    [​IMG]Techraptor reports that Nihon Falcom wants to port all their games to the PC platform:

    "We Want All of Our Games on Steam"
    Earlier this month, TechRaptor had the chance to interview Toshihiro Kondo, the president of Nihon Falcom - the developers of both the Ys and Legend of Heroes series. We've got our full interview coming up soon, but one specific answer to one of our questions stood out from the rest, more or less confirming that the company hopes to release all of their titles on PC, in one way or another, going forward. The translation for Kondo-san's answer was provided by NIS America.

    TechRaptor: It's been said that Ys VIII's PS4 release was made to target the west, though it and a few other "modern" Falcom titles are all receiving PC ports lately. Has Falcom been actively pursuing PC versions for more recent releases in the west?

    Toshihiro Kondo: We have no hesitation about releasing games on Steam. Rather, given that we don't have a large staff, we mainly have to rely [on] partners to help us realize a PC port. When we first started releasing games on Steam, we were initially unsure of whether or not players would want to play our older games. However, as we gradually released games on Steam and saw the very positive reaction that was much greater than we expected, we feel like we want all of our games that come out to [release] on Steam.
