Following the announcement of the release date, a CG movie and an anime series based on Final Fantasy XV, in an interview with Engadget, the director has said he was "aware of the big call for a PC version."

"Unfortunately we weren't able to do simultaneous development on a PC and console version for XV," he said. "We had to focus on the console version and our goal was to maximize, optimize everything for the HD consoles. Once that's done, then we will definitely take a good, hard look at PC and what we need to do, and consider all our options. But right now we aren't decided, we're still considering a lot of things."

I think most of us expected the game to be ported to PC at a later date, and while this isn't a confirmation, it certainly lends credence to that belief. We all have games we wish were ported to PC, like Red Dead Redemption, Okami, Persona, etc. So despite ports being more common recently, we can never know for sure until it has been properly announced.

Personally, I think I'll stick with the console version. SE's ports aren't all that great, and I rely on SLI for new releases, so the console is a safer bet. For those who can run it though, I'm sure this is great news.

FF XV is the only reason I'm considering buying a PS4 or an XboxOne. If they port this game to PC then that'll save me from buying either console and staying with the PC for this console generation.

Square, your port for Lightning Returns was very good so please give FF XV the same treatment. Even better release it on Gog (wishfull thinking >_>).

Of course it won't hit DRM-free shores, how dare I ask for that. I can always wait for the Android version to come out in the far future though, when we have phones with 500GBs of storage!

Even if the game does get a DRM-free PC release, I still likely won't be getting it.

* This game is an action game, not an RPG, and when I think Final Fantasy, I am thinking RPG. (If the game had a different title, this wouldn't be as much of an issue, but I still tend to ignore 3D action games.)
* The FF series has gone down hill starting with FF6 (which was still decent, but significantly worse than FF5).
* The series has a tendency to waste your time with unskipable cutscens and other annoyances.
* There is a lack of female playable characters. (Might not mean much to some people, but it actually is a dealbreaker for me in this case.)
* Given past games in the series, I don't expect the gameplay to be well balanced.

I don't see what's wrong with FF XV being an Action-RPG. Part of the reason why I've stuck with the series for this long is because they keep changing up the combat system. I love the turn-based systems of the past but if you're going to keep repeating the same battle system then eventually it will become stale. From FF XII's Active Dimension Battle system to XIII's Paradigm Shifting, they constantly keep coming up with innovative ideas to keep the battle fresh and interesting. XV's battle system looks similar to the Kingdom Hearts series which I think is a welcome addition to the FF series.

Final Fantasy? What is that? I thought this thread is about Firefox?!?

Mozilla Fantasy!

Didn't it used to be a really famous and respected jrpg series? From what I can remember.

Nonononono no....you don´t understand...it´s Persona 5 we want for the PC, not FF XV. ;/

Nah, to be honest it´d be neat to get a PC port for FF 15. :D

Sure, if only Atlus learned how to port their games to PC...

Lost hope for that happening a long time ago.

Sounds nice, but if they can sell ANY of the preceding titles DRM-free before I get a full head of grey hairs, I'd be thrilled.

Ah, the Japanese and their IPs...

Not the most interesting Final Fantasy game, about the same as Dark Souls 3 for me. I was looking more forward to Star Ocean Integrity and Faithlessness until I realized: a) I might just hate the franchise and b) the game doesn't seem to be taking a direction I am so thrilled with, among other things it kinda looks like a Tales game.

But, back to FFXV. I may get it one of these days if I end up with a PS4 some way. It probably wouldn't be very high on the list. However, it's nice to see Square think about their PC fans, even if it is as an after thought (that's mostly a joke).
