Square Enix has announced its intentions to include the PC system for its future Final Fantasy titles.

After the recent success of the Final Fantasy VIII remake released on Steam, Square Enix is considering to develop the future Final Fantasy titles for PC platform as well.
According to Square Enix, since the next-gen consoles are pretty much based on the same architecture as PC, it makes it quite more simple to push the game to the PC platform as well.

Yoshinori Kitase noted that "we had to port it to the consoles. As far as the technology is concerned, it would have been possible for us to make a PC version, but we decided against it for two reasons: we looked at the market situation and we didn't think it would be a good idea, and also it would have involved lots of complex issues like security. So we decided not to do it this time around.

But we see potential in it and there are lots of regions and countries where PC is very strong. So in terms of our hope of being able to deliver our games to every single country in the world and to as many gamers as possible, yes, we would definitely be interested in pursuing that route in the future."

Square Enix is either moving to expand the already massive Final Fantasy fan base or this is just a simple commercial move.
