I was about to ask you the same thing. LOL That's the only one I don't see.

Not sure if this has ever been shared here (cant flip through 30 pages), but (I think) this same user rendered Cocoon in 3D on Sketchfab ... It's really something, and Im sad we never have much chance to interact with a map or the world at large.

Whoa, that's excellent. There should have been something like this in-game, just to communicate the sense of place. Cocoon very rarely felt like you were in an inverted sphere, despite some slightly trippier skyboxes at times.Not sure if this has ever been shared here (cant flip through 30 pages), but (I think) this same user rendered Cocoon in 3D on Sketchfab ...

Anyone know of a way to download the Japanese version of the game (with the easy difficulty option) now? I just tried the step I had in the OP that used to work, but it ended up just downloading the western version of the game. Tbh, the Greatest Hits International release doesn't show up at all now on the store. :/
I already had the Japanese version downloaded and just tried launching it and it wouldn't launch citing "Error 0x82D40003 occurs when you launch a game: Sign in with the account that purchased the game or app, or, if it's a trial version that has expired, purchase the game or app from the Microsoft Store."

Just tried on my install and have the same error, well this is a massive bummer.
The saves transfer between both so I haven't lost anything at least. Still lame

Yeah, I guess it has to do with the recent changes that Microsoft made to the store or something. I dunno. It's annoying regardless. I wish SE had just patched the easy mode into the other regions' versions of the game.

Apologies for the bump, but figured this was worth it: this is coming to Game Pass tomorrow (September 2nd) on both Xbox and PC!

Curious to know if the PC version has any updates compared to the original Steam release. Virtuos had their hands on the PC build a while back. Maybe they gave the PC version some much-needed updates. (The FF13Fix mod fixed all the performance issues for me, but having it work well out-of-the-box would be appreciated)

Oh, I forgot about the potential Virtuos build. That would indeed be really nice to have. Will keep an eye on this for sure.

The Game Pass for Console release will just be the existing backwards compatible 360 version that runs at a higher resolution on One X and Series X and has higher-quality FMVs. It won't be a new version.
EDIT: There's definitely been some work done to the Windows Store version, though not sure how much. The launcher is different than the one on Steam (completely different layout, and it also plays The Promise like the title screen). The credits confirm that Virtuos has worked on the game:

My initial notes on the Windows 10 version of FF13:
- It still has a problem with my keyboard (Wooting Two) where I have to unplug it after I get to the main menu, because it keeps registering an "up" input for some reason. I can plug it back in and it's fine afterwards. This is only an issue with my keyboard as far as I know, but this is also the only game this has ever happened to me in, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- The in-game settings menu seems to be the exact same as the Steam version, which is to say, pretty barebones:
- The controller button prompts are still grey instead of being colored like they were in the Xbox console version
- This does retain the optional easy difficulty from the Ultimate Hits International and Steam versions, in case there was any concern about that
- I can't tell if the FMVs are the same as the Steam version or if they've been replaced with the FMVs from the Xbox backwards compatible versions. Someone else will have to take a look at that
- The HUD and menu elements are still the same resolution as the original console releases, so they look pixelated at higher resolutions
- Hair rendering is the same as the Steam version, so it has some minor issues in spots
- I can't really tell if the performance issues have been fixed or not. I haven't tried running vanilla Steam FF13 on my current setup before (I always use FF13Fix), so I don't know if they actually fixed the problems or my current machine can just brute force the game without issue or something. But it seems fine to me?
That's normal, it's been X enhanced quite some time ago.
I have to say though, Blinded by Light is still so fucking lit. Damn.

For sure. The game really holds up well even after... almost twelve years lol. :(
If I just wanted to breeze through this game without any challenges, does the PC version on game pass support mods or cheats of any kind on Game Pass? I played pretty deep into the game (not before it "gets good" though) on the PS3 when it launched, but gave up on it. I recall the game being an little on the higher end of difficulty and I kind of just want to see the story and explore all the environments.
Or is the easy version easy enough to just breeze through the game?

No working mods or cheats I can find. Even on easy the game is a tedious slog.
Back playing this again. Started in 2010 when it launched but never actually completed it. 12 years later, I'm determined to finally finish it. Forgot how much I enjoy this entry, and it looks pretty incredible on series x! Not many games from that era that hold up this well!
That being said, I'm up to chapter 12 and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for which weapons I should be upgrading?
