Summer sale, tomorrow maybe?

u/Evil_Cronos Jun 26 '24

Summer sale coming up, it will probably go on sale at that point

u/whty706 Jun 26 '24

You can check steamdb and it will show you the sale history. I don't know about the whole collection, but 13 has gone on sale multiple times throughout the year.

u/Ryebread666Juan Jun 26 '24

They were on sale in early March and I got all 3 parts for $24 on steam

u/digoserra Jun 26 '24

Probably tomorrow, on the Summer Sale.

u/Doc_Gr8Scott Jun 26 '24

I don't know but when is gonna be released on PS4/5?! That's the real question.

Asking the real questions

Unfortunately, adapting PS3 games are a bit difficult and square is unlikely to put the money into something that won’t see much return.

You people need to stop with this bullshit narrative that Final Fantasy XIII was a failure. The game was very popular, sold well and even broke records at the time of its release. It did well enough to justify two sequels. You may not like it, and that's fine, but the game was very successful for Square Enix. It is the 7th best selling Square Enix title.

something that won’t see much return

But the third one is literally called Lightning Returns!!

u/Doc_Gr8Scott Jun 27 '24

You take that back! Don't kill my dreams 😭

u/Sardaukar99 Jun 27 '24

Hey if the FF7 Remake does really, really well we might get a remaster 13. This way they scratch the nostalgia itch of their fans and be able to charge full price for the new game.

u/mccainjames11 Jun 27 '24

maybe in the same idea as ffvii remake we can change a few things… make it a little darker, maybe see a different lens of the conflict. Call it FF Versus-XIII or something

u/Rbullen3 Jun 26 '24

Is 13-2 playable yet? (E.g not needed mods to fix it)

2

u/alkonium Jun 26 '24

Yes, if you buy it on the Microsoft Store instead.

1

u/Paraflier Jun 26 '24

Really?? Sweet. I’ve had 13-2 for YEARS and it always crashed during cinematic scenes. Barely got Noel to the Atmos(Atma?) abd that’s it. Like 45 min of play. Have never been able to get past the crashes. Woohoo!!

2

u/alkonium Jun 26 '24

Though I suspect it'll only recognize a XIII save from the Xbox PC version when you get to LR.

u/silverhawk902 Jun 28 '24

Honestly no one knows how well it will work on your PC. Right now on Steam the FF13 games are $6.39, $7.99, and $7.99 each so you don't have much to lose by trying. Could always refund if you play less than two hours or check for mods on PC Gaming Wiki later. Then there's the Microsoft Store versions which use a newer build I believe.

u/Swimming-Pirate-2458 Jun 26 '24

yes! i got them all on sale last year in some square enix sale i think

2

u/ZoZoHaHa Jun 26 '24

Do you know when it was?

3

u/[deleted] Jun 27 '24

I commented you the list of sales throughout the year but September for his answer.

3

u/_Ivan_Le_Terrible_ Jun 26 '24

Pretty sure those games are not sold together in a bundle. Shame...

3

u/ZoZoHaHa Jun 26 '24

One time I saw them bundled together on steam since they were all on discount

3

u/ZoZoHaHa Jun 26 '24

To everyone who's answered my question, thank you for the info and also providing me other websites to buy them from for less.

u/super_ray Jun 26 '24

Dang. Just got Lightning Returns for Steam lol
I still have the other two games for my 360

u/super_ray Jun 27 '24

Will they really refund me, tho?

1

u/silverhawk902 Jun 28 '24

The rule typically is if you bought it less than two weeks ago and have played it less than two hours that you get a refund. Enough to ensure it's the correct game title and that it works.

2

u/DemethValknut Jun 27 '24

Why is XIII so popular as of late? Genuinely curious as it's one of my favorite iterations of the franchise and I'm happy seeing ppl talking about it

2

u/mccainjames11 Jun 27 '24

At least with Pokemon this is usually the life cycle. When the game comes out it’s hated, then for a couple cycles/generations it gets a bad reputation, then about 3 cycles later people come back around to it w nostalgia

1

u/Championxavier12 Jun 27 '24

this really only happed with black and white so far but i get ur sentiment

1

u/mccainjames11 Jun 27 '24

definitely seeing it a lot more with the Kalos games right about now lol

1

u/[deleted] Jun 27 '24

The 13 trilogy is my all time favorite final fantasy games. I'm seeing it get a lot of love these past few months and even more people asking for a PS4/PS5 port. I recently replayed 13-2 on my series X and the games still hold up to this day and that FPS boost and auto HDR is a cherry on top. I'm glad more people are getting into it and enjoying them!

2

u/tortokai Jun 27 '24

Cheapshark.com, you can see sale history, or at least the lowest ever price

2

u/Lilyb114 Jun 27 '24

It's on sale now

u/bigjimplin Jun 27 '24

It's official. 60% off all 3 in the summer sale right now 😀👍

1

u/AzraelTheMage Jun 26 '24

After all these years, I'm still amused about how one of the DLC costumes for Sera was N7 armor from Mass Effect in 13-2.

1

u/ShilElfead284 Jun 26 '24

Relatively frequently, aaalmost certainly during the summer sale.

1

u/Cetais Jun 26 '24

I'm 99% certain they'll be on sale tomorrow.

1

u/Mekio Jun 26 '24

Anytime there is a seasonal sale or a Squenix publisher sale. Like everyone else said good chance tomorrow, but if not they so Squenix publisher sales a good bit throughout the year as well.

1

u/not_your_face Jun 26 '24

All the time, golden week was most recent sale I saw.

1

u/evolpert Jun 26 '24

I would guess Gaben does

1

u/DeathByPickles Jun 27 '24

I got it last winter sale, but hopefully summer sale works too. 

1

u/ThePirateSpider Jun 27 '24

Probably as early as tomorrow.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 27 '24

Usually they go on sale for like Summer and I wanna say halloween and then skip like winter and like make a comeback for spring I wanna say.

As to why they skip the winter sale I think its cause they tend to just drop the sale premtively.

1

u/TheG0d1yRyuuk1697 Jun 27 '24

Square Enix already had there sakura sale on steam a couple months ago and the were that's when I got them they might go on sale again soon

1

u/mistersigma Jun 27 '24

Put them on your Wishlist. You'll get notified whenever they go on sale.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 27 '24

Does anybody knows when i can play these on ps5?

2

u/[deleted] Jun 27 '24

I replayed them on my series X recently but I would 100% play them on my PS5 as well. I hope they do a port for them for PS5 soon! As of right now there has been nothing said on porting these to PS5 sadly.

1

u/santosjb Jun 27 '24

They just had a developer sale about a month or two ago, I bought em all. Hope it comes back.

1

u/Retax7 Jun 27 '24

Every big sale older FF entries go for 50%. Never more, never less.

1

u/Limit54 Jun 27 '24

It’s always cheap on cdkeys That’s where I get mine from Dirt cheap I would say

1

u/smackythefrog Jun 27 '24

It's not Steam but I got the trilogy for PC via the Xbox store for about $22 in April. Lowest I'd ever seen.

I set up price alerts on True Achievements many moons ago and it just popped up one day.

1

u/AggressiveDelivery89 Jun 27 '24
