MSI has issued a press release about its presence at this year’s Computex, and revealed that Final Fantasy Type-0 will be coming to the PC (and will be showcased running on its new laptops). As the press release reads, Square Enix will work with MSI to have a global launch of their latest game Final Fantasy Type-0 at MSI’s COMPUTEX booth.
Final Fantasy Type-0 will be demonstrated on MSI GS60 Red version and GS70 Silver version. Both models are described as lightweight laptops with fancy color design and incredible gaming power.
According to the press release, Final Fantasy Type-0 brings an immersive world, memorable characters and the production value known of the series, together with high quality gameplay and storytelling truly worthy of the Final Fantasy name.
“Step into the fray as Class Zero, a group of students from an elite military academy whose country is attacked by an aggressive neighboring Empire. In the brutal and harrowing struggle that follows, you must engage a range of powerful magical and combat abilities using a new battle system, to conquer the Empire and uncover the secrets behind the battle.”
Square Enix has not officially announced anything about a PC version of Final Fantasy Type-0.

who plays on laptop? On such a small screen??
17 Inch gaming laptops are pretty badass.
People that don’t know how to spend money*
People who travel a lot.
Because the screen is small, you can play most games on ultra or tweaked ultra.
if that is your logic then you can play games on smartphone at super duper ultra setting lol
lol, that will work out nicely.
There is a flaw here , what do you do about the textures , the animations , the IAs etc …. ? The resolution won’t change anything about those things .
You guys know that there are actually “gaming” laptops, right ? those powerful enough to play any modern games like desktops can ?
Lets not forget their price but.
Since when did price got mentioned ? I was pointing out the flaw in your logic XD
Clearly you are unable to have conversation, each topic flows only along one path.
That didn’t make any sense LOL XD
Smaller screen=lower resolution=greater performance.
Uhh ………………….. nope 0_0
there are laptops that have 4k res but small screens 0_0
I know, mine is 1080p with a small screen. Generally laptops come with a screen resolution that gives best performance for the card in them.
Ughh… okay, let me explain.
Small screens that have 4k res and big screens that have 4k res both have the same amount of pixels in them. The difference is the PPI (pixel per inches). The smaller the screen the greater the PPI but it wouldn’t make any difference in performance of the game whatsoever because it’s still rendering the same amount of pixels of it’s big screen counterpart. Got it ?
Christ are you really unable to comprehend my words. My AMD laptop same size 1366×768 is its max resolution with a hd 8850m, Nvidia laptop with a 1920x1080p resolution and an 860m, same size screen. The performance difference b/w rendering something in 1366×768 and 1920×1080 do you think they are the same!! I am not talking about its fckin size, imagine two monitors of the same size but different resolution,one is 1280×720 and one is 1920×1080, they both have the same graphic card, now lets play we are playing crysis at the max settings, so will the one with the higher resolution give the same amt of fps as the lower one. I take it you were unable to understand me before. I get it that there are screens which are small with higher resolution but the manufacturer puts in an appropriate card depending on the resolution of the screen so unless you buy a general purpose laptop, your performance will not be crippled or bottlenecked.
“Because the screen is small, you can play most games on ultra or tweaked ultra”
“Smaller screen=lower resolution=greater performance”
“My AMD laptop same size 1366×768 is its max resolution with a hd 8850m, Nvidia laptop with a 1920x1080p resolution and an 860m, same size screen”
You contradict yourself so much your replies are both agreeing and disagreeing with me —__—. You need to go back on your reading comprehension skills, dude.
And you have the guts to be pissed at me? LOLZ XD
me
Laptop peasants who do not comprehend the true power of pc.
just announce ffxv for pc already !
June 16th.
I don’t think they’ll announce the game for PC until Console versions are out for awhile.
well they still need to release lightning returns first 😉
lol port beggars keep begging
FF15 is developed on PC and then ported/dumped down for consoles. Just like almost any other game.
Just like FF XIII.
Tokyo Ghoul is not a jump series.
What?
It is.
Say the console plebs begging for XCOM 2 :^)
Lol don’t see that anywhere, to be fair XCOM 1 was never popular on console while FF is popular on all platforms.. 😛
GLORIOUS PC STEAM MASTER RACE!
Poor consoleplebs too stupid to see the screaming for XCOM 2 on consoles.
Back to Dualshillers, buthurt Sony shill :^)
That’s nothing compared to 50000 PC Beggars begging for Bloodborne lmao
https://www.change.org/p/from-software-release-bloodborne-for-the-personalized-computing-platform
And when it comes out to PC, people will be able to play it as a gamer should play it. Not limited as in a POS4,
And if it doesn’t, it is ok, we’ll get better games (Witcher 3 is proof of that).
https://www.change.org/p/from-software-release-bloodborne-for-the-personalized-computing-platform
Go see the Bloodborne petition 50000 of you begging for a console game and also signed it lmaoo ;D
Dat sick burn.
http://i.imgur.com/BWaY6.gif
F**k off and go back to dualshockers peasant
Aw got someone mad 😉
of course we will. no reason to be missing games on the greatest platform is there?
And your tear is delicious. Prepare to lose more of your “exclusives”
This was never an exclusive it was also on Xbox One LOL.
I just laughed at all the port begging before for this PSP game ???? mainly PC nerds
I don’t see you signing the $16 petition. http://store.steampowered.com/app/346830/
Okay. I hope this is new step for FFXV on PC
“Never ever” the console shills said
Hilarious.
Isn’t this Agito? Agito has already been confirmed for PC and there’s no other information about Type-0 being on PC besides this article.
Agito was on smartphones, Type-0 was on the playstation portable
When? give us the date of the booth
Just started playing it on PPSSPP emulator, now I get to stop before it even began. Can’t wait, the story is more grounded than the usual final fantasies.
I guess this means XV’s coming to PC. But not after months(or years, Ughh) after console’s release date.
consoles is holding back the release of PC games. it suxs.
Consoles aren’t holding anything back. If you wonder why it isn’t release on PC then ask the developers themselves as to why they won’t release a game simultaneously on PC and consoles. Has nothing to do with consoles.
Here is a tip, they care more about money, and the money to be made is on consoles.
Now SE will see how sales on PC are lower than sales on consoles .
They don’t seem to be complaining about the profits made on the ~2 million FF copies sold on Steam just yet, especially considering that all of those have been ports of years old games as well. None of those have been in bundles either.
And that’s before getting into XIV, which would add another 250-275K copies on just Steam alone, and likely several times more that outside of it.
Your precious XV is next, boy.
FF XIV is an online game , pc gamers can’t hack it .
If FF XV is on PC day one SE is going to loose money , that’s for sure , they don’t have a fan base on PC .
“Your precious XV is next, boy.”
Lol , this is my problem .
I don’t think you quite understand what you’re talking about, but the only thing that’s for sure is that they’re leaving money on the table by not releasing their games on PC.
And they certainly do appear to be building quite the audience on PC already; between their efforts and those of other devs and publishers, it has already become the number one platform for JRPGs this generation.
FF XV will never sell more than 1 M on PC if it comes out day one but instead it will hurt the sales , people on the internet are already hyping the fact they may be able to hack FF XV instead of buying a ps4 + the game .
1 M or 2 M is nothing at all for FF XV , i don’t see how they earn money if they release FF XV day 1 .
Well, let them hype not needing to purchase a redundant 400 buck paperweight.
Yeah but most of SE games are on/will be on that 400 bucks paperweight .
I said that kind of news was bad for SE not for the gamers .
If people buy a ps4 for FF XV they have high chance to buy FF Dissidia or FF XV-2 , FF Type-1 , FF XVI or even SO 5 .
Or they can simply purchase those when they inevitably release on PC instead.
Everyone wins, including Squenix for making more money than they would if they didn’t bring those games to PC.
A game like FF XV needs 7 M copies sold at the very very least , how is SE able to do something like this if they make a PC version ?
I wish that was true but I kinda doubt we’ll get Star Ocean 5 on PC.
You need not worry yourself and PC doesn’t need to sell more copies than console anyway to make more money.
But SE earns more money from a ps4 + a copy sold ( since most of thier games will be on consoles ) than a PC copy sold ( for 1 sold you get at the very least 1 pirated , and that 1 pirated could have been a console copy sold , we never know ) .
SE is the last AAAs Japaness companny but now they start forgetting where thier money came from and where most of thier games are .
I don’t care if FF XV is on PC 1/2 year after , i can’t see how a day 1 PC version won’t hurt the sales of FF XV and SE console games .
For instance , if FF Type-0 HD was also out on PC with the FF XV demo day one , can you honestly tell me they could have sold 1 M wordwide like now ?
Honest PC gamers love deffending PC pirates , i can’t understand that .
FF XIII sold approximately 1.3 milllion combined on consoles, so what the f’ are you talking about. It sold around 400k on steam, and it was a crap port of a 5 year old game.
Right, because mod chips have never existed.
Yep it was rampant on the PS1, chipped PS1 was a common thing and if they could do it now console users would pirate games for sure.
What ? 0_0 Since when did XV became an online game ?
And “PC gamers can’t hack it ?” what does that even mean ?
Wrote FF XIV , how can you pirate an MMO ?
Yes, you actually can. It’s called private servers or emulated servers.
And it is uselesss , it barbely hurts the main MMO .
I don’t care if it hurts or benefits anything. I simply answered your question
Butthurt that your consoles are losing all of their precious exclusives. lol
And how do you lose money by selling a game on more platforms? Console gamer logic? “I don’t want PC gamers to have this so I’m going to say that PC gamers buying a game actually makes the publisher and developer LOSE money! Yeah, that’s it!” >_>
No i am butthurt about PC hackers , there is no way SE is able to sell more than 1M copies of FF XV on PC whitout the game bieng hacked by 6 million users .
The same thing happenned on the PSP , this is why they don’t make PS Vita games i think .
Hackers ? I think you mean pirates. And there are many games that will contradict what you believe.
The second line didn’t make any sense. Vita hasn’t been hacked yet so games cannot be pirated yet so you cannot use the pirates on PSP as an excuse —__—
SE has no fanbase on PC unlike the games you are talking about .
They don’t need to wait the Vita to be hacked , FF Dissidia is an Arcade/ps4 game now and it is a good thing .
Do you really think EVERY GAME that comes out on PC has a fanbase so they sell well ? that’s just stupid. What about the JRPG games that came out on PC in the last few years ? Why are the publishers of those games keep on releasing their games if they didn’t sell well on PC ? PC gamers like any gamers like trying new games too that’s why even new games sell well.
“The same thing happenned on the PSP , this is why they don’t make PS Vita games i think .”
“They don’t need to wait the Vita to be hacked”
You just contradicted yourself. You were using piracy as an excuse so SE doesn’t make games on Vita and yet Vita games cannot be pirated because it hasn’t been hacked yet. Now, you’re saying that doesn’t matter ? so what’s your excuse this time ?
I’ll be short FF XV PC = ok , FF XV day 1 PC = end of final fantasy .
Unless you have a way to prove me that FF XV will sell more than 1 M day one on PC the PC version of FF XV will hurt the consoles sales , i have already seen many people saying how they don’t need to buy the game anymore , it is clear like a crystal .
Hearing you the PC sales for a Jrpg are amazing and up to a Final Fantasy standar .
I don’t see how i contradictate myself … they know the ps Vita will get hacked sooner or later so why would they even try .
“No i am butthurt about PC hackers , there is no way SE is able to sell more than 1M copies of FF XV on PC whitout the game bieng hacked by 6 million users”
This was your post. You didn’t say day 1 so your post read like you didn’t want XV to be on PC at all because it’s only going to be pirated and will not sell well. Understand you now, over.
On the Vita case however, you contradicted yourself because you used piracy as an excuse and yet Vita hasn’t been hacked YET so players WOULD NOT be able to pirate Vita games. Now,”they know the ps Vita will get hacked sooner or later so why would they even try.” This doesn’t make any sense at all because ALL CONSOLES GETS HACKED in the long run. If that’s true, they wouldn’t make any games at all because they will be too afraid that the platform they’re going to release their games on will EVENTUALLY get hacked XD
Edit : I think the right reason you are looking for is because Vita doesn’t have the right install base because the Japanese have moved to tablet and phone gaming
I said day 1 since the very 1st post idk what you are talking about .
Said more than 5 time in this whole thread .
I don’t want SE to port FF XV on PC day one or makes people think the PC version will come sooner than what we expected .
Why would people buy the game on PC/PS4 if they can hack it ? I am talking about normal people not fans .
Why would i care if they release a PC version 2/3 years after lol ?
“SE has no fanbase on PC”
tomb raider sold 8.5million copies. 3m of the were on PC, 5.5m rest on 4 other consoles. yep they have no fanbase on PC at all. cry more
Those are SE west , SE edios , those people aren’t the same who are bying Jrpgs .
PC hackers. lol
You don’t lose copies to pirates. The pirates don’t buy anything. You don’t shoot yourself in the foot by depriving pirates of content, but then also depriving potential MILLIONS of legitimate sales. Pirated does not equal lost sales.
So now the pirates are people who had 0% of chance to buy the game ? How far PC-gamers will go to say PC is best .
You really think they won’t loose money ?
That’s quite funny , i was sure all thier games were on consoles and FF XV was meant to sell some consoles .
They can afford to sell it day 1 (and they surly won’t ) .
You can be sure i’ll buy a powerfull PC when FF XV is on PC .
If Square is selling games on PC it’s because THEY WANT MONEY. They’ve crunched the numbers and know that PC gaming is growing and has been growing for years.
Exclusivity is on the way out. Unless a company funds the development of a game, providing a studio its funding directly, there’s no way that a developer wants to gamble the success of their game by confining it to a single platform.
I am ok with the game comming on PC 2 years after the consoles release , but here is sounds like a day 1 or a year 1 release .
That kind of stuff will lower the sales of FF XV and SE exclusive console games .
yeah i mean who’d sell an RPG, on PC no less.
Next thing you know the industry might get crazy ideas and start selling FPS’s and RTS’s
SE already makes pc and console games, why would they only now get the chance to see their own sales figures?
FF XIII and XIII-2 sales were awful , unless FF XV sells 2-3 M on PC it will never be worth it since it hurts the console sales .
For FF Type-0 HD the pc version is good but for FF XV it is not .
Source?
Do i even need to source it , those games never went in the 1st page of steam if i remenber well . 100 k sold would surpise me , even 50 k i think .
FF XIII sold 340,633 ± 15,431 copies, while FF XIII-2 sold 157,765 ± 10,505 copies.
Source:
http://steamspy.com/app/292120
http://steamspy.com/app/292140
Well of course you need to source it, how else would you know that they sold awfully?
Also FF XIII has been the third best selling game on Steam when it came out. I don’t know about XIII-2 though. Also if Final Fantasy’s sell so bad on Steam then why does S-E keep porting them? Obviously they sell well enough to warrant a PC version.
Yeah to warrant a PC version 3 years after and i am ok with that .
I fear the year 1/day 1 PC version .
The thing is they’ll make more money on a day1 release than on a 3 years late release.
But I know what you mean with the piracy stuff, though I doubt it would be a big problem, I mean Square almost always releases their game day1 on consoles and PC’s (I’m talking about their western franchises like Thief, Deus Ex etc).
Day 1 FF XV PC is bad for 4 reasons :
1. FF XV is aiming to widden the fanbase ( wich means selling more to the strangers ) , if you are someone who never played a Final Fantasy why would you buy it when you can hack it ? Same for those who don’t give a*** about suporting SE .
2. The PC version will surly be superrior to the console version = less consoles sold = less SE games sold . They often say how FF XV should build them a big user base on new gen for all thier new titles .
3. Those who buy Hitman and Tomb Raider aren’t those who will buy FF XV . SE can only count on those who bought FF XIII PC and those kind of JRPGs .
Anyway even RockStar didn’t do a day 1 PC version for GTA , it says everything .
1. This could be said about many games. For example The Witcher 3 is quite a bit different than its predecessors, yet CDPR released it day1 on all platforms.
2. While that’s (hopefully) true, S-E could simply release the PC version a month or so later. It’s the best out of both worlds. Plus piracy isn’t exactly as bad as you might think, this here is a nice read: http://bgr.com/2013/04/01/hbo-online-piracy-analysis-408449/
Also most people who pirate come from poor countries and couldn’t possibly afford the game anyway, so a pirated copy isn’t necessarily a lost sale. Another good example is Fifa. Fifa 14 was pirated quite alot and Fifa 15 had a new security system that made it impossible to crack for almost half a year, yet the game sold almost as much as Fifa 14, which was pirated to death.
3. While that’s true, it doesn’t change anything, or does it? I mean are you saying that JRPG player are more prone to pirating games than action game players? I’m not sure how that makes sense.
Also FF XV is quite a bit different than XIII, just like you said, SquareEnix is trying to widening their target audience and since FF XV is more of a hack and slash/action JRPG it’s actually more likely that the Hitman/Tomb Raider crowd would get interested.
Yes, Rockstar didn’t do a PC version day1, but I don’t see how it says everything. Rockstar is only a single company. Plus they are owned by 2k, who’s just announced XCOM 2, which is PC exclusive.
If piracy was such a huge concern then I doubt they’d make a AAA game exclusively for PC.
I see where you’re coming from and I hope the best for Square Enix and Final Fantasy XV. They have just officially announced Type-0 HD for PC, so I guess it’s pretty much certain that XV will come as well.
If pc versions harmed console sale, why would pc versions be industry wide, the industry likes money, console and pc’s have been around for many years now, the companies know how to make money.
SE east has no fanbase on PC , the psp has already proven them how hacking is deadly (FF Dissidia) .
You seriously expect a 5 year old, dated, and already known as mediocre game to sell well on Steam super fast? That’s like expecting re-releases to sell millions of copies, when 90% barely break the 1 million barrier.
You don’t release a sh**ty port of a sh**ty game expecting the consumers to just eat it up. If they want actual good sales for Final Fantasy on PC, first they should release it around the same time the console release, and not make a crappy port.
Dark Souls 2 was released about a week after the console release, and it sold really damn well, partially due to it actually working properly this time. It did so well, in fact, that Bandai Namco released Scholar of the First sin on PCs first, and consoles later.
If Square wants Final Fantasy to do well on Steam, they should stop beating around the bush and just release the damn games normally, that’ll get them nice sales, because nobody wants a game that’s too old, especially one that’s already confirmed sh*t, like Final Fantasy XIII and its sequels, and has poor optimization, with modding needed to fix the game.
PC gamers don’t buy sh*t ports of console games. Console gamers have low standards so they’ll buy anything you give them.
Wrong.
125 million steam gamers
23 million Paperweight Station Poor casuals.
PC will always sell more and sell for longer :^)
i saw your mother sucking people’s d**k in the alley, this is how she bought a PS4 for you
Wtf ??? You need to get a life or marry your PC i think .
Your PS4 lose more and more exclusives, deal with it.
I don’t give a **** about exclusives , i am talking about sales canibalism .
Then start make some petition like you Sony fanboys did when FF XIII no longer PS3 exclusive. Maybe this time you’ll get lucky… maybe.
meh
how is the gameplay of this one? Is more like western rpg like Witcher 3 and dragon age or is it more like kingdom hears and Last remnants? I havent play any JRPG except kingdom hearts and a littble bit of last remnant.
Do i need to play any of the previous FF games to understand the story or it dosent matter?
No you don’t , every FF is unique in almost everyway unless they are sequels ( FF X-2 or FF XIII-2 ) .
The gameplay of FF Type-0 is ARPG .
final fantasy sucks!
i only play battlefield, arma, squad, project reality
“Let’s show the power of our mighty laptops with a psp game”
Can’t argue with their logic.
They can’t exactly show Witcher 3 melting their laptops on ultra settings.
MUHAHAHAH MY core i5 2500k ,3,3ghz GIGABYTE GTX 970 G1 GAMING 12 GB DDR 16 MHZ in other words a pc with a high end 2014 gpu and a 4 years cpu and ram runs witcher 3 perfectly max settings 1080p and their new high end laptops that have the most powrful cpius andgpus can not run witcher 3 perfectly!!! And msi is trying to convice stupid people that laptop are good foe gaming!!
Witcher 3 uses “more” of the gpu (atleast in nvidia) which causes higher tdps. Your G1 gaming has a TDP of 250W for a gtx970 which is insanely high to begin with. You won’t run into any ‘black screen’ or such issues caused by very high tdp. More over the 3 fan cooler is finally going to do its job keeping the gpu cool. With 85% tdp of a 970 I stay at 64c while playing, 85% tdp of g1 gaming is like 120% of Strix model lol.
He has a gaming laptop….. for about 6 months. After that, it is a toaster.
Square must be loving PC gaming. This is another title in a growing library of games they’re putting on PC.
Forget about Final Fantasy. Xcom 2 is announced and it’s PC only. Look at articles on IGN and Loltaku, lol… One one hand IGN users are crying on other hand Loltaku guy is acting like a 12 years old kid. PC gamers are happy that we’ll finally have proper Xcom game not Consolized like the last one.
Console gamers are just funny
Sony fanboys is the worst one. They are whining when certain games like XCom 2 or Tomb Raider not coming to their consoles. But when Bloodborne and SF V only available on Sony console, they praise Sony because the exclusivity.
I’m more stoked if they were to announce FFXV though.
“Because the screen is small, you can play most games on ultra or tweaked ultra.”
That’s the topic of this discussion and it’s FUNDAMENTALLY WRONG, you fuc*ing idiot. You know the answer yourself and yet you contradict yourself too much so you can cater to your stupidity. The price DOESN’T FUC*ING MATTER —__—
There is a comment under pending, hopefully it won’t show up but in-case it does please overlook it. Anyway, I got it, yes if you only look at that sentence then yes what I said is wrong. Well my point was, average or general gaming laptops have low res screens with a graphic card which is better than the one required for it. And the price statement was to your comment on gaming laptops, gaming laptops are pretty damn pricey if you want to play modern games well like a desktop.
You can’t be serious , reallly .
I wasn’t.
On PSP 500mb on PC 35gb. just wait.
That’s what you’re trying to tell ? SERIOUSLY !?
“Smaller screen=lower resolution=greater performance”
“Because the screen is small, you can play most games on ultra or tweaked ultra.”
These ? meant that ? WOW! You’re words have VERY DIFFERENT meanings, huh ? —__—
Go back to grade school, son.You can’t even comprehend your own words. You need more skill points for your reading comprehension skills. It’s either that or you’re contradicting yourself so you will not look stupid because you were making an as$ of yourself.
Got it, I am on my way to grade school right now.
AAA RPG?
STEAM dayONE 4k FTW!
When exaxtly is the MSI booth? I checked Computex site but it dosent say abou msi which day it will be. So we can now about when pc annoucemnt will happen.
3. I meant : the wider is your fanbase on PC the less you get hacked (for instance TW3 has a really big PC fanbase ) .
PC day 1 will hurt the sales , maybe not as much as i think but it will .
They should do just like GTA V , PC release 1 year later , GTA V sold extremly well on consoles and the PC version sold 2 M i think .
When i see all those people (not on this site) saying they don’t need to buy a console or even the game anymore , it worried me a lot .
SE needs a wider fanbase on consoles and the PC release will definitivly hurt those sales .
If we only take FF XV into account it could be ok ( only 1-2 M copies lost or maybe even nothing (lol) ) but for all the futur SE games they still loose potential clients .
Final Fantasy games are consoles sellers ( FF XIII sold 550 k ps3 in Japan fof instance ) , we can agree that a PC day/month (maybe year ) 1 release would hurt those sales thus lowering SE userbase .
Those who buy a ps4 for FF XV are those who will surly buyFF Type-1 or FF Dissidia .
