Definitely want to see it coming to PC, with all the others.

Please bring it and the others to Steam! Why do we even have to ask? All your stuff sells well on Steam, Square!

It will come to Steam after they mop up PS4 money. Sraggering releases sucks but it is worthwhile from a money perspective. Might get it on PS4 anyway cause i dont foresee any mods and I dont plan to cheat so why not

Because it was just a cheap emulated version.

Just go emulate the game. You won't get any good real native ports any time soon.

I bought it on the Switch. Its one of the better port which is not saying much since all Square-Enix did was update character portraits. In all honesty, I wish this is all they did for most ports since they are usually garbage when they they try to update their games. For five or six bucks, First Departure R is worth the price but it cost twenty, too high.

I got this on switch also, and just beat it. I would love to see this come to steam. Why is it that square-enix always does this? They drop one game from one series, then they just forget about the rest of the series of the game? Take chrono trigger for example, been waiting for a release of chrono cross for some time...

Console timed exclusives is to get people to buy it on consoles which generally have a higher split of money go to the developer/publisher. I believe the Sony deal for most 1st party games is 10% whereas Steam takes 25%.

Also its harder to pirate on consoles atm.

PlayStation Store is 30% (includes licensing fee). I don't know about 1st party, but this game is 3th party
It's exactly like Steam, Xbox, Nintendo and GOG.

Only EGS is 12%, but I guess you know how terrible that store is.

Not really, and not necessary. About SO1R, it's perfectly playable on the Nintendo Switch emulator called Yuzu. It's playable also on modded Switch. Just the PS4 is a little bit difficult right now.
So, it's better if they release the game on Steam now before it's too late.

Pretty sure Square is a 1st party dev for Sony. Long standing deal. They arent owned by Sony but their partnership is older than I am and I am nearly 30.

And I said it was harder which it is. Requiring an emulator is already a step more than just hacking an exe to work for free. Not to mention how hard emulators will run your CPU.

Basically I stand by what I said

Hope they port it to PC

bad enough we missed the last one. They need to port both, and get the lead up with an FF7 Remake. ℡ Søny to eat a ⅅ.ⅈ.ℚ ■ lol
