Phew, for a moment there I was worried I wasn't go to be able to run it without a *squints* Pentium 4 2.4 GHz processor.

Man_Marmalade3309d ago

I still have a physical copy of this for PSP lol

WizzroSupreme3309d ago

Wow, that's pretty great. Won've have to upgrade after all!

hkgamer3309d ago

no support for windows xp O_O

Viryu3309d ago

Wow, did they just use an emulator instead of proper porting and optimization? Those are ridicolously high requirements for a small mobile game like that. 2,4ghz and 2GB ram? Riiiiight.

Razputin3309d ago

So you are new to FF PC games from Square?

FF games on PC are almost all just emulated crap ports.

With the exception of XI and XIV, and partially VII/VIII.

Gwiz3309d ago

Well from what i understand is DX10 requires a certain OS,and having that OS with less than 2GB's of RAM will make it a less enjoyable experience.
I still wonder why you need DX10 though?.

Nio-Nai3309d ago (Edited 3309d ago )

Pentium 4 is a single core CPU from 2000. And windows 7/8 both require a minimum of 2GB to even run on 64 bit.

So honestly, this is pretty spot on.

*note*
Why do people think GHz directly translates to performance?

My old FX-8350 was at 5.4GHz, and has half the processing power of my current i7-5820k at 4.5GHz.

Top 10: Worst Final Fantasy Games

Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "The Final Fantasy series is one of gaming’s most revered franchises with many of its games finding themselves near the top of ‘best games of all time’ lists and simply uttering the words ‘Final Fantasy’ usually evokes images of epic quests and world class polish. But not all of the games to bear the name have been worthy of praise. Some, in fact are terrible, unplayable, ugly and obnoxious games that make you wonder how Square Enix ever approved them. So for this week’s Top 10 we’re scraping the bottom of the barrel and counting down the Top 10 Worst Final Fantasy Games."

Addition of FFXIII Lightning Returns and Crystal Bearers make your list redundant.

Though I appreciate the lack of FFX-2.

And I agree with the rest.

DedicatedDark2563d ago

Wait on further thought, the inclusion FFVIII would be nice. Terrible writing, terrible story, terrible gameplay and terrible translation. And therefore a terrible game.

Any Final Fantasy made my SquareEnix. Quick and easy.

SinkingSage2563d ago (Edited 2563d ago )

Since when is After Years or Lightning Returns bad?
This article is garbage, the absolute worst FF, Final Fantasy XIII is nowhere to be seen.

Also, why include a game that doesn't even exist anymore? FFXIV 1.0 is long gone...

overrated442562d ago

Lightning avatar and mad about Lightning Returns being on the list!? https://www.youtube.com/wat...

SinkingSage2561d ago

Heh, yeah, how is LR on the list but not XIII? XIII is pretty bad.

The lack of Ultimecia's Castle is disappointing. That area with its atmosphere, branching paths and secrets along with secret bosses, and not to mention locking out nearly all of your abilities (even saving) makes it one of FF's most intimidating areas....imo of course =p

DarXter2694d ago

The lack of any actual content is more disappointing imo.

Vkviz2695d ago

Ultimecia's castle definitely seems like a glaring omission. I thought that waking up in the Shinra tower to find that Sephiroth had gone on a bloody murder spree was pretty damn creepy the first time I played that section as a kid.

TC7312695d ago

Ultimecia's castle and underwater in FF7.

I mean it's not like you can hit the "submerge" button and accidentally land on Emerald Weapon or anything. lol

jukins2695d ago

I'll always remember in ffxi when "sky" was the end game that was one of the most intense places to navigate a entire alliance through.

Superior to what? I'm confused

Vhampir2704d ago

If you mod FF7 to remove the mouths.

This is just price matching the steam sale. I'm going to wait for the anniversary collection, with the uncensored versions.

FinalFantasyFanatic2703d ago

Make that anniversary collection happen Square-Enix.

Derceto2704d ago

Nice. Another 50% and they would be appropriately priced.

Princess_Pilfer2704d ago

Or, you know, I could just put the disk in my PC. Or just rip the files off the disks and play them from the HDD. Except for 13 and 14 i guess, but 13 is a garbage fire and 14 has a subscription fee so saving a few bucks on the purchase price doesn't really do anything.

-Foxtrot2704d ago

Rather wait for that collection that was rumoured to be announced next month
