So, on the Final Fantasy XIII portal page, the Steam logo appeared beside with the Playstation & Xbox logos. It wasn't confirmed or anything that FFXIII will appear on PC.

Looks like it really is coming, since I saw it on Steam earlier. Around 15$ I guess.


Any thoughts if I should buy it or not? I've been wanting to get my hands on a FF game for a while now, and looks like now's the chance. Still, I need some opinions first.

Glad to see someone else noticed.

It can already be pre-ordered in Steam.

It's a shitty game. The only good thing about is Lightning.
In any case, it's not boring, it's worth the price.

Looks like it was just added, huh?


So, how long is the game?

The main story is about 50 hours. More or less. Depends on you.

Of course it has "replay value" over 9000 since for getting 100% you will need to spend a lot of time on it.

I didn't play any of the sequels because they destroyed the original plot just since they wanted to make more money of out it.

its very pretty to look at and the combat is pretty fun, if you can handle games being very linear its really not that bad of a bet, against all the crap it gets i actually enjoyed it (I also liked x and xii though)

Well, 15$ for 50 hours of gameplay isn't that bad. Thinking of getting it now.

I've also seen reviews praising the combat system. I also can handle linear games, so it's fine I guess. Thanks for telling me.

I actually was bit relieved when FFXIII was released. All those old FF games on Steam made me think that no recent FF was gonna be released on PC.

From what I hear from fans the Final Fantasy XIII games are really not that worth it, especially the last 2.

Anyway, I have no interest in it tbh I would have preferred to see one of the FF games that are considered good released on steam, X or XII.

I thought XII was pretty bad actually, never even managed to finish it. X and XIII on the otherhand I managed to finish. Also, whilst the sequel to XIII was garbage, so was the sequel to X. Haven't bought the third XIII yet since I was offput with the the second, might buy it if was released on Steam since it looks a bit interesting.

Yes, of course. Unless it's horribly optimized (which isn't uncommon for ports), but I think they'll make a decent port.

XIII-2 actually improved in a lot of ways compared to its predecessor which was pretty much a glorified 50 hour movie sprinkled with bits of gameplay in-between. Sadly, the same can't be said for the story and characters that remain both incredibly bland.

I added "Corridor Simulator" to the tags, and encourage everyone else to do the same.

Yes, it's a awful game, no I won't buy it again.

But this does at least hint that maybe SE is beginning to open their eyes and realize they aren't in the nineties anymore, and that Japan isn't the centre of the world.
The sooner Japanese devs start moving towards the future and releasing their shit on PC, the sooner the console market will die out and we'll enter a new golden age of gaming.

I would not say the fault lies in consoles themselves,but in developers,who are unwilling to make proper PC version,which would be degraded for consoles,not the other way around,when PC version is "upgraded" console version.

Who mentioned anything about consoles?
I just wanted to say that laptops are simply too small for games, especially since HD became popular, and especially when you play something on PC with resolution higher than usual 1080p, it deserves bigger screen as well.
Just IMO, though...

As for that term "console peasants" I don't know...
It's too childish for a person born in 88 to use it.
I'm not even sure what to say about it...

Personally, most of games I'm interested in are on consoles, but I guess it's too bad graphical quality isn't on PC level.
Right now, the only thing I find appealing about PCs are emulators for older consoles, and it's ability to nicely upscale low resolution of games for them, plus have interesting features such as smooth pixels option.

Dunno about getting it, while square hasn't exactly been shit with the company's they've bought with PC games. They're ports of FFIII and VI or whatever the newest one is has been assshit ports of DS/Android(dunno about 7 and i think they did 8 too?). It's good and bad at the same time, So it's really dependent as for how the PC version turns out.

Also every Final Fantasy to released up to the last on PS2 is playable anyway in a better form in emulation.

Well it would still be a underpowered corridor simulator so I honestly doubt that. I'll certainly call it crap either way.

It's great they're releasing XV on PC right away though. I just hope they don't downgrade it too much so it can ruin on antiquated consoles.
