Why there is no Final Fantasy 1 & 2 on Steam?

[MAN]

I can understand why there is no FFXI, but other than that Steam has practically all the Final Fantasy saga, from 3 to 15 (including sequels). So why they don't release the first two games?, they could just port the PSP versions (Square/Enix has done that in the past).

Any thoughts why these games aren't on Steam?

A regular full priced AAA game that works on mobile, goes for about £3 or £4 at full price. Square Enix RPGs? £10 to £15.

You see the problem?

Most FF games in the App store are between €5 and €10 for me. Which is the same pricing as Rome Total War, XCom, Star Wars KOTOR, Baldurs Gate 1 & 2, and FTL to name a few.

I don't consider their prices to be outrageous, to be honest.

They used to be €15-€20, yes. But Civ 6 has the full unlock on €22 (used to be €50) and the expansions still all are between €33 and €43 for the bigger ones.

Ah in that case, thanks for correcting me.

I don't have a mobile (only a Kindle) so I haven't looked at the mobile stores in a while.

Seems they might acutally be learning then, so we can hope.

Hope it's not considered a necro yet, but thanks for the good answers.

And tbh, in the german store, the (old) FF games are all (no matter which one) still 17-20 € for me
:(

Well, 2 is around 10 €.

Hmmm, wouldn't be unusual for Squenix t have wildly differing EU prices.

There are two factors. First, "it depends which game you are looking at". FF 3 appears to be €13.

I'm not interested in old games, but 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8... they are all below €17. Maybe your definition of "old" is somewhat off? IX is the first "high" one at €21; it's not on my shopping list since it looks too old so I can agree with that one. X/X-2 is on my shopping list, and it's €25 -- not sure why they combined them, but there's a chance that it can be counted as two games. 12 gets really expensive at €50 for a single game, while the 3 pieces of 13 are at 13+16+16 etc.

Second, the interesting prices are the ones you get on sales. Final Fantasy doesn't usually go below 50%; so you can just halve the prices above.

Bring Final Fantasy I and Final Fantasy II on Steam, Final Fantasy XI has already been on Steam

Sorry. It doesn't work like that.

Valve can't BRING anything. It's down to the IP holders to offer their games for sale. Not the other way round.
