So, I'm guessing Nintendo don't like Final Fantasy VIII either? ![]() | |

![]() It is strange that's it's not being released though (or at least not announced yet). I can't think of any obvious reason why they wouldn't release it. | |

Well, as I mentioned, I'm guessing that the 7-12 games are being brought over using their most recent Windows versions. 8 doesn't have one of those to use, which would explain it. Now, why they wouldn't release it for PC again, I'm not sure. | |

Tl;dr, the source code of FFVIII might be lost and harder to piece together than FFVII (where they definitely lost the source code), or they might just have that much trouble with rights to the vocal version of "Eyes on Me". I personally find the latter harder to believe due to the Steam release though. | |

It's interesting how many games have already had their source code lost. One possibility would be to rebuild it from scratch with a crowdsourced effort helped by fans, but I doubt that Squenix is the kind of outfit that would be willing to go to that trouble. | |

Wanted to give props for not giving in to the temptation to take shots at FF8 in the announcement. It's an easy target but mean-spiritedness is all too common on the internet. | |
