Wow. This is no error, that wouldn't have happened arbitrarily. This is definitely something.

I'll gladly pick them up on Steam if they forego privacy-invading DRM this time, but I doubt that. Somewhat possible given their newly-launched streaming services, though.

I would be so happy if that happens :) I love the games and it would be sad if I could not play them again sometime in the future if I don´t have a PS3 anymore. And why should they not put it there? I can already see all the haters moaning about this if its really true but I will never understand them :rolleyes: Nobody is forced to play them on Steam and a company should never stop liking and talking about their own game just because there are people who don´t like it. :cookie:

Good move and one that's long overdue. No reason at all why PC players should miss out on FF games.

FFIV DS/iOS version is also on its way after FFIII came to Steam earlier this year.

Further evicence for this.

The logos are hardcoded in a footer JavaScript file specifically for this game:


By requesting when was the file modified the last time (i.e. put in URL: "javascript:alert(document.lastModified)") I see:
"09/05/2014 07:53:37" (about 2 weeks ago).

So yeah, all other JavaScript footers I found in the SE website show a much older date, I'd say this was not a mistake and we may see an official announcement soon (either that or the webmaster was trolling, :D).

I don't mind FFXIII saga that much. I really enjoyed XIII-2 so I would love to play it again on PC. Modding community should make it look better.

I support JRPG's on Steam, too.

Yeah. Hopefully this does mean games like FFXV, FFXVI and KH3 on PC. I can see myself one day going PC and abandoning consoles. It's going to be inevitable.
