Squeenix Final Fantasy III came to PC

[OracleX]

Do you guys think more PC releases are coming?

 

[Major_Blackhart]

I'd hope so, but Squaresoft seems to be filled with fucking idiots, so I doubt it.
Either that or they'll be released along side other multiple platform releases, etc and will be poorly ported versions.

 

[OracleX]

I would say go for it SE, easy money for the taking..

I think it looks pretty good, like upscaled PSX graphics -

I like the way PSX textures warp but maintain their pixelation as the camera gets close to them.

The only thing that looks weird is the font.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

Hmm, I wonder if this means we'll be able to mod vagrant story now?

I wonder if these PC releases for Final Fantasy games is to gauge interest in the PC market. If these games do well, Final Fantasy XV on PC might not be such a pipe dream.

What is it with them and FF3? That game is really best enjoyed in its original NES version, I say unto you.
If any need to come to the PC it's clearly 4, 5, 6 and 9.

What with Koei, FromSoftware, Konami and even SquareEnix it seems that the japanese developers are finally warming up to the platform. Its no wonder it took them so much, what with the platform being very marginal in their country (limited to perverted consumers of visual novels). But the situation is very different now.

I really like 9, but if they do get it on PC, they need to fix the slow battle transitions.

They made the reimplementation for NDS years ago and it seem is an incredibly cheap game to port. This days it's on phones, PC, every console you can think off.

What the fuck is with that flash gamey UI? Theres no way that is the final font they are going to use. Do these people have eyes?

It has drop shadow, it's acceptable!

 

[Jasede]

Gives you a real "My first video game" font / UI feel.

What do you think this is? Bravely Default?

It's basically the iOS interface because, you know, PC gamers are really heavy on controlling their games with sausage fingers so we need them monolithic buttons. Even more hilarious when you compare it to DS version.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

So is it any good?

 

[pakoito]

So is it any good?

It's the most soulless, average and generic of NES jRPGs. So yes.

 

[Infinitron]

It's out: http://store.steampowered.com/app/239120/

 

[OracleX]

Alright!

Next?

 

[Hobo Elf]

Maybe FF8 will be next

One day they'll update a good Final Fantasy game. FF6 with hi-res sprites and bugfixes? I'd pay 20$ for that.
Who am I kidding that would require effort from the developer.

 

[OracleX]

I think we'll be seeing up until VI (the ports of the smartphone ports)
After that, I have doubts.

Would it be easy to port the HD releases op X ?

All according to keikaku.

FFVI advance had bug fixes and also disabled some of the really cheap combos like Gau with the offering, wind knife, and raging stray cat. You can still do the Cyan charge bug but I'm not really sure how. And you can still skip South Figaro during Locke's scenario and thus not recruit Celes, causing the game to bug out in a few really hilarious ways.

They'll also never put the effort in to make high resolution sprites. If they did anything it would be godawful cartoony 3D.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

But I'd buy it.
