Lightning Returns to Steam?
In case you haven’t noticed, not a whole lot ofFinal Fantasygames are on the PC at the moment, even in port form years later. But it seems as if Square Enixis coming around to the idea, and we may even see futureFinal Fantasytitles launch on PC alongside of consoles.
In regards to bringing theXIIItrilogy to the PC years back,Final FantasyproducerYoshinori Kitasehad this to say, “As far as the technology is concerned, it would have been possible for us to make a PC version, but we decided against it for two reasons: we looked at the market situation and we didn’t think it would be a good idea, and also it would have involved lots of complex issues like security. So we decided not to do it this time around.”
But he is hopeful, going on to say, “But we see potential in it and there are lots of regions and countries where PC is very strong. So in terms of our hope of being able to deliver our games to every single country in the world and to as many gamers as possible, yes, we would definitely be interested in pursuing that route in the future.”
So yeah, we could easily seeFinal Fantasy XVon the PC, possibly at launch. Kitase also notes that theFF VIIandVIIports are “quite popular,” whichof coursemeans they’re possibly working on aFF IXport — riiiiiight?
