Square just shot themselves in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about console gaming culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in pc gaming where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in consoles, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the console gamers, 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 steam or you can kiss your business goodbye.

Haha, are you serious about this sh*t?!

Nice, I thought you were serious for a second. Especially after this post:

Square Enix has shot themselves in the foot.

This is awesome though. Don't understand why it wasn't already on Steam, but whatever.
 
The streaming service is new too, or? Maybe thats the reason for a PC port? If you want to build up a streaming service you will not stream old games from PS3s? You will use big PC servers to stream them, or?

I'm not sure this is the Final Fantasy I'd want to replay, but I'd be interested in seeing what the modding community can do.

Maybe during a sale.
 
Square probably realized after selling truckloads of FF 7 and FF8 during steam sales they would be stupid not to capitalize on this triology.

Glad this managed to get to the first page.
 
I was one of the few that loved the hell out of the original, but I didn't think it had any replay value. I haven't played it since launch because I sold my PS3, I'd love to go through it again though. I forgot pretty much everything already.... Not really interested in the "trilogy" considering they're not even internally made.

Square said they're bringing Final Fantasy 15 to the PC too, correct? We also recently got Metal Gear Solid 5 on a somewhat related note. I don't even know why people own consoles.
 
This is big news tbh.


A post-PS1 era FF game coming to PC.

I'm having a hard time realizing, even if it's the lighting saga
 
I fucking HATE Final Fantasy XIII.

PASSIONATELY.

But I would feel compelled to buy at least XIII-2 if it came to PC (because it wasn't as bad) Just to reward S-E for doing so good for PC lately.

What the fuck am I posting...
 
What, what? Really? .. really? Really really?

Oh hooray! More and more Final Fantasy games are coming to Steam! This is so wonderful!

I've wanted Final Fantasy XIII to be on Steam for a long time. Like many people, it's not one of my favourite Final Fantasy games. It's too linear and things like that. It's got a lot of things that I don't like about it.

But I'd be happy to buy and play it again on Steam. I'm sure I'd play it much more on Steam than on the PlayStation 3. And even if it's not one of my favourite Final Fantasy games. It would still be fun to have and I would be so happy to have it.

Final Fantasy XIII is so pretty on the PlayStation 3 and I'm sure it will be even more pretty on the PC. I'm so excited!
 
Look, I'll buy them to prompt future games being on Steam. Plus, I haven't played the alleged shit pile that is Lightning Returns yet - maybe 1080p+ will entice me.

These conflicted feelings are common.
 
Man, I'd actually buy this if it'd bring KH over.

But otherwise I'm super hype that the whole series is moving over, even though I'm no fan of the XIII trilogy

I just wish the dialogue/script was better. It feels like the Lightening Saga is intended for children :/

Regardless, I liked the gameplay in 13 and 13-2, have yet to play 13-3.
 
I wonder what the modding community can do with this.

Put in a better armpit texture hopefully.

I enjoyed all three games so I'll definetely pick this up. Lighting Returns had really poor performance on the consoles so it'll benefit the most from 60 FPS, especially given you have to actively move and dodge as compared to the first two games. FXIII and XIII-2 are going to look incredible at 4K. Nothing can save Lighting Returns though :P
