
Yeah the side effect is ultimately a good thing as long as they arent broken,

45 of those will be the new HD cut scenes!
5 will be the HD towns!
7 is dedicated to the pretty character models, like Lightning's feint smile and hair.
The rest is the corridors and gameplay!
J/K
I'm double dipping but still having fun talking about the game, like the reviews on the OT!

To be honest, I could see it just being them deciding to add the dual audio afterwards. I just don't understand why the page didn't change to specify what the extra 30gb is...
I would pay so much for a PC port of Dragon's Dogma...
Fund the entire porting process, put your money where your mouth is!
60 GB huh?
Well with my 2MB/s connection I might swell make this my new steam avatar until it's done
i have a 30mbit connection, 60gbs is nothing

You think thats bad? Look what happened to poor Final Fantasy IV on Steam XD. Stealth release overshadowed by FFXIII for Steam announcement lol.
450 mbit on wifi right now. Campus internet for life.
We're getting gigabit next year, too.

I have something similar ;x
I can wait though xD - will be a intense time waiting though when I do get FFXIII :x.

60 GB is really fucking excessive. I don't usually bitch about something like this, but why would they need a file that big?

Sorry to derail, but how legit is this Amazon posting for Type-0 PC?
http://www.amazon.it/dp/B00KX5RQKO/
EDIT: What I originally wanted to ask, was if SE has discussed anything as of late regarding the port. I seem to be hearing that it's based on the PC version they had for quite some time and other saying it's based on the console versions. I know the PC version wasn't completed or anything, so...

Deleted. Don't want to derail. Saw there was another thread elsewhere.
Like said earlier on, it's probably the Japanese audio cutscenes together with the English audio cutscenes.
I think it's like this...rather than putting 2 different game files to download (eng/jap voice) for different regions, they just put 1 version which includes both and then locks one of them from being accessed by said region.
Does CGI cutscenes lip-synced?
i believe they were
Huh...no wonder.

Are all the cutscenes pre rendered? I thought they would be real time...
There are two types of scenes. CG and real time. CG are the only ones that would take the space.

Yeah that's what I was asking. So I guess most of them are CG, since it takes 60GB.
All of the CGI cutscenes are pre-rendered and lip-synced.
SOME of the non-CGI cutscenes are pre-rendered, don't ask me why. If I had to guess, it would probably be because of frame rate, camera, lighting, special particle effects the real-time engine can't render, model posing bones, animation, etc. I don't really know.

Usually when non-cgi are pre-rendered its cause they change environments for loading reasons.
That... that would piss me off.

I'm hoping so too, I hate it when cutscenes look lower res than the actual game :/

Oh, it's 60 gigabytes? I like that.
I have plenty of space and I don't mind waiting a little while for it to download. I like it when people put more stuff in games. So I hope they have lots of neat things in there.

Does anyone know when GMG gives out pre-order codes? I want to get mine as soon as I can so I can remotely install this Clifford-ass 60 GB puppy with my 20 Mbps connection.
It's the largest base game. Throwing DLC into the mix, X-Plane 10 with all the DLC is presently 66GB and some change.
