I'm also very hopeful that the ChronoTrigger and Seiken Densetsu series will come to Steam. Since a new remake of Seiken Densetsu for iOS and Android came out a few weeks ago, there is hope that the Final Fantasy side story will get a new life on new platforms.
Hopefully that won't be just a port though. I can't remember the name but they had a turn based 40k game that was supposed to be akin to FF Tactics but it fell horribly short as it was the same game they put on iOS. Made it very basic unfortunately.
I didn't know that Square Enix had any association with the WH40K people.
Didnt they do Dawn of War 2? I know THQ did the first one...2nd one was terrible compared to first - 1st was AoE-style RTS with buildings etc, 2nd was turn based combat...
The original Dawn of War was an amazing copy cat. It didn't do anything revolutionary but it did everything it copied very well. Dawn of War 2... well it didn't fit my tastes. DoW2 was a tactical, squad based RTS similar to Company of Heroes, which was also made by THQ, and I know a lot of people who loved it. I just couldn't get into it.

Yeah, exactly how I felt - DoW + expansions was AoE in the W40K universe and it just worked so well! Was really excited for DoW2, bought it, played it twice and haven't touched it again...such a let down

Just introduced my girls to Final Fantasy III. They are loving it.
-
Spent yesterday with my girls all day. First we played nearly all the way through Dear Esther. Then we played something like ten hours of Final Fantasy III, which is their first real time playing a JRPG. Then an hour or two on Puzzler World, a few minutes of Puzzle Agent and then wrapped up with a few hours of Robin's Quest. Serious "camp out in the game room and snuggle as a family" day for me and the kids.

In case anyone hasn't seen/realised - there's a MASSIVE Eidos Anthology sale on Steam at the moment, 34 Games, plus all DLC for £23.99 (not sure what it'll be in USD)

It's a sub-section of the Square-Enix Publisher sale which is HUGEMONGOUS. Tons of stuff on sale from Japan.

Which Final Fantasy 2? The Japanese version or the American Version (which is actually Final Fantasy 4 if you go by the Japanese numbering, lol).
I just realized, you know, because I grew up on the border and our nearest big city was Canadian, not American, I was not affected by weird US rebranding the way that people from farther from the border would have been. We were seeing five FF games on the market by 1992. So there wasn't a sudden surprise when they were released to the US much later.

Played through Robin's Quest today, did a little Puzzle Agent with the whole family and now the wife and I are playing Lost Horizons.
-
Played a fair bit of CS:GO yesterday, a few ranked matches (won 2, drew 1, lost 0) and tried a few co-ops with friends - some maps are mental crazy!
-
Playing Stardew Valley. Fun game similar to Harvest Moon.

@Jaguar has been playing that, too.
I'm looking forward to it, but am waiting for it to be on sale.

Loving Lost Horizon.

I drive as Billy Hatcher in Sonic and Sega All Star Racing. This is my best race ever. Shut out five of the drives. That was my four year old that came in third.
-
Played 15 minutes of Lego Marvel Superheroes last night. Not bad, comical and simplistic game play.
