Want FF4 on PC? Don't want to spend $15 bucks on it because holy [parasitic bomb] its a [tornado fang]ing port of an android port of a DS game?

Its half off on Humble (Which makes it about the same price as 7 and 8 ).

FF13-2 is apparently supposed to be only $13.01 on Nuuvem (a Brazilian store that sells steam games) but I can't seem to get it to trigger US dollars (It goes from Reals to British pounds without converting so it expects 33 pounds and that's like... too much.)

I don't see the problem.

I'd gladly shell out $15 for it because holy [parasitic bomb] it's an amazing game.

[Sakura Leic]

I imagine it would be good for LPers who want to LP the game and can't afford to mod their 3DS to capture DS and 3DS games without resorting to using emulators.

[Police Girl]

FF3 is now on sale for half off.

You know, if you want it.

[ViperAcidZX]

My brother used to have the DS version Final Fantasy III, and other than annoying requirements to unlock the Onion Knight class, I had fun with that one.

Isn't there a capture card people can use to record footage from their 3DS (unless they're expensive)? I remember Vixy showcasing some gameplay footage off her 3DS when she upgraded her PC plus livestreamed some 3DS games like Azure Striker Gunvolt on Twitch a couple of times before.

[Police Girl]

Yeah but you have to mod your 3DS to use it, and its expensive (and probably discontinued), and it only works with normal non-XL models.

We were talking about IV, not III.

I think it costed around $400-500 to do, I know a heavily underrated  Let's Player opened up a tip jar to fund his during the Summer, and his subscribers funded it immediately because his community is pretty awesome.

[ViperAcidZX]

Whoops, I was thinking of III for some reason. So as punishment, I checked out FF IV on DS/PC to see what was I missing out on. Well now I know what to add to my ever-growing Steam wishlist...

[Sakura Leic]

It's worth it since the DS version of 4 is very different than the original game.  Though that one Hummingway sidequest is still total bullshit.

[Arikado]

Though that one Hummingway sidequest is still total bullshit.

Indeed. I didn't really like the Augments either. I honestly preferred being able to swap out party members.

[Sakura Leic]

I didn't mind the augments, I just wish they were clearer on how they worked.  At least you can get one for Edge that allows him to have a Front Row attack power even when he's in the back row and Dual Cast for Rosa is very helpful.  Not to mention the game is much harder than the original.

Besides if you want switching party members you probably shouldn't be playing 4 in the first place since it is not known for that at all for the main game and the first half of the After Years.

[Phi]

The one thing I hated about IV was the ridiculous requirement to obtain the Onion equipment.

A freaking 0.4% chance that the Dragons will drop the colored tails. Of course, getting the equipment is completely optional, but it doesn't make it any less strenuous.

[Sakura Leic]

Ah yeah I didn't even get to that part yet, and the Rainbow Pudding had the same drop rate.  Seriously you shouldn't do that in the middle of a side quest chain!

And let's not forget the Pink Tail too.

[Police Girl]

13's updates to bring the game into the modern era of PC games (AKA, graphics options and more resolutions besides 720p) are coming tomorrow.

They apparently already added a confirmation for exiting when you try to quit in Full Screen mode (It took them till november to do that, and besides flipping Confirm and Cancel in the Asian versions that's all they did for that month).

Its good to see they're trying to fix the game but this [parasitic bomb] shouldn't happen post-launch.

(I also notice now that 13-2's getting all of the DLC for free except for a Preorder Bonus, a 360 exclusive thing, and the "Hey we paid EA and Ubisoft to have a Mass Effect Outfit and AssCreed outfit so here you go" DLC.)

Again, good to know they're putting more care into this despite it basically being an afterthought.

[ViperAcidZX]

In other news: Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster is coming to PS4 in Spring 2015. Will it be any better than the PS3 version? We're not sure...

[Fxeni]

Not likely, considering the whole FFVII spiel.

[Sakura Leic]

Yeah I don't see them changing much just because it's going to be on the PS4 too.

[Nexus]

So XIII-2 is out on Steam now, and people are varying between the optimization not being as bad as XIII's, and it being worse. But it's definitely not called a major improvement by any so far, even if it is better optimized. And they only have like five screenshots that primarily advertise Lightning and what I presume is the opening parts/fight of the game. Way to still unwittingly (or intentionally) attempt to mislead customers again into actually thinking Lightning is more than just a fancy cameo / plot catalyst role along with a bonus optional party member for this game, Square.

[Phi]

Oh, it's definitely intentional.

Squeenix loves shoving Lightning down everyone's throat.

[Sakura Leic]

It's like she's the new Cloud and Sephiroth.

[Phi]

Yep, that's precisely what she's become.

Hell, when XIII was first announced, everyone noticed how similar she was to Cloud.

[Sakura Leic]

Well Lightning does come from clouds. *rimshot*

.....I almost wish we had a rimshot Kobun.

[ViperAcidZX]

Squeenix loves shoving Lightning down everyone's throat.

But then everybody can crap thunder!
Sorry, couldn't resist.

[Police Girl]

Oh, it's definitely intentional.

Pfft.

Oh, and 13's update is up, unlike 13-2 (Which has a plethora of resolutions between 720p and 1080p available) 13 only has 720p and 1080p.

EDIT: Running the game once gave me the full set of resolution changes.

As for FFX/X-2, wasn't that announced way back to be coming to the PS4 or was I thinking of the Vita version? In any case I imagine it'll be fine on PS4, I doubt they'll have any issues porting it.
