There has always been a strange division in the world of RPGs between "console-style" and "PC-style" titles. Console-style RPGs tend to be created by Japanese companies and are visually most influenced by the anime model of spiky-haired youths wielding absurdly huge swords. PC-type games, on the other hand, tend to be a more direct descendent of the pseudo-medieval Europe style of classic Dungeons & Dragons designed by Western developers. The result of this is the commonly received wisdom that the one type of RPG doesn't do well on the other platform. A Final Fantasy on a PC? Ridiculous. Like most bits of "conventional wisdom," though, the truth may be very different, and sometimes it takes a company taking a risk to prove it.
