Having skimmed this thread and only reading half the pages I suddenly have a strong desire for Final Fantasy XIII to tank and XIV to tank and there to never be another FF game like this ever released and that Square goes back to the drawing board and releases a FFXV game with a reasonable budget and no FMV cutscenes.

Alternatively if the above doesn't happen, a PC release so I can buy it for the express purpose of showing off my 8x MSAA 1920/1080 shots and going nya nya nya nya.

Well there is a PC version of the game that's sitting on a bunch of harddrives at Square Enix.  Probably have better assets too, if those before and after comparison shots are valid.

I wonder if they'd release it? I mean they're trying to sell FFXIV on the PC platform too. I just want to show off and say 'definatively on PC' or something like that. No reason other than to laugh at the people who are taking this all too seriously. I love I.Q. but I don't mind a lower rendering resolution, 576 is about as bad as 720 in that I try to turn off to the scaling artifacts and focus on the game itself. If its not the best then I try to ignore the little things or I would never enjoy any console game, like for example Uncharted 2. I put my analysis hat on for the first half of the game but I just ended up going @#$% about the aliasing @ 1280 by 1080 resolution.

Your guess is as good as anyone's.  If I'm right they spent a lot of time making that PC version only to have them spend a year porting it back to the PS3 and half a year porting it to the 360, so having a fully developed game sitting on a bunch of harddrives just for porting purposes is a waste.  Though, I guess it depends what deal is in place between Sony, Square and Microsoft.  Though in the current state of gaming I doubt Microsoft or Sony wants a PC version released; especially after all the fiascos going around with this game.  Wait a year and then that "someone" will feel they can make money off of the PC version, is what I say.
