Final Fantasy XV Review
This is pretty cool. It makes me hopeful that we’ll get even more PC ports. It’s not my preferred way to play Final Fantasy but it makes the series much more accessible to others and I’d looove to one day see an FF12 remaster make its way to PC because I think the controls would be phenomenal with keyboard/mouse.
I have all these games on PS3 so I don’t think I’ll be playing them on PC (LR is the only one I have left to tackle), but if they go on sale I might pick them up anyway, just to support the direction S-E is taking on this.
