How did FFXIII Steam do? Could FFX HD be next?

SE would have ported the HD remasters of KH and FFX to Xbox if thats the case.
There is a mod that removes the frame drops?
No, that has to do with business deals and money. Not because of some honor culture.
The already announced there will be bundle once all 3 games are out.
Marketing oops? or just stating the obvious.
My solution was simply to downgrade from higher resolutions (played through FFXIII PC, I did not start XIII-2 yet). The more stress my graphics card was under the less likely I encountered the 60->30 fps framedrops.
Thank you for making me smile.
I think FFX is very possible, but not for a while. Honestly I expect FFIX to PC this year or next year. It's the one game they haven't tried to shove out on other platforms (not even mobile!) so they must be cooking something up with it.
Wasn't Tactics PS1 exclusive? Because there's an iOS version of the PSP port. Okay it's not on the same level of FFIX, X and XII but it's still a previously PS exclusive game now on a non-PS platform.

Ahahahaha wtf!?
Anyway, I could see it happen, but I don't care much as long as we finally get that FFXII IZJS HD release soon!
Im not saying its honor, but I doubt SE made a deal with SCE to secure these remasters that would outweigh the cash made by xbox ports. Even the Metal Gear collection went multi
That doesn't mean anything, Sony owns the publishing rights of Final Fantasy VII in Europe yet the game is still out on PC. I'm not saying FFX is gonna make it to PC, but there's no reason to actually prevent it from coming.
I hope it does come though, even though I play mostly on Playstation, I'd love to see the mod community create more competent high-res textures for the game. FFVII Bootloader texture pack made the game a lot more playable than it would have been otherwise.
I really do wonder how some achieved to play this game at 60fps. I have an overclocked 780 and i could not achieve a high, yet even a stable frame rate. For me the frame rate fluctuated heavily between 20 and 50fps with some rare occasions of the so highly desired 60fps. In the end i capped the framerate at 30 because the constant fluctuation drove me insane. In that moment I really envied those who can not discern the difference between 30 and 60 fps.

Wait for Lightning Returns first folks.
I see FFX/X-2 HD coming to PC as well but after the PC release of Type-0 HD
I would die if KH comes to steam

I suspect no matter how good the port is, Lightning Returns will probably do even worse than FFXIII-2. Just the same way as the console sales I suppose, it just depends whether Lightning Returns is good enough anyway for them to do more. Also depends on what Squares expectations are of the lowest selling entry on PC. Would be nice to actually play the game higher than 2 fucking FPS though.

You guys are settings your expectations too high.
Do keep in mind that KH has never been released digitally due to licensing issues so there is next to none chance of it getting a digital release on Steam.
Edit: Sorry for the DP.
I wonder what that will mean for KH3. If the series has licensing rights for digital releases how will it get a release on PS4 and Xbox One? Isn't it mandatory for games on those two platforms to get digital releases as well as physical?

My guess would be they are redoing the rights in lieu of KH3. Or they would just remove and replace the Utada songs which would suck but if it's on PC can be modded back in anyway
Which licensing issues?
And remember that Disney published many games on Steam recently, i'm sure they are interested.
Even if KH1.5/2.5 don't make it to PS4, the fact that KH3 is (obviously) headed there means a new or modified contract will have to occur with regards to digital.
And I wouldn't count on referencing anything else, Disney or otherwise, in relation to KH. That contract itself and the existence of the franchise is bizarre and unprecedented both by Disney AND Square Enix in terms of licensing. There never has been any concrete confirmation that it was a Disney issue, just as there never was any concrete confirmation that it was an Utada Hikaru licensing issue. We just don't know, from the outside looking in.

I bought FFXIII for PC a few days ago and have been "playing" through it again (so much as one "plays" FFXIII). Up until Palumpolum I pretty much had perfect performance, but in Palumpolum I've started getting hitching even in the main menu. Not sure if this is normal for the game or not, but it is annoying. If there's some mod for fixing this (or making it better if it's going to continue for the rest of the game from this point on) fill me in please guys.
I don't remember how it played of the PS3 so I'm not sure if it actually had a locked framerate on the console or not, but I don't remember it being as annoying as the hitching on the PC version (though that's probably because it's hitching from a 60fps high which is more annoying than hitching from 30 I think).
Obviously, using DSR via the Nvidia driver makes the game clean as hell (or using GeDoSaTo if that's your preference).

Which is a shame since it's a much better game.

You might want to check what SE has actually put out on the PC recently.
Well, Square's ongoing strategy has been to use time and resources to port older FF games to Steam.

You mean those FF games which already had PC versions? I'm sure those were really hard to put up on Steam...

I hope it was a giant success because it helps SE consider bringing FFXV to PC at launch. Japanese devs are starting to invest in PC pretty heavily and I want to max out FFXV on my rig. It would look incredible.

FFIV
FFXIII
FFXIII-2
FFXIII Lightning Returns
FF Tactics
The posts just keep getting worse.
For a game that has spent so many years in development and cost Square millions upon millions of dollars, you would think a PC release would be guaranteed to recoup the investment.
You havent been paying attention, have you?

Hahahaha.
I would have expected SE would have been happy to share the news if FFXIII had done notably well but who knows.
I wouldn't hold my breath for FFX either way though. For some reason SE have shown no interest in releasing it on non-Playstation platforms when the recent PS4 announcement for it would have made you think at the very least an Xbox One version would be coming too, but nope... and I doubt it'd see release on PC before it sees release on Xbox somehow. That and no PC release for Type 0 HD would suggest SE's Japanese branch aren't currently bothered about new releases being on PC.
Doesn't make much sense to me, but that's where SE are clearly at right now.

Honour and shame, right?
They are porting to PS4 so anything is possible on X86...that being said, the PS4 port has "only on playstation" emblazoned across the front so who knows...even though that probably only matters to console exclusivity, not PC.
Atleast people would be buying the game legitimately in that case....

this is square enix they don't understand the meaning of honor only money.
You can't even get KH digitally on PSN. But you can with FF that should tell you something. I heard a while ago that licensing issues are why BBS never came to PSN.

Porting these games to PC is cheap and doesn't take many resources. Plus they know that there's a good enough audience there to support such ports.
They probably don't even understand that given the state of their finances in recent years.
