Will FF10 be moved to pc?

[jjssyy]

AS ff7 and ff8(though there were too many bugs),would that happen?

[Snake785]

I truely don't know anymore. First, I hear it was then I hear it isn't. I want it to come out on PC cause i heard it was good and i don't want to buy a PS2.

[jjssyy]

Me too.i like ff,i played it from 1 to 9,but i will not buy a ps2.

[<Id>]

I don't think it will. Square hasnt had much success in the past with the PC versions.

[Quatro]

i agree id... but then again, you don't know if there would be any release....

[Ninjaa]

They might, since FFXI is coming to PC. They might want to show that they CAN make a good port. I really wouldn't hold my breath though.

Myself, I can live without FFX.

[Cless]

I won't happen. Not enough people have pc that would be able to high res very version of that engine. Secondly square doesn't know to port things. And finally the biggest probelm is, that game filled up one dvd which is about 3-5gb and that is 6-12cds and you lose a lot of quality go to a cd.So basically it won't happen and if why would you buy that is sucked.

[Iceydamo]

not true because most people have dvd roms so it could be one of the first pc dvdrom game

[RhombusYSS]

Hmm... I don't think most people have DVD roms... most computers NOW have them... but even about 1.5 or 2 years ago very few computers had DVD rom drives and hence people don't have. I mean, I'm a junior in college, and me and basically all of my fellow classmates bought our computers freshman year when DVD roms weren't big at all. Only a few of my friends have, those who do are mostly freshman and sophomores who bought their comps later...

As for the family PC, most people don't buy new upgrades all the time... maybe a new PC every 3 years or so, so alot of people don't have. Only people who have bought or upgraded their computer some time within 1 or 1.5 years have a DVD rom probably, so I think for the most part the average user doesn't have a DVD drive.

Why not?
PS2's are nice!
Or is it a financial problem?

[Cless]

The braekstation 2 sucks ass, it will break and sony will ignore you and tell you spend 100$ to fix the damn thing.

[Demigod]

I don't think Square is willing to allocate the resources to making a PC port. Porting a game like FF X to PC will take a lot of effort (they'll probably have to create or hire a PC development team). FF X could probably be ported to the PC (on CDs) if they did some proper optimizations. FF7 was 4 CDs but they could have probably shrunk it down to 2. All the 3 of the game discs had repeated game data on them (about 250 MB) so that's 750 MB wasted right there, and the movies could be much smaller if compressed with a good algorithm like QuickTime or Divx. I think the biggest concern for a PC port of FF X is that some of the PS2 effects have to be emulated on the PC.

[Soylvak]

over here you need 200$ to fix a ps2...all my friends' ps2 have the stupid problem with the eye there...you know once you used the ps2 for a year? did they fix that cuz im not gonna buy diffective ps2

[raekwon thachef]

only time will tell if they fixed the problem i would suggest NO ONE buy the :breakstation 2" till they properly adress this problem (the ps2 is one of the first dvd/cdrom readers in one laser most combo drives have two lasers and still suck........)and yes solyvak mine broke i asked sony about it and they said 129.99u.s thats about 260$ canadian AND NO WAY IN HELL AM I PAYING THAT TO FIX MY PS2 or you can buy a laser and install it yourself for around 60$u.s ive opended them up and its a mess in there so this isnt an option for most people its what im gonna try and do but laser units are scarce........and whats to stop the new laser from doing the same thing..



....if you want to get pissed off ' write in caps and throw 500$ dollars away ..buy a ps2

[Cless]

Reakwon thachef is correct. If sony fixes teh breakstation2 or claim respodiseabillity for makling a faulty product I will rebuy one. FFX is impossilbe to port no enough people would hae comp. that could run it. or would want to buy a 6+ cd game that would look bad since it no longer has a dvd support.

[REi_FoX]

i think it will not... cause square thinks that they have no future in pc port unless an online game that is

[Kane]

If they released it on PC (That's a big if), they would undoubtably release it on DVD, or using a very good compression algorithm.
My PC outclasses the PS2 on so many levels. It would be easy to get FFX running on a 700 or there abouts.
The problem would be porting the code itself, which I don't think they can be bothered to do for so little return.

[fujita]

I would do anything to persuade them to make the PC version of Final Fantasy X, unfortunately I don't think that is possible. :(

[Ninjaa]

better get the lipstick and fishnet out fujita. :D

[Soylvak]

Well, if they do make it for pc i'll be freakin surprised...i'm thinking they're not going to make it for pc since they never even mentioned it.well...they didn't mention much about ff8 but it got on pc.

[Cless]

If because your pc outclasses the PS2 doesn't it can run PS2.The PS2 is uses low res and scan lines to makes the games look good. If you go to a high res and remove the scanline you will need a good computer to run the game.

[Kane]

I'm saying that the running of PS2 games in PS2 resoloutions (640x480) will not be a problem, if they decided to release a PC version.

[Eface]

Take an example of grandia 2..... At 640x480 a lot of pc's can run it nowadays.... And lotsa people have dvd-roms.....

that's because they were lousy ports.

[REi_FoX]

well we cannot say that its not possible cause ff9 is yet to be released... (but here we already have ff9 PC)

[Demigod]

FF9 hasn't been ported to PC, and probably never will, the same goes for FF X. We're probably going to have to rely on the emulated version, when it comes out.

[Cardinal808]

on FFonline (http://www.ffonline.com) they mention there is a pc version of Final Fantasy 9 coming.

they say it is a special edition and for the rest there is little known. sqaure is quite still about the subject.

so if 7, 8, 9 are on PC why wouldn't they bring 10 also for the PC. Just wait and see.

[Demigod]

Scroll down to the bottom of the article and you'll see:

Update (04.02.02): April Fools.

This was an April fools' joke and has already been posted some time ago.

____________________

theres a thread here saying it was officially stated that it will be released

[Kane]

Like Demigod said: IT WAS AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE: FF9 IS NOT COMING OUT ON PC

[Cless]

here it is FF7 and FF8 were ported and FFXI might me porter. no other FF will be at this time. I would like to see FFX ported because as much has dislike/hate the game it has redeeming values... But i would not go out and buy a dvdrom to play that game. The reason I would like on the pc is because my breakstation 2 broke and I had it for less than a year.

[Kane]

It's still in warranty if you've had it less than a year.

[Cless]

wrong....90 warrenty, but I did have a store warrenty and I bought a surround sound system with that money. That won't break from me using correctly.

[REi_FoX]

ff10 on pc kinda bit hard think whats the minimum requirement a geforce 3 well

its not going to be out on pc!!!

[blue82]

every games will be available on pc... i dont think EIDOS will skip this great oppurturnity like what they did on FF8... and overall performances will outclasses PS2 as well... PC is far more greater than PS2 as PS2 is dead once it is produced, but PC is not, it will be updated (or should i said upgraded) like how ePSXe will be updated...

[REi_FoX]

well not all how about the resident evil 0??? and resident evil rebirth???

you'll be needing a geforce 3 for that kind of game

[Demigod]

I don't think you'll be needing a GeForce 3/4 for anything but Doom 3 and Unreal 2. If you think the current level of graphics is good you ain't seen nothing yet.

> i dont think EIDOS will skip this great oppurturnity like what they did on FF8

What do you mean? Eidos lost the contract for FF8 after the piss-poor job they did with FF7. I doubt they'll ever get the chance to do another Square game.

[Iceydamo]

look at comand and conquer renegade for the pc thats near enough ps2 graphics so if they can do games like that already I think a pc could handle a ps2 game like final fantasy 10 I heard it may not be true that gran turismo 3 is coming out on pc and it is called gran turismo professnal like I said I don't know if thats true

[Cless]

yes your vidoe card and cpu should be able to do it. But you will lose the quality that dvd's have if you don't have a dvd like me. And doom 3 if you watch the video of skips like hell on a ge 3. unreal 2 should run but I may buy a ge 4 for that.

[Iceydamo]

I have soul reaver 2 on the pc and the graphics on that are wiked and my computer has minium requiments I am runnig a voodoo 4500 pci, sound blaster live 1024 player, 600MHz celron, 128 MB of ram and have 12 gig hardrive plus my systems has problems because I have an onbuild graphics card as well

[Iceydamo]

here is a screenshot from my system

[Iceydamo]

here is another one

[Ninjaa]

Personally I think that this game makes a better demo. Now that being said, I don't think there is any sort of chance that you will see FFX on PC. There is just no way that a half-assed port that Square usually does will work. They would have to pretty much recode the game from scratch.

BTW, That top picture of yours looks like the guy is trying to take a picture of himself. Kind of disturbing, but cool.

[Iceydamo]

Right everyone thinks you need a powerful pc to run a game like ff10 but gta 3 will be out soon on pc and that has really good graphics I will attach a picture of the pc version and here is the site where I read about it: http://www.gamespy.com/interviews/april02/gta3pc/

[Zell]

FF X ain't that special to need the most powerfulll machine on earth !!

[Iceydamo]

well what I was saying if a pc at the moment can handle grand theft auto 3 it could easly handle ff10 but the pc dosen't just handle grand theft auto 3 they have made it look much better.

[Cless]

You guys are forgetting one thing the you would need at least a GeForce vidoe card to run everysingle special effect that PS2 games use. For example non of though can use real time lighting like the could on the PS2 because your frames would drop a lot.
And in that gta3 pic is that pink **** in the background suppose to be a cloud? and i do see how it is better the detail on the cars and stuff is bad. Personally my comp could run. Will I buy no becuase very companies can port well.

[Xeven]

hmm, speaking of FFX.. i've forgotten that i still had to finish the game.. i got bored put it in the shelf .. :heh: well, might as well finish it now.. :D

[REi_FoX]

ffx can be ported to pc... dont compare the ps2s' power to the pc...

we all know that ps2s' graphics and details are more powerfull than the PC but think again these people are BIG TIME...

they can spend money to make a ffx on PC with a little changes of course so if they would make an ffx it would be like changing some details on it like GTA3

[Demigod]

On the contrary, the PC's graphical capabilities are far beyond the PS2's. I mean just look at the graphics on the X-box, and that's using a last generation GPU. The most notable thing about PS2 graphics are the jaggies:p. When Nvidia's next generation GPU hits the streets everything's going to change.

[Zell]

Could be . But how much will cost !?!

[Nameless]

less than how much it will make, I'm sure

umm, the ps2's graphics is limited to 640x480 max, and 4 megs.. , compared to an average GAMING computer, graphics wise, the ps2 sucks a$$.. okay, so it has a ridiculously fast pipe, but its just there inorder to make up for the miniscule 4 megs of frmbuff, but anyhow, i still have one and still like it.. :D

[Cless]

I never said that is impossible to port PS2 games. I just said that you need a GeForce 3 or 4 to use the exact same options and run it at a higher res. Becuase I know for a fact that Geforce 2 can not run real time shadows like the PS2 or the Gf3 and Gf4. One other difference is that pc games run at 30fps and PS2 run a 60fps.

[Demigod]

> One other difference is that pc games run at 30fps and PS2 run a 60fps.

What exactly do you mean by this? I'm pretty sure I've ran PC games are more than 30 fps.

And I'm also pretty sure I've ran games with real-time shadows on my GeForce 2. Maybe it's not the same quality as the PS2 or GF3 but whoever said it had to be. Besides, no one said you had to run the games with the exact same features. In fact, if they did port a PS2 game many of the graphical features would probably be omitted, or be replaced by something else.

[Kane]

Maybe even updated, like GTA3. Realtime Shadows are in Jedi Knight 2, and they run fine on my brother's GeForce 2.
The thing is, most people are moving to graphics cards with Vertex and Pixel Shaders, which means that developers will actualy start to use them. They would be useful in a port, as they can 'emulate'(not the best word but...) features which it doesn't have.

[Nameless]

Opps, stupid me :p. I was talking about FFX when Zell was talking about gfx cards :D

[Iceydamo]

I have a voodoo 4500 and that handles the real time shadows in jedi knight 2 very well

[RhombusYSS]

Yeah my GeForce 256 DDR handles the real-time shadows pretty damn well too

[G-Pitts]

Dont compare the power of pc with ps2, pc is more powerful and can run any ps2 games with graphic enhancement if the the game be ported to pc.

[Zell]

That's a fact , but will it happen ?!

[G-Pitts]

For FFX it will never happen but for other games, just wait and see :)

[Cless]

First, the word PC is ****ing vague. I look at my sig to see what I have. But you are all to optimisitic. Yes it can be done and yes the certaint features will omitted and that was my ****ing point, That you can not run an exact clone at high res unless you have a good comp. And I am happy that your card a can run real time shadows. I don't own Jedi Knight 2 so i can't test it on my other comp.
