it wont be. it's being optimized for S-E's Dive In streaming service for their games. because of that, the servers have to be able to run multiple instances well. expect a solid port

Yes, if it is connected to a USB3.0 port. Otherwise it might be slow.
Well, that'll mean it'll be optimized but it doesn't necessarily mean they'll add in a lot of graphical options.
I wouldn't be 100% sure there would be mods. Sure, FF7 is modded but I've heard FF3 and FF8 were almost, if not impossible to mod.

I would love if someone modded a level cap and/or hard mode into FFXIII-2.
It is and it's worse than FFXIII.

Probably a bit of a silly question but still; Run time lock as in I'll need to periodically connect to the internet to reactivate the game?
I work at sea, so anything that needs repeated internet access is pretty much useless to me

That's disappointing to hear
im still unsure what to do. Damnit If I didn't just rebuy them because of the SE i got I'd have bought already lol
It's mechanics are sound. The story is just as terrible as FF13's though.
The entire FF13 saga is a narrative failure. There's some interesting gameplay stuff there though.
Twenty minutes later...
#2.
SHE WON'T BE FORGOTTEN. FF13-4/5/6 coming to Steam exclusively.
AWWWWW SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIT

It can be done, but definitely not recommended. You'll get slower performance when playing on an external. Plus internal HDD have been getting cheap nowadays. I got a WD green 3TB drive for about $109 on newegg.

Haha, man I cannot believe this game is on the Top 3 on Steam. More Lightning incoming, who says it cannot strike twice.
Knowing Square Enix, they will probably read that as "We want more Lightning games, do it."

But what would you pay if it were around $10-15 normally?

this is the only reason i'm supporting these with purchases
Me too. Though I'll wait until the game is out so I can see what their porting skills are like.

Hope their reaction is the same as when they first saw the sales to Bravely Default.

Finally, HD towns!
Don't know if I want to playthrough it again, but I do want LR with better framerates.

I really hope the FF13 series does well on PC. I'd love for it to create a chain effect on other Japanese developers realizing the interest people have for them to port their games to PC (More likely the ones that localize their games). Sure FF is the most mainstream RPG but it's still something.

This bodes well for future PC releases from SquareEnix if a port of a 4 year old game whose announcement hasn't even had time to circulate much of anywhere yet is #2 on the store based on *pre-orders.*
Final Fantasy XII: Zodiac Edition, Type-0 HD, and Final Fantasy XV, PLEASE.
Would buy them.
Console gamers are definitely waiting for a remaster of this lol.
More Japanese devs should try. I think they'd be pleasantly surprised.
If the entire trilogy was $10-15 normally I'd get it.
Steam sales are a wonderful thing.
we can expect XIII-2 to hit steam just before the Winter Sale.

I'd kinda prefer for it to not be a joke.
There's going to be enough circlejerking and drive-by post trolling on this game without any help.

What are the chances Tales of Vesperia ever releases on PC?

Only if this sells well. Better buy a dozen.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
DAMN THIS IS HOTTTTTTTTTTTTT

#1....
Honestly, at this price, anyone who didn't play it yet and enjoy RPGs... this is a must have.
Don't let the absurd hate some people give this game get to you. It has its flaws but its definitely an enjoyable ride, with a convoluted story, but a very good battle system, incredible graphics and music.
Its good more people will have the chance to play it now.
Impressive that its already #1 on Steam. Totally deserved too, because Square is making a lot of right moves in this TGS. I am impressed.

In real 1080p goodness? Fuck yeah.
Seriously though, with a price that low I might as well try it out. It's not like I have any expectations so I wont be disappointed.
Can't wait to see this dog modded as a playable character.
I didn't like it when I played it on my 360, but since it is the only numbered Final Fantasy I haven't bought(excluding MMOs) I will probably buy it/ Though might wait for it to go on a sale. Even if it is mostly to keep encouraging Square Enix and other Japanese publishers to port all their games to the PC.
I am very happy it looks like Japanese publishers are noticing the PC now. I have been saying for years that them ignoring the PC was stupid and they were leaving a lot of money on the table.
