Final Fantasy III PC Release Confirmed! Square Enix Rumored To Start Transition Of FF Series to PC Including FFXV! Re-mastered Graphics Expected!

It appears a new Final Fantasy game is coming to PC platform. Most might get disappointed since FF III is no longer new to gamers and might accumulate little interest. Still, if this actually happens then perhaps Square Enix may consider porting FFXV to the PC.

According to Siliconera, Final Fantasy III will be coming to the PC. As Siliconera noted, a rating by Germany's USK board leaked the news that the PC version will be based on the remake of Final Fantasy III that got released on iOS, Android and PSP.

According to another report by Gamespot.com, The Final Fantasy series may have a future on PC, series producer Yoshinori Kitase has revealed.

Speaking in a recent interview with Eurogamer, Kitase stated that the early stages of development for the Final Fantasy XIII trilogy saw the team working on PC, before porting the game to consoles.

The producer revealed that while it was an option for Square Enix to make a PC version, the team ultimately "decided against it". Kitase cited the "market situation" and "complex issues like security" as reasons why a PC version of the game did not go ahead.

However, the recent release of Final Fantasy 7 and Final Fantasy 8 on digital platform Steam proved to be successful, renewing the company's interest in the platform.

"It's an early stage for us," Kitase said. "We haven't got an awful lot of experience in this field. So when we have more know-how and experience in this market, we would be very interested."

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII was released earlier this month. The game marks the final instalment in the Final Fantasy XIII universe, and concludes the story of protagonist Lightning.

The newest entry into the Final Fantasy series, Final Fantasy XV, was announced last year. The game has been confirmed for a PS4 and Xbox One release, but Square Enix is reportedly undecided on releasing a PC version.
