Final Fantasy XIII Series coming to PC?

[Madame Adequate]

I'm very curious to see if there's any scope for modding the XIII series on PC. It's hard to mess with VII and VIII, but people have managed it with some impressive results.

I'd also looooove to get X/X-2 HD on the PC, save us having to get a PS3.

But you can emulate those aready . It's not even illegal if you just use the original game discs

[Ergroilnin]

And if you own the device and dump your own BIOS*

At least that's how it was with PCSX2 (best PS2 emulator).

[Mirage]

That depends entirely on local laws. I could have a friend dump his PS2's ROM and send it to me without breaking any laws here.

Also, PCSX2.

I don't think we're going to see muuuuch in the way of modding on the XIII series. People have been ripping models out of it since it came out in order to make nude versions of everyone (ah, internet), but actually injecting modified content into the game code? I'm not optimistic for much. Square published stuff has never been particular mod-friendly, in fact the PC versions of FFVII and FFVIII are some of the better examples.

So yeah, I wouldn't expect many exciting mods. I have gone and pre-purchased XIII on Steam though seeing as there was a 10% offer on it. It's odd how utterly I can't be bothered to play it again on my PS3 but the thought of getting the PC version kind of excited me. And hey, the price is right, so no complaints here.

... Eff, I'm gone for a couple months, and THIS happens?? But... Well, I'll have to at least look into XIII-PC. I'm kind of hoping they'll see sense with regards to the sequels, though.

SO I'M LATE! Deal!

[Dat Matt]

So FFXIII is now available.

Pour out the contents of your wallets to the left.

Holy trout almost 60gb required O_O Oh well downloading now.

[Fox]

Apparently the PC port is rather awful. No options to speak of, the game closes if you escape, locked to 720p. Runs at 60fps though, which is nice.

I can't confirm any of this at the moment as I hadn't booted my Steam up in a while so I have 10 massive updates to download before I can even start on XIII's 60GB.

[escobert]

Good. Now the PC master race scum can stop blindingly jumping on the hate train of the internet and experience a wonderful game.

lulz. Not my fault console games suck

[Ergroilnin]

Well game doesn't start for me and tons of other people. Good job enix.

[Fynn]

I'm still downloading it.

[Fox]

Can confirm awfulness of the port. Quite disappointing. 60fps is nice though!

[Mirage]

There is a 3rd party game loader now that can increase the 3D resolution of the game. There is also one that can do supersampling for even smoother graphics, but that one breaks the user interface a bit.

[Freya]

It's only been a day and someone has already fixed stuff? Wow.
