After muchumming and erringwhich I’m sure has nothing to do with any Sony exclusivity agreements, Square Enix have confirmed thatFinal Fantasy 16is, indeed, coming to PC. “We are aware that many of you have been asking for a PC version”, producer Naoki Yoshida said in astatementon the platform formerly known as Twitter. “So allow me to take this opportunity to officially announce that development on a PC version is currently underway.” There’s noFinal Fantasy16 PC release date as yet. Yoshida hopes to be able to share more - together with some insights on the first wodge of Final Fantasy 16 DLC - “before the end of the year”.

Final Fantasy 16, hmm. Wait a minute, I reviewed that on console! That’s the one I got all the death threats about! Let me give you a summary.

Speaking of companions, you don’t get to control them. FF16 does involve gathering a party of allies, but save for issuing Heal Me Doggy and Git ‘Em commands to your pet ice wolf Torgal, you only get to strut about as Clive in battle. Clive’s ability to channel different Eikons for different movesets does create some decent variety, however. It’s just a shame it’s smeared across so many hours of largely A-to-B quest design.
