- sweatyyeti, on 07/26/2008, -0/+99It's not coming to PC.
Update on the site:
We contacted Square Enix, and according to the company, "The game is being built using PC-based development tools, but that doesn’t mean it’s being created for the PC platform. Our current plans are to release FFXIII for the PS3 and Xbox 360 only. Sorry for the confusion!" So to recap, it's being created with PC-based dev tools, but with plans only for PS3/Xbox 360 console release. - NecroSexy, on 07/26/2008, -1/+31I love how the "update" refutes the entire premise of the article. I wouldn't expect Kotaku to take it down ($), but they didn't even have the decency to change the title.
- h4mx0r, on 07/26/2008, -1/+24Goddamnit, so its not coming to the PC... (the update)...
I was about to send them a bottle of my semen labeled "HAVE MAH BABIES" - leftler, on 07/26/2008, -2/+24Out of the thread this is a hijacking.

When has a game for a console not been made with PC tools. unless you are running a compiler on the ps3 in linux, but I doubt that. - hinmanj, on 07/25/2008, -6/+21I got into final fantasy solely because of FF7 for the PC. I played 8, then they stopped making them for PC and I never played one again. I WILL BUY THIS FOR PC!

- NiGHTSChao, on 07/26/2008, -0/+11Read the article, they made a mistake, its not PC-bound confirmed
- TheGreatZarquon, on 07/25/2008, -10/+20No surprise here. The more platforms they can get Final Fantasy XIII out on, the larger an audience they can reach and the more money they can make. Everyone wins.
- seraph582, on 07/25/2008, -0/+10FF 4 for DS is pretty effing epic. Check it out. They're remaking CHRONO TRIGGER for DS as well. I cannot wait!

- Chebsi, on 07/26/2008, -0/+6Lawl. Don't read the update.
- Chebsi, on 07/26/2008, -0/+5No you won't.
- mrblue182, on 07/25/2008, -1/+5What about PSX and NES FF games? FF7? FF8 (idc what you say, i loved this game)?
- rolandvvv, on 07/25/2008, -5/+9DO WANT!
- Jektal, on 07/25/2008, -1/+5Well FF7 on the PC was actually far superior to FF7 on the PSX. Faster load times, and upgraded graphics.
Hopefully this will continue that trend. - DyceFreak, on 07/26/2008, -1/+5hehe
I still think the ENIX merger completely destroyed Square... they have since yet to release a renouned classic like 6 or 7 since... it became some kind of crazy ass franchise with mupets and MMO's... - Mathieujofis, on 07/26/2008, -0/+4I don't know if you guys read the article, but it's not being released for pc.
- gmiley, on 07/26/2008, -1/+5I'll just pretend you didn't say that. =)
- otros, on 07/26/2008, -0/+3FF8 was on the PC too.
- inactive, on 07/26/2008, -0/+3I'm not sure what qualifies as good graphics. If you look at the reviews for online the majority of the series has perfect scores in the graphics category
I like turn based and I'm not alone. I already have Zelda for a non turn based rpg.
Gamespot reviews for ff graphics.
ff12- 9/10
ff11-8/10
ff10-10/10
ff9-9/10
ff8-10/10
ff7-10/10
Sounds like you just don't like turn based games. Some people do.
Make sense now? - DarkDx, on 07/26/2008, -0/+3Aeris is Cloud's father.
- marine63, on 07/26/2008, -0/+3LIESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
- Caviarmy, on 07/26/2008, -0/+3that and the soundtrack running through your midi synthesizer so you aren't actually hearing the actual OST
- DavidGX, on 07/27/2008, -0/+2Except that it's actually NOT coming to PC, read the update.
- Dundasbro, on 07/26/2008, -0/+2And was killed by Snape.
- Lith25, on 07/26/2008, -0/+2hmm..i experienced slower load times and even one place that refused to get over 1fps...but that was just me.
- inactive, on 07/26/2008, -0/+2Heres why
1.emotional and in depth story lines.
2.excellent sound tracks
3.tons of GREAT side quests
4.lots of replay value
5.familiarity with FF game play. (summons, biggs + wedge, cid, vehicles etc)
6.Save the world from the bad guys.
and finally even though you clearly disagree, most people find it to be FUN!! - Spyder228, on 07/26/2008, -3/+5Who cares, a new FF game is always a bigger confusion fest than the last game. I never really saw the appeal of them. Much better RPG's out there, especially on the PC.
Let the burying by FF fanboys begin! - Tedricks, on 07/26/2008, -0/+2Goodluck with that. Updates suck.
- M724, on 07/28/2008, -0/+2Inaccurate? Oh well. I already dugg it, so...
- SupaDawg, on 07/26/2008, -0/+2(moderately) Epic fail
- modelchick8806, on 07/26/2008, -0/+2Now you know you're wrong for manipulating that title. :|
- setrajonas, on 07/28/2008, -0/+2Just in JRPGs alone, the Shin Megami Tensei series has outshined it for years in my opinion.
- murf43143, on 07/26/2008, -0/+2NOT coming to the PC. Way to go champ.
- DavidGX, on 07/27/2008, -1/+2pc gamers just got pwned... again.
- Elranzer, on 07/28/2008, -0/+1Buyouts tend to do that. Look at what EA does to their bought properties. In fact, Enix is pretty much the EA of Japan.
- warplayer, on 07/26/2008, -2/+3Except for Sony.
- Dracusis, on 07/28/2008, -0/+1"SquareEnix's target audience are console gamers, not PC gamers"
I thought their audience were "gamers" full stop. They make stories, wonderfully interactive stories, what the ***** does it matter what "platform" they make it for?
Also, Crytek doesn't make PC games any more because they suck at it. They made a nice looking game, sure, but they hyped it as the second coming of Christ in terms of game play and visuals. The media they released presented this gorgeous game, but to actually play that game they'd promised you needed a $5000 machine and even then it didn't run too well. Is it any real surprise that people didn't want to pay for the privilege of having the wool pulled over their eyes and spanked like red headed step children? - Elranzer, on 07/28/2008, -1/+2Except for Sony fanboys. It shrinks their ePenis about an inch.
- cassler, on 07/26/2008, -0/+1Retracted by Kotaku, headline inaccurate - buried.
- Azselendor, on 07/26/2008, -0/+1The company name should be Squeeenix
- CaffeinePowered, on 07/26/2008, -0/+1I wish :(
User Mods + FF Game = Epic - Jektal, on 07/29/2008, -0/+1There is a FF6 remake for the DS, which actually adds a bit of new content even (new super-friggin hard dungeon, a couple extra espers/magicite)
And I've already got FF4 re-made for the GBA, wasn't that impressed. It's okay, but wasn't realy able to draw me in. - Myst3r1o, on 07/26/2008, -0/+1Yeah, uhh... you might have wanted to wait a few hours before jumping to conclusions and posting a link to digg about a non-existent PC version. lol.
- inactive, on 07/26/2008, -0/+1its being developed using PC-based tools. its not coming out on the PC.
- freakgd, on 07/27/2008, -0/+1Your out of your ***** mind, yes six was good, eight was good, nine and hell even ten.
7 is the most overrated pile of ***** i hate ever played. - bagboyrebel, on 07/26/2008, -1/+2most overrated in my opinion. I've tried playing 3 times now and I could never bring myself to finish. The only part I liked was Midgar and a little bit beyond that.
- acero47, on 07/28/2008, -0/+1Except Enix has made/published some great games (Dragon Quest/Warrior Series, Actraiser, Soul Blazer, EVO, Illusion of Gaia, Terranigma, Robotrek, Star Ocean, and Valkyrie Profile just to name some of their bigger ones).
I'm sure EA has some good games on its resume, but the majority seem to be crap. - DavidGX, on 07/27/2008, -0/+1It's not coming to PC.
PC gaming sucks. -
