As we already know, Square Enix is currently experimenting with a PC version of Final Fantasy XV. And during this year's GDC, Final Fantasy XV Director Hajime Tabata showcased a tech demo of Final Fantasy XV running on the PC.
The PC that was running this tech demo of Final Fantasy XV was equipped with a single NVIDIA GeForce GTX1080Ti.
Square Enix has collaborated very closely with the Nvidia Game Works team and is currently working on procedural, AI and destruction. As such, the GDC 2017 demo was focused on these three things.
As always, this does not mean that Final Fantasy XV has been confirmed for the PC. However, it's almost certain that a PC version is happening behind closed doors.
I'm playing right now on PS4 Pro, but I can't wait to use a trainer/CheatEngine to play the game as a total monster and destroy everything from Mission 1 to the End.
A PC port was never a question of 'if', what was in question was 'when'. We knew they had to milk the console players first.
I won't be too smug though because the game will likely not have any optimization for PC, but we should be able to overpower it regardless, I just hope it won't take hardware that doesn't yet exist.
Come on, you guys here are smart! This is a technical board! Surely some of you have the capability to understand logic.
"Okay, we made this enormous video game on PS4. Now, not only are we using PC hardware to run the game, we're spending time making improvements to the game that we're now running on PC, like adding complex cat fur that can only be rendered by a PC video card! Gee, I wonder where we will go from here..."

I agree there will be a pc version; I hope it will be a real PC version, with real PC features, we've not seen that in the past from SquareEnix. The ports of the FFXIII, FFXIII-2, and Lightning Returns were the most basic possible ports.
I agree, this is one of the first FF titles since FF 10 that I actually want to play. The storyline seems pretty solid as well and the fight system looks interesting as well.

The battle system is okay, but in reality it's broken if you want it to be broken; there are a lot of easy ways to exploit the system and kill mobs earlier on in the game that you shouldn't be able to kill.

Interesting that Nvidia managed to seal a deal with them. Being a console title I would have thought it would be easier / better to collaborate with AMD.
I've been thinking about the games I've missed being a PC gamer in the past few years: Destiny, Gear of War (After the first), Horizon Zero Dawn, FF15, Nioh, Kingdom's Hearths just off the top of my head.
Still, no matter how much love I have for some of these titles I refuse as a consumer to give financial support to the worst part of the gaming industry by buying a console. Why in God's name do we still have consoles in 2017? All Ps games were exclusive in the beginning, consoles made sense. Now? Crappy third-rate computer with subpar performance even with exclusive titles.

Isn't that part of the quintessential JRPG/Final Fantasy experience? I remember farming up and exploiting the crap out of characters, ploughing through 1/3rd of the game easily and then having another difficulty spike where I'd have to exploit again to beat X boss before proceeding.

If you want a balanced combat system though the pseudo-hack&slash style of FFXV is impossible; you tip the scales one way and the game is too hard and very few people want to play, you tip the scales the other way and it's very easy, like right now, but very accessible to new customers, which is what SquareEnix wanted (not sure if the sales numbers live up to it, though).
I thought the original FFXIII had a pretty balanced system, but that took a lot of criticism as well. I think as a genre the JRPG is in the process of reinventing itself, I just hope it survives, because easy or hard or balanced I am a big fan of JRPGs.

Six million copies have been shipped. Not sure how many of these were actually sold, varying reports hover around 5 mill sold worldwide when including digital sales. So yeah, the series is definitely not dead by any means.
I love your theory. I'm currently at a big corporation trying to get a firewall request opened up so I can send data over the network...
Please let me know how I can hack things because my project has been held up for a month and I REALLY want to get files over to my server sooner rather than later.
I'm really struggling and I even have a ticket in with corporate IT to facilitate this AND I know all the IPs and I have physical access to a machine.
