    Default Lightning Returns on PC

    So uhh, Destructoid took a bunch of pictures from the E3 grounds before the event begins and the crowds show up.

    This is one of them:



    See those platforms listed at the bottom? PS3, Xbox 360, and....PC!

    Do you suppose its a printing error? If its not, thats a most interesting move on SE's part, I must say.
    I like Kung-Fu.

    Works for me. I like my PC. It is an interesting move for Square, though.
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    Oh wow, curious indeed! Although I'm surprised SE haven't done this sooner tbh - I'm guessing they've looked at the relatively tidy sales figures their published titles like Tomb Raider and Hitman enjoyed on the PC and they may be testing the waters with this game.

    I could see them making new 'costumes' or 'classes' for Lightning. Maybe turn all the residents of Luxurion into walking potatoes. I don't know.

    Finally another FF for PC rather than MMO game SE want to show also on E3. I wanted to see one of them as FF VII and VIII are rather an old ones.

    Funny you should say that. The FF MMOs are probably more alike traditional Final Fantasy games than FF13-3 will be.

    But never let an opportunity to bash something you haven't tried go unchecked, right?

    Welp, turns out it was indeed a misprint, it's only coming out on consoles.

    Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy 13 may see a release on Windows PC [update] | Polygon

    Ah well, it was fun to speculate about none the less!
    I like Kung-Fu.

    I was going to say that it would make little sense to have the third game in a series randomly be released on PC when its other entries were not.
    I believe in the power of humanity.

    True, but we've had so many games this gen and upcoming games where sequels are available on platforms the original games weren't, that it's not too far fetched.

    If it's true Lightning Returns will come out on pc. When Lightning Returns came out I would buy it instantly. Thank you Square Enix I hope Lightning Returns really out on pc.
