What I meant was that Falcom fans on PC had to deal with it and lose their games for people to play them on PSP in the first place. : \

That's because of the PC situation in Japan. As much as the PC could've been popular worldwide, Falcom would've bankrupted by now if they kept doing only PC gaming.

Maybe, but computer visual novels do well enough... so, maybe they would have been alright.

Except when it's not a visual novel, and it's an RPG instead.

You won't be able to play SC if it releases on Steam because of your computer, right Shiz?

I hope it doesn't come on PC just for you. :(

Well, it has the possibility of running as people told me that even a toaster could run it, but there's also the possibility of not running it... Thank you. :cry:

@Shiz: So much conjecture there.

Visual novels are essentially RPGs. That aside, my point was that PC gaming is not completely dead in Japan.

It's not completely dead, but if Falcom played all its cards on the PC, they wouldn't be here right now. Better yet, you wouldn't be able to enjoy Zero no Kiseki or Ao no Kiseki... If you speak japanese, that is.

Visual novels are visual novels.

They are novels with visual elements.

RPGs can have visual novel elements in their cutscenes.

RPGs have combat, visual novels don't.
