PC's only?

There's Grandia 2 (not from Square, though)....
can't think of any other RPG console types for the PC.

Can get Dues Ex (DSX), it's a very good RPG, FPS.

If you like Console RPG's, you should get a PS2.
Kingdom Hearts
Xenogears (best PSX RPG ever, in my opinon)
Xenosaga (very good story, little lacking in game play...but the story is so good, well worth it, price just dropped on it, too....not Square)
FF9
FF10
FF10-2 (soon to come)
Star Ocean 2
Star Ocean 3 (soon to come)
FF7 (unedited text)
Vagrant Story
Legend of Dragoon (not Square)
Threads of Fate

ffx2 is for pc i thought.

i think square got the message when people complained how bad the ports to pc were.

FF13 is, for obvious reasons.....I doubt X-2, will be.

Uh, FFX-2 and FFXI are different. There's a benchmark test for FFXI, but there isn't one for FFX-2 that I know of, unless you can provide a link of course.

>i dont think there is a good console to pc game in existance

I beg to differ. Splinter Cell rules on the PC compared to the Console version, the X-box of course was first. The PC versions of GTA3/VC are also excellent ports. MGS and MGS2 were also quite good as far as ports go. MGS only looks dated becuse it was so old to begin with.

>nor are there any good pc to console games out there..

Space Hulk on hte PSX was a good PC-console port. The adventure games like Discworld, Broken Sword 2, etc also work well on the console.

what im saying is, its better to just use emulators instead of ports because you can pull off better graphics and gameplay (most of the time)

and there are good pc to console ports. lets see....
halflife, quake, doom, morrowind, and im missing alot but dont want to post tons of games...

That may be viable on old games like FF7/8, or other PSX games, but on other consoles.....
For instance, and Saturn game will run like a pig even on a AMD 2000+ if it runs at all. The PS2, GC and X-Box aren't even emulated yet....
