'Final Fantasy Type-0 HD' to Debut on PC Soon (VIDEO)
Square Enix has announced it will soon be making "Final Fantasy Type-0 HD" available on PC less than three months after it was released on PSP.
The announcement was made during the recent 2015 MSI Computex Gaming Night in Taiwan two days ago, together with information the PC version will give players new graphics options for high-end users, advanced battle and camera controls, and Steam features
While no definite date has yet been released, reports have emerged the game will be headed to PC via Steam. With the Los Angeles E3 in the middle of June, and the Tokyo Game Show following in September, fans may expect the Japanese publisher to release more information during either of the events.
Originally titled "Final Fantasy Agito XIII" and released for PSP and mobile phones, brisk sales and positive reviews led to a companion game iteration, "Final Fantasy Agito" for mobile devices, which was released in Japan in May 2014. Its high-definition port version, "Type-0," saw a worldwide release in March this year.
"Final Fantasy Type-0 HD" became Japan's best selling video game of 2011, and was praised for its powerful story and intense "Final Fantasy" treatment.
With the positive reaction to the game, the publisher has decided to go ahead and offer a PC port to bring JRPG heavy combat action to desktops.
Square Enix has been pushing its "Final Fantasy" series in the last few years, from new games, spinoffs, and mobile versions, attempting to offer a little something of everything for gaming fans, despite having lost followers due to its less-than-impressive "Final Fantasy XIII" games.
However, the release of "Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn" on PC and other consoles mounted a renewed interest in the series, giving "Type-0 HD" a wave to ride on when it finally launches on desktops.
