I'm just praying that what they say is TRUE, (that is, that FFX is really going to appear on the PC) and not just another rumor. I haven't seen anything anywhere else about it, sothat makes me worry. Also, the fact that they didn't port FFIX. But of course, there IS square's history of inconsistently bringing the Final Fantasy games overseas, and that consoles me into thinking that this is just another of their little 'inconsistencies'. Anyway, if anyone saw reports of a FFX port anywhere else on the net, please post it and relieve me of my anxiousness.
 
HA!Square's gonna release FFX for the PC, and they're gonna call it FFIXpc. :wink:
 
But then, for extra money, they are going to re-releae it as FFX PC as well  :)
 
Could you actually provide me with a useful answer, versus just mocking me?
 
Hey man i dont think they are mocking you... i think they were just bashing square... and or all the hype and rumors started about all the ports to ff7 and 8 and all that crap...
 
Hey, If FFX is not released for PC, Square will suffer a big loss, ok?
 
Man for once Joey you are SOOOOO right. Square will suffer a big loss in the head department if they dont do this posrt and do it DAMN well!
 
Couldn't be arsed?Perhaps because FF8 didn't do quite as well as it could have. I don't think FF7/8 did as well on PC as they did on Playstation. If you think about it ... they never added much extra onto the conversions. With FF7 that was OK because not everyone had 3D cards when it came out, so you didn't expect amazing effects. By now though, PSX graphics look soooo bad compared to PC games that a straight conversion would look horrible compared to a native PC game.

Of course they could do a proper conversion that spruced things up, but Square doesn't seem to like doing that.

Once they're into PS2 territory though, the games'll look good enough that a PC conversion wouldn't be quite so laughable.
 
I also think that the studio that did the last two conversions were working on the film so they couldn't. Also fice made a good point, they'd have to spend a lot of time making it look good for the pc so they may just not bothered.
 
I just hope with this port they dont cut the graphics down insanely so that it willl run on TNT cards! And I hope I hav emy bloody 1.4 T-Bird by then as well! Please god!
 
Y'know, something just occurred to me. Have you all heard of the remakes of FFVII, VIII and IX for the PS2?  Maybe they didn't want to release the PS1 IX so they could release the souped-up version instead.... something to ponder!
 
Qhimm has said many times indirectly many times why FF9 can't be released for PC. The line "FF9 uses all of the special effects in PSX" tells us this. And, I think that FF9 for PC has already begun a very long time ago by square(since 1999). It was unreleased maybe due to the bugs in the code(Crashing everytime in battles)unless they "emulate" the files from the PSX version.(PSX uses Gameshark for debugging meanwhile PC uses WinICE).And, Qhimm, check your e-mail, now.
 
Sorry, but no. Technically there's no reasons at *all* why they couldn't port FF9. The fact ePSXe can *emulate* it shows that! They didn't port it for other reasons - marketing or whatever, it wasn't because it would have been technically difficult. The FF style engines are pretty easy to program; you don't have many of the considerations that other engines do.
 
Your right Ficedula. I dont know what would be so hard about telling a pc to have a bunch of charatcers walk around on a screen. I think ePSXe does a better job than port would do any way.
 
"Did Square ever give a reason for not making FFIXPC?"I figured it was, like ficedula said, marketing.  A number of the reviews I saw in some pc gaming magazines of the ff7 and ff8 pc ports were not so good.  Plus (this is pure speculation I could very well be wrong) I don't think the pc ports sold nearly as well as the psx versions.  They probably felt it wasn't worth the effort.
 
I think it's because of the graphics. FF9's graphics are more reminiscent of FF7. FF8's graphics were a complete jump from FF7 as far as the battle engine and the summons (Square was really proud about those). Guess some "Big Head" at Square thought that they would get flamed or something about FF9 looking like FF7 and not FF8.They need to fire that "big head".....
I think FF9's story is better than FF7's. And the playablility is a lot longer. FF7's is about 40 hours, FF9 is a good 60 hours.
 
Threesisxty could you complete FFVII in 33 hours if you dont do any of the secrets first time though? First time though FFVII the first disk took me 24hours(But then again I was an FF rokie then)but while FFIX first time though took me 33 hours(Going to try and get that down to 30 at least this time. Then go back and do the secrets as I can.)so dont go saying FFIX has 60hours in it! I do know how you would play it to get 60 hours out of the game! But any way I dissagree again with your notion of thinking that Sqaure would get flamed for FFIX Pc. The character in my view achally looked better since they featured more polygons to them and a higer texture resalution. Although cause of 16bit colour the battle sceanes in most cases only looked a little better than FFIX. A Pc port of this game could have rocked. But no. Now I am all for ePSXe I feel that it is better than any half arsed port. So there.

Ah well thats just my 2 cents. Sure you have yours.
 
....they got flamed for FF7PC's compatiblity, and FF8PC's Music, wave effects, and backdrops.And I did use the word "about". It's a good 20% longer, anyways. And I was speaking more towards the fun hours of play...not the tedious part of leveling up and beating every little thing, in the game.
 
Threesixty now you have forced to to fly though FFVII as fast as I can then do the same in FFIX. Thanks. :P
