Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII was supposed to release on PC for sometime in fall 2015, but producer Yoshinori Kitase announced on Twitter that the game will release a little later than they had expected.
Here’s what the producer had to share:
“Producer Kitase speaking. This is a development status report on the Windows PC version of Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. We are currently finishing up the last parts, so it’ll be just a little longer until it is complete. At this rate, it looks like it’ll release sometime in December. We apologize for making you wait longer, as we previously said that it will release sometime in fall. We’ll have an announcement once more details are available.”
It's fairly common knowledge that Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth enjoyed a relatively smooth development cycle, owing to the fact that Final Fantasy 7 Remake's team was largely kept intact, and the first game had obviously laid the foundations in terms of visuals and gameplay systems. It took Square Enix around three years to craft Rebirth, and it expects the same kind of timeline when it comes to the third (and final) title in the trilogy.
I really think it should've been just one game or two at most, kept to the simple turn based combat, and no crazy changes to the story. But it's whatever. I liked rebirth but man was it bloated with so much unnecessary and repetitive stuff. Square is really betting their money on the remakes. I do admit the remakes have been the only mainline ff games Ive actually quite liked since probably 10 lol.
That's pretty crazy if you think about the 2005 PS3 tech demo that started this all! I'm not sure if they ever intended to remake the game at that time, but the fan outcry for it was so incredible that it eventually became a reality! Now imagine all of the fans who have died waiting for this. :\
I mean not too surprised, they already have most of all the assets already made. I just hope it's UE5 and they crank it to 11 and finish strong. I also hope they go back and upgrade Remake and Rebirth to UE5 too. BUY THE DAMN GAME PEOPLE!!
Now, as Square Enix is embarking on a journey to remake one game with three games, we’re learning why Square has decided to keep all three of these games exclusive to PlayStation consoles.
In an interview with the Washington Post, producer Yoshinori Kitase cites keeping Final Fantasy VII: Remake, Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth, and seemingly the third game exclusive to one platform has been a core part of the success of the first two games so far.
I don't really think that's true. I went out of my way to buy a PS5 to play FF VII: Rebirth. So, it's the other way around for me lol. I would have bought another Xbox (after trading mine in not too long ago) if it was only there to play. Final Fantasy's name recognition, on top of VII's renown in the gaming world is why it's moving a lot of units.
FFXV was open world and released on the weak as heck Xbox One S day and date with everything else.
Ubisoft titles... Red Dead Redemption 2... Hogwarts Legacy... GTA V on the 360 and PS3.
No. Being exclusive isn't the reason it's a seamless map.
That's a laugh, because that was also the reason why FFXVI didn't perform as well as expected wasn't it?
Game Informer: "We talk to various developers to dig into why this trend is so prevalent and how different teams approach this concept in different ways."
This is the only one out of the 3 that I like.
gameplay was good, ending was horrible, still FFXIII-1 was the best.
About time, LR and Type-0 were the only good things to come out of Fabula Nova Crystallis
Well that was a thing I didn't expect to read today. Finally they said something and I'm still interested in it.
Long (and quite baffling) wait is about to end. =)
Oh god no...
