Damn, one less reason to move onto current-gen consoles.

But really, I am making list of games I want to play on PS4 (when I get one), once Im finished with my PS3 backlog, and list just grew shorter - obviously gonna play this on PC.

Tzuno3253d ago

Man PC has never been better than lately and it will keep climbing, the technology is to damn good to ignore.

tablecloth3253d ago

Wonder if they learned from FFXIII and FFXIII-2.

Articuno763253d ago

If they are going to be showing it off live, and on laptop hardware no less, hopefully that means they have confidence that the port is a solid job this time around. It should be as it would be using a PS4 base, which is very similar to the PC.

And I certainly hope they have. I can't believe how bad FFXIII-2's port job is.

mezati993253d ago

when is this conference exactly?

tablecloth3253d ago

That's a pretty solid deduction.
Still a bit worried about how much effort would be put into it. I would love to be able to downsample it from 4k to 1080p ( since it's a laptop showcase ) on my pretty decent rig.

And in my experience, FFXIII-2 performed better playable wise. FFXIII had that annoying micro stutter even with controller whereas the other had weird frame locks and dips.

DiscoKid3253d ago

I hope so. 13 was a so-so port, but 13-2 was even worse. Couldnt finish the latter because gameplay, albeit playable, was not visually enjoyable.

mezati993253d ago

it's a matter of time before they announce FFXV PC version

Eiyuuou3253d ago

Only if it is successful. Even then it might still take a while.

Articuno763253d ago

TBH I think the wait is more of a formality than anything else. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see FFXV launch simultaneously with the the console versions. Heck, it might well be that an Episode Duscae demo has been in the works for the PC this whole time and SE are simply waiting for AMD's PC event at E3 to announce it.

Clearly the FF series has been sucessful on PC, otherwise we wouldn't see The After Years or be hearing of things like this. And hey, this is the same company that's willing to confirm KH3/FFXV for the Xbone, so multi-platform releases on the PC seem like a no brainer.

Maybe I'm just being overly hopeful here though. After all, sometimes these companies do things that defy belief.

Eiyuuou3253d ago

@Articuno76

It would certainly be a first, for a mainline FF (excluding XI and XIV) to simultaniously come to the PC. Highly unlikely if you ask me. However, I do not dispute the fact that it will come to the PC eventually. Maybe after a year or so.

Of course I hope that I'm wrong. The more people that can enjoy this title the better.

NoctisPendragon3253d ago

The FF XV demo is a marketing deal , you will never see it without FF Type 0 HD even if SE wanted .

LegoIsAwesome3253d ago

Might as well announce FFXV for PC.

Th3o3252d ago

Agreed I'm actually excited for FF 15, I loved Crisis Core.

How Final Fantasy’s First M-Rated Game Laid the Foundation for XVI’s Dark Tone

Final Fantasy XVI demonstrates how the franchise has matured since the release of its first M-rated installment, Final Fantasy Type-0.

Type-0 Is The Darkest Final Fantasy Ever Made

DS: “I hate that Type-0 is forgotten among the Final Fantasy games. While not the strongest entry, its mature story makes it stand out from the others. And even though Final Fantasy now has three rated M games — including Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin and Final Fantasy XVI, — Type-0 will always have the crown of being the first, and arguably the darkest.”

i agree that it is indeed dark, but it has its issues.

and i feel like the ending is what makes it really a dark final fantasy game.

the rest is more or less war where teenagers fight.

This game was the epitome of the FF dark age pretty much, was hella boring and the gameplay was tedious. I'm glad SE got the series back on track

gold_drake320d ago

well, it was more of a spin off rly.
especially after they dropped the fabula nova crystalis stuff

H9320d ago

I actually really love this game, the main problem however was that the entire story and personality of the characters, was in the lore that you need to dig very deep to find and external materials outside of the game, honestly it has my favorite lore in the franchise, I wish they had made the game more story focused, god it would have been a masterpiece

The Best Final Fantasy Spin-Off Titles Ever Released

Xfire writes "The Final Fantasy franchise is nearly as old as the video game industry itself.

First released way back in 1987, what initially started as a hail mary title has since turned into a media franchise that has spawned more than a dozen mainline titles and been featured in other forms of media, making hundreds of millions of dollars along the way.

But while the mainline titles get all of the attention -- all eyes are currently on Final Fantasy 16 -- the franchise also has a handful of spin-off titles that are just as good as the mainline titles."

I enjoyed World of Final Fantasy and I love Crisis Core

SDuck1158d ago

Do you even know what a spinoff is?

FallenAngel19841158d ago

Do you? if you even have to ask that

FallenAngel19841157d ago (Edited 1157d ago )

@ cool

It’s more than just having characters. KH uses various gameplay mechanics, themes, terminology, & aesthetics from FF.

It just happens to be a spin-off that’s also a crossover, similar to fellow spin-off crossover titles such as Pokémon Conquest, Blazblue: Cross Tag Battle, & Warriors All Stars

coolfool1157d ago

Does including characters from a game make it a spin off? If so, is Smash Bros a spinoff of Metal Gear Solid? 😕

Nerdmaster1158d ago (Edited 1158d ago )

I would put Bravely Default as the best Final Fantasy spin off, even though it doesn't carry the Final Fantasy name (although the japanese version does have the subtitle Flying Fairy so it could carry the FF acronym).

About the games in the list, I like Dissidia 012 a lot, but my favorite is Theatrhythm. I still turn on my old 3DS from time to time to play a few songs.
I wish it had some remixed or orchestrated versions of the old songs, though. NES/SNES songs are nostalgic, but when played by an orchestra they're taken to another level. Strange that some people complained that Theatrhythm Dragon Quest did exactly that... I guess nostalgia does speak loudly.
