Pretty sure it's PS5 only at launch and coming to PC at a later date.

As far as consoles go it'll probably be PS5 exclusive for the foreseeable future.

It stated "Also coming to PC" only to have it removed in the reupload.

There isn't a single 3rd party game that is exclusive to PS5 that didn't show up on PC day-1, that includes Forspoken. Hard to think Square (and for the most part, Sony) would lock themselves in a single console that is having shortage issues.

PS5 and PC

Similar situation as FF7 remake. Ps5 only for maybe a year or 2(maybe indefinitely if sony buys square) with a pc release after.

I feel as though Buiness Divison 3 knows a lot of their fans, through FFXIV, are on PC. Sony could buy exclusivity rights on Console, but when it comes to PC, it'll probably be Epic Store Front. Maybe not day 1, but eventually.

I have it on steam and switch. It really doesn't matter. I personally am tired of the achievement/trophy stuff and wish that would just stop now. So I tend to stick with Nintendo more

I bought on steam because I use a steam deck

all are fine, and run the same, so do what you feel most comfortable playing that type of game.

Steam. You'll never have to buy them again.

Steam. In case you get a steam deck or any steamos compatible handheld.

Funny, I was talking to an employee at a pet store about this just the other day; I say find a SNES emulator and find a rom of Final Fantasy III. This way you’re getting the classic, somewhat silly translation and look of the original. Or find a GBA emulator instead; that version has a more refined translation, if slightly lesser visuals.

The best edition is the Super Nintendo version

You can buy a SNES Classic for like $80, and it comes preloaded on there. Plus you also get Super Metroid and Zelda: A Link to the Past. Totally worth it.

Snes emulator is very close to the original experience. Enjoy! You're in for a treat!

Also gameboy advance and playstation one on the final fantasy anthology collection.

Both. Really it all depends on your preference and what console you play more. There's no mechanical or visual difference between versions on ps4 and switch aside from trophies that I can tell. I personally have em for both but only because I saw it discounted and decided to double dip.

If you have a pc I would suggest getting it on steam so you can get the moguri mod

Between ps4 and switch I would go for switch. The mobility factor will win it for me.

But besides that? Pc + moguri mod it's the best choice for a casual gamer.

PC + Moguri mod to play at home.
Switch to play when you are away.

Pc for moguri mod. 4k texture.

In no particular order:

Switch- offers portability

PS4- offers trophies

PC- offers achievements and can install some mods

Personally, I did PS4 simply because I played the original on playstation, and I am used to the PS controller for FF games of that era. It also allowed me to get some trophies which added another level to the game that wasn't available for me on PS1. I don't do much undocked switch gaming, so that didn't have any weight for me as I like playing on a TV. Also, I'm not tech savvy and am too lazy and apathetic (read: I don't need 4k graphics for games like this) to bother with PC.

It really comes down to what your preferences are. Either way, it's a fantastic game.

PS5 version likely will play better. Steam has shit controller support. You need to play with it to get it semi decent.
If you don't mind that, you can use mods on the steam version if you really don't want to level grind. Having played the OG more times than I can count, I used mods so I could replay the game a little quicker with out the grind and enjoy the story.

Steam + 7th Heaven, absolutely the best way to play even if you aren't into graphics enhancers (which I have no problem with, make the game look like FFIX in the OW and it's a win)
There are so many mods now, voiceovers, upscaled textures, IX style models, but the one thing I always leave the same is the battle effects (like the auras and fireballs). You can even change the difficulty. Not to mention FFVII was on sale on Steam the other day for like 5 bucks. If you can get it on Switch, that's another good platform just for portability.

There aren't significant differences, as far as I know, if you don't plan to mod your game. If you do, obviously go PC. I'm partial to the Switch version (to play on the go, the smaller handheld screen also helps the game not look as old), but I also enjoy the PS4/PS5 version because they added the Remake reveal trailer to the main menu, so it feels special in a small way 😆

Switch i great, played 9 on it Pc works fine too

Don’t listen to all the pc players. Fuck Mods and Fuck sitting upright for hours to play a Final Fantasy game.

Get it for your PS5. You dont need anything to “enhance” it, except for maybe the X3 speed 👌

You need nothing else

Bro I played every FF but I, II and XIII. All of them are full story's so you don't need to play them in sequence (beside X and XIII that have 2 or more games). 

There's a lot of good FF just to name some III, IV, VI, VII, IX, X, XIV, XV, XVI. FF XI was a MMO for PS3 so you can't play anymore. FF XIV is also a MMO and is one of bests FF imo. 

I think a good start point is FF XV which is a newer game, have one of best FF story's imo, have an active combat engine and has all elements of classical 2D FF games. 

But if you would like to start with the classical one's I say FF IX is a good one to start. A excellent game with a good story, good pace in the turn based engine and nice graphics. 

My personal top 5 games in the franchise are VII, XV, IX, IV and X. 

I hope this help as a guide but to say the truth wherever you start you will be good cause there's no bad FF games. 

Just to finish don't start with FF VII Remake cause it's not a complete game, it's a good remake but the story is too long and Square make it in 3 games with the last one yet to be released. 

Anyway I wish you a GG. 

It depends on what you're after.

Lots of plot, turn based, interesting world, don't mind a lot of reading? Any of 4 - 9.

Beautiful world, interesting plot, turn based, real emotions? 10

Set up an AI to do the fighting for you, and tweak it as you need to? 12

Want something like an interactive movie that won't let you become overpowered, 13

MMO with an amazing story that you can sink hundreds of hours into and barely scratch the surface? 14 (and it's expansions. Free trial is expansive, Yada yada look up the ff14 free trial meme if curious).

Action game with RPG elements? 15 (though you will need to watch the movie, two anime, and four DLCs to get all the story. Oh, and the book for the alternate story.)

Action game with absolutely stunning cinematic cutscenes and amazing Kaiju fights, but light on the RPG aspect? 16.

An expansive series of games (and a movie) with a deep world? 7. Start with the Original, then Crisis Core Reunion. Then Remake. Then Rebirth. And then wait with the rest of us for the last one.

My personal favorites are: 5, 7, 9, 10, 14, and 15.

5 is whacky with a kinda depressing story.

7 is a classic and the game that got me into gaming.

9 is again, cute and whacky and the story is super dark when you think about it.

10 is just an all around amazing game that I replay every year. Every year since 2002.

14 starts off as a bit of a slog, but by the 12 I have felt so many emotions because of that game. Each expansion continues the story and is played in order. Get through the base game and into the first expansion and you'll find yourself immersed in one of the best final fantasy stories.

15 is under rated because of its split media. As long as you get the Royal Edition, you'll get a good experience. Starts off open world, but the last few chapters are one thing after another and quite railroaded. But you can go back to the open world at any point that you can rest.

A lot of people swear by 6, but I personally couldn't get into it. Still worth a play though.

With any game you want that's not a continuation of a previous title. That's most of the games. Alternatively, you can play them starting with Final Fantasy and going through them consecutively according to their numbering.

Do final fantasy 16 Excellent. Easy to follow. Great characters and one of the best stories every told I. A video game

Thanks guys for all the suggestions!! I kind of heard that everybody kind of started with f7 or the remake of it and I think I will go with that too.

Can’t go wrong by starting with vi and working your way up, and skipping 13 (my own subjective opinion…hated 13). Come this September I heavily vouch for playing Final Fantasy Tactics.

Any of them. Ff13 was the beginning of the serie's downfall.

I played all of them except 15. I would say the best one to start with is 10.

They all have completely separate plots and very different gameplay mechanics, so it doesn't really matter which one you start with. 6 and 7 are generally the most well regarded ones, but they're old. If you would rather start with something more modern, 16 and 7 Remake are both very good. And 10 is my personal favorite.

Also voting for 10. Has an amazing ost, loved every one of the playable characters, a lot of memorable scenes.

Absolutely. There's a direct sequel which was a massive disappointment but the story closes very well without needing to play the sequel.

Start with FFVII. Thats my advice. The numbered titles dont share common stories so after 7 you can play 8, or 9, or 10 etc without any trouble.

Why not put the 13 trilogy on sale for the Xbox console 😭😭

Worth noting on the Microsoft Store, Final Fantasy I-VI and IX are only listed as on sale on Xbox Consoles and not PC, but they have Xbox Play Anywhere, so you only buy them once and can play it on either.
