Port: nope nope nope

Honestly I think it's great SE is finally releasing their games to PC. You had 7 & 8 back in the day, and then for over 10 years nothing. Now you got III, IV (graphics are very child like but still), re-releases of 7 & 8 working on PC again, and now 13. Now I can finally try the game everyone hates, lol.

Would be nice if they did 12 first, or eventually get to 9 and 10, but one step at a time I suppose.

Steam's pre-sale is a dollar off lol

And like what Chaosx said, it's a good thing that FFXIII, though a few years late, came to PC, I bought my original copy on midnight release along with the LE XBox 360 and I still bought the presale's copy!

Now I wish they would do the same for XV :3

Square had games on computers before ...

Click at your own discretion. Japanese interactive novel style game with questionable imagery, not pornographic but certainly NSFW.

Just mentioning that Square-Enix is returning for it's roots with their current line of design and scripting (lol)

Enix on the other side was the developer of one of the very first anime style porn games ever made. Again it was a interactive novel with "lolis" (lol).

I bet they want to bury that past away from sight ... lol

I look forward to see how these new FF games for PC run on my ..mputer... lol

I would definitely give 15 a go if it came out on the PC.

Despite my disdain for this title in particular, it comes with hell of a silver lining in narrowing the rift between one of my favorite franchises of all time and the consoles that held them hostage all these years.

Now if only they can do Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross along with FFV, VI, IX, X and XII, then I'll be pretty damn content.

Chrono Cross for the PC, Yes Please!

While we're at it, let's throw in some Kingdom Hearts, Xenogears, Vagrant Story, and Front Mission titles.

Meh, one step at a time. Don't want to overwhelm the people at SE.

I'd sooner expect porn with well written scripts.

I'd rather they do ports of 9, 10 and 12 first.

Chrono Cross for the PSP was the same so hopefully that wouldn't change much.

The thought of them trying to bring some child like version of 6 to the PC worries me. Don't ruin that game. 4 is stomachable in small doses, but for the love of humanity, don't do the same for 6!

At first it was alienating, but somehow I thoroughly enjoy the DS version of FF4 they ported to Steam. The cutscenes put some nice perspective and add some more depth to what were otherwise bland encounters and left to imagination and interpretation. The voice acting is decent, and the additional viewing scope of the environments is much welcomed to it's 2D alternative.

It is what it is now. I know pretty graphics don't make the game, but I mean make them reflect the nature of the story. Nintendo graphics tend to be very child like is all. The 3D was nice for 3 though I admit.

That being said 3 and 4 weren't too bad as much as I exaggerate.

I can only hope they would put some effort into making 6 a respectable game with the graphics. The people who originally played this are all in their late 20s and early 30s now. Go for that audience. Use the newer character models from ps2/ps3/ps4 and not the Nintendo model.

Only $14.39 on steam right now for 13 tho, not too bad. (pre-order)

Someday, I'd like to see 2D make a comeback with sprites and an emphasis on animation and attention to detail.

The best thing about the DS remake is the enhanced difficulty.

So? 13 sucked the first time around. I'm not subjecting myself to that horror again just for the sake of being able to mod it.

I Challenge you, to mod into a good game!

That was one of the comments on the story in the OP.

"I hope someone mods it into a good game."

How about a damn sequel instead?

They have done a 5 and 6 port for iOS and Android. The sprites are a little more cartoony, but honestly it didn't take away from the games for me. I doubt they will fully remake either of those like they did with 3 and 4, though I could be wrong with the New 3DS coming out.

What would be amazing is if they would release other DS games they have made onto steam, namely Bravely Default. I know Sakaguchi really hated the idea of porting games, but I don't see why. The ports that have been done to iOS/Android have been done very well and the remakes for DS really did add to two already great games.

I know it is a cash grab for the most part, but honestly as long they don't try to outrageously price the games ($10~$15 is still a little high, but steam does a lot of sales so meh) I really don't mind spending a little bit extra for nostalgia factor. The ports so far have had little issue and glitches and run better than emulators have ever done for me.

Well, something was intended at some point, but sadly nothing became of it. At least not yet, but 13 years is hell of a time gap.

In August 2014, at a PAX Prime panel, Sakaguchi stated that he had intended on continuing the Chrono series into another game, but that problems with Square Enix management prevented it from coming to fruition.

Don't care for XIII, but this is a good sign. PC ports for the rest of the PS1/PS2 games would be awesome. All of my old systems are long gone.
