Well, that depends. Is as likely as the day 23 March 2016 happening. I mean, the universe might implode the day before, but i'd still say that 23 March 2016 happening is pretty much definitive regardless.

There are several issues with assuming FFX/X-2 is 100% confirmed.

Steamdb listings have never been 100% accurate. There is significant precedent for companies abandoning an app if they change strategy or another person marking the listing with whatever name they chose.
There is also no precedent for these Sony exclusive PS2 HD games being ported to PC. It's been theorized that they use proprietary Sony software to assist with the ports.

Like I said, the port is likely but jumping the gun on confirmations is disingenuous.

For you.

SE has been continuously bringing Final Fantasies over and over and over again. Considering the entry exists, it means that a port was definitely started at some point. Them going back on their intentions is extremely unlikely. And if the proprietary Sony issue wasn't dealt with already they wouldn't start working on it at all so I don't think that's relevant anymore anyways.
 
I'm fairly tempted :p

so far I think since there are no timers counting down on dailies I been able to restrain myself a lot better, and I have not purchased a single thing just yet, but my wishlist exploded.
Same here. 90 games in my wishlist... but let's be honest, most of them will stay here forever.

Verdun sounds like a game I'd be interested in, I've wanted to see a WW1 FPS for a while now and I don't know how this slipped past me. My only qualms are how populated it is and whether or not it's actually any good

Someone in the other thread mentioned those are just some "Rifftrax"? So, those ain't even the movies? HOW LAME

I thought the Rifftrax would just be the publisher fo the movies or something.

Happy fucking New Year.

SE has been continuously bringing Final Fantasies over and over and over again. Considering the entry exists, it means that a port was definitely started at some point. Them going back on their intentions is extremely unlikely. And if the proprietary Sony issue wasn't dealt with already they wouldn't start working on it at all so I don't think that's relevant anymore anyways.

And I've postulated those same arguments, and many more, in the past for FFX, FFVIIR, FFXV, and Kingdom Hearts 3.

How can you be 100% certain that was Square's application? Your arguments don't preclude my point on this situation.

How can you be 100% certain Square didn't run into a licencing issue and cease development (the app hasn't been touched in months)? Again, your arguments don't preclude this situation either.

At the expense of sounding like a broken record here, I'm not saying the port isn't likely, it very much is, I'm saying that you cannot 100% confirm it's existence as that post was doing. Everything on that post that was crossed out had either been released or officially confirmed. FFX/X-2 is neither, hence the point.

Different situation tho, because of certain reasons, not comparable to the other way around.

Because reasons.

Sony exclusive previously, I get it. Just shining light on the strange word choice.

Complaining about port begging is worse than port begging

What about those people who complain about those complaint about the port begging?

Takes a special kind of person to do that.

Getting there on the Final Fantasy games.
And very sad news for Umihara Kawase & Code of Princess :( I was hoping they'd mantain current sales somehow.

It's going to be a phenomenal year for PC alone, I doubt that.

yeah, me too, I mean not buying any games the same as in 2015

Should have just said 2016, because you'll probably scroll through sales come morning and realise you forgot a title or two.

No, I'm really gonna try hard not buying any. Yes, it's gonna be a wonderful year for PC, and especially PS4 but the games won't run away, and I want to change the way I handle my library. I want to complete games now, and spent my money on other much more important stuff. I feel like I'm ready, to go a year without buying any games, and instead stabilize my economy. I did it once before, I think it was back in 2011/12 were I didn't buy a single game all year, and I want to repeat that.
