Um, Hey guys I was just wondering if there would be any more FF games coming out for the PC.

I don't know anything about FF and I've never played it, but it looks really interesting but I really don't wanna buy an old game with dated graphics and whatnot, so I'm hoping there would be something new that's comin to the PC. I know there is somethin coming for the 360, and I will be purchasing that also but I like my PC more =]

Thanks in Advance Peeeeeeeeple :pt1cable:

There is also FF XI which has been out since 2001. But the one to look forward to is FF XIV which will be out in early 2010. Both of these are online games and not the standard console based FF games that you're probably more likely to see around.

FF MMO's do not count. Period. Its heresy, as far as I'm concerned.

Series has gone downhill since FFV anyway; non-sensical stories (all FF from VI onward), characters who flat out serve no purpose (FFIII, FFVI onwards), and pathetically easy minor enemies (every FF since FFIII), and bosses that are either easy, or impossible at X level (every FF). Never mind that FF games hold you're hand from start to finish...

Dragon Quest is simply a much more blanced series. The focus on the quests, instead of characters, avoids all the pitfalls that have befallen FF over the years. And DQ allows for much more freedom of movement, as most quests can be handled in any order (As opposed to FF limiting where you can go at any point in time...).

I still have my FF VII PC box...that's right your all jealous...

 

Also, wait for XIV to come out earlier next year, this is as described above not your typical FF thats turn based but rather of the MMO flavor.

 

Also I know graphics add to immersion but try out 7 at the very least on PC or PS1. That will give you a really good taste of what the series is about.

^^ If only the story in 7 made sense to more then 1% of the people who played it (BTW, I'm in that 1%).

Serioulsy, every story since V has been total nonsense.

And anyone who thinks they spent the game running after Sephiroth has no clue about the plot to VII. Seriously, its been aover 10 years; you would think people would know the plot of the self-proclaimed 'greatest RPG of all time' by now...

Unfortunately I've only had experience with FF I for anything before V. The only thing I remember from that was that you had to get four crystals, each protected by some elemental boss. I was having fun until I got stuck and couldn't figure out where to go...(is it me or is this a tiny plague most pre 32-bit RPG's were plagued with?).

I have played VII, VIII, IX, X, X-2, and XII, currently playing XI...on a 14-day trial.

I wanna say of those, VII and X were my favorite. VIII and X-2 my least...although in X-2 I recall being completely immune to physical and magical damage, which was cool, but took away the challenge of the game.

The pre-FFIV ones gave some freedom, but FF games hold you're hand a lot. Even FFI made you go to Garagu Volcano, where you then got the airship, etc.

I'm personally playing DQV for the DS right now; its about time it got a proper english release (DQIV > FFIV, DQV>FFV, DQVI > FFVI)

Online MMO's are NOT JRPG's, period. I'm still in mouring over DQ9 and its changes...square has now killed the two premire JRPG franchises...

I started looking into AION...Looks actually interesting. I loved GuildWars which is the same developer...Anyone else have any thoughts on it?

Too bad that every MMO is basically played like an online version of the Dragon Quest series (small quests, characters with limited character and strictly defined roles, overarching storyline, etc). So basically, you're quote should be:
