Quoting: omer666I don't want to be rude, but the best Final Fantasy titles are all playable on emulators. I don't think this one would be worth the money. However, with a big discount, I admit I would be tempted...

I understand is that Anima gameplay remembered me of a FF XV livestream from yesterday that I watched partially. I was just thinking into a scenario that some people may like since as Liam said: "we don't have many good third person action RPG", Square Enix have allowed ports of games from western studios and had released some Final Fantasy games for windows (something unthinkable some time ago) that works with wine. A really good third person rpg would be Witcher 3 but we all know how it went.

Actually I never played any Final Fantasy and had heard that the old games are better than the new ones, plus I am not into anime or Japanese games in general so the chances of end up buying it are slim. But thanks for the tip on the emulators maybe I will try someday if I develop a desire of playing some part of the FF franchise.

Speaking about third person RPGs, if Final Fantasy XV releases for Windows some day, maybe ask Feral to talk with Square Enix to make a port for Mac and Linux.

Thanks for the port, I will probably wait to get the full version of the game, unfortunately the publishers are loving selling a lot of dlc.

Good that is still being updated, maybe I start playing it again, against the AI or even online if I find someone in the lobby or unranked.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyI'm no expert, but it seems to me the general consensus is that DX12 is quite good, very similar to Vulkan, and is in fact a significant improvement over DX11.
While as near as I can make out Windows 10 is worse than Windows 8 in many ways, I can see the argument that it is better from a gaming/game developer perspective.

It is better but at the moment for the gamers, dx12 didn't delivered what it should, performance gains of dx12 versus dx11 in the games that have support for it are marginal in most of the cases, for someone change to Windows 10 just for it at the current state isn't a good enough reason.

Most probably the dx12 game performance isn't stellar due to most engines being dx11 focused and the released games being in production for quite some time, except by ashes of the singularity which is one game that had good gains, especially for AMD GPUs because since the inception of the nitrous engine: low level APIs were considered, at the time mantle.

Sad, out of the wishlist at least for now.

Well the few gaming related things in Win 10 are dx12 (didn't show any major improvement in comparison with dx11 in general) and the xbox app (make the performance worst due to game recording if you don't disable it).

I don't see many gaming improvement in Win 10 actually, plus you have less privacy (especially if you didn't changed the privacy settings) and UWP that isn't good and I don't know if has support for advanced monitor syncing like freesync and gsync (but hey now is possible to play XBOX games :|, a possible way to locking the windows platform and don't have access to the executables), the only thing that has truly improved is the UI that in Win8 had some problems of usability for PC as for the Windows update we all know that is worst now since you can't choose what to update, it just updates and the maximum you can do is postpone to a certain time of the day and sometimes takes a long time to Windows finish the update process.

I really hopes that it releases for Linux in the end, even if as all the other civilizations games takes some years to improve and mature with expansions.

Thanks for the response WorthlessBums.
I feel that what doesn't help the sales numbers partially are situations like mine where I don't have a big budget and have a excess of games, so I started to prioritize games from developers that were bought previously, high review scores (or recommendations) and the AAA releases rather than a lot of indies, which translates to fewer games acquired per year.
