I know that's an old posting and was "debunked", but it IS essentially being built on the PC and then ported to PS3 and 360. That leads me to wonder...

Capcom's new development process, supposedly, has been to develop games on the PC and then port them over to consoles. The only release they've done on the 360 and not released on the PC has been Dead Rising, despite that they haven't always announced PC versions until after console releases.

If Square Enix is building the game on the PC platform and then porting to consoles, I feel like there's a good chance they may release FFXIII on the PC. It seems like if they are planning this, they wouldn't announce it until after the console releases either.

What do you all think?
 
We shall see. The only thing I can possibly imagine though is that even if they did release it... it would probably be when no one really cares about it. Not to say I don't like older games, but ports like these usually take their sweet time (if at all).

I'm assuming Bayonetta for example probably will be on PC sometime next year.

Aren't all games built on PCs? or did you mean built FOR PC and then ported?

I mean it's being built FOR PC and then ported. Even the correction points out that they're currently running the planned 360 version on PC and then moving it over to 360.
 
would like to see it on PC but wonder how many DVDs it's going to be and how much hard drive space it'll take up

Same here, tried it and couldn't figure it out basically. The fight mechanics were strange. Perhaps I lack the patience to really get good at it, but sometimes the KISS method works best for RPG games.
 
Final Fantasy XIII will never come out on PC... Ever.

24 hours till release.
