Fantasian, from Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi, may be on its way to Steam.
A listing for an unknown app (Fantasian Playtest) has been spotted on SteamDB, suggesting a port of the Apple Arcade exclusive could be imminent.
It remains unclear whether it may also appear on other platforms.
At a panel event at the Monaco Anime Game International Conferences 2023 hosted by IGN Japan, Sakaguchi admitted there was demand for a PC port.
«Many people ask for a PC port, and I also hear demand for a sequel,» he said. «Fantasian is a title I hope more people will get to see for themselves in the future.»

Fantasian has received a positive reception by those who have played it, but tucked away on Apple Arcade it's been missed by many.
The game was developed by Mistwalker, the studio founded by Sakaguchi in 2006, and also includes music from Nobuo Uematsu — essentially reuniting the old Final Fantasy team.
Its environments are built from real life dioramas, lending the visuals a keen sense of intimacy and detail.
And while its plot is typical amnesiac hero stuff, its turn-based battles are satisfying and the Dimengeon system allows random battles to be banked to explore the world uninterrupted.
Sakaguchi has recently been celebrating the 35th anniversary of the Final Fantasy series, and debunked a myth about the origins of its name.

Any video game series worth its salt has its very own set of plushes for fans to collect, so naturally a series as famous and long-running as Final Fantasy has a lot of them. Pulling from all of its games, Final Fantasy's plush collection is a large one, and those of you who want to buy some might want to pick one game for now and stick to it. However, if you're on the hunt for plushes that embody the entire series, then Square Enix's new Chocobo and Moogle plushes might be for you.
It's been 14 years since the last Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles game, and you'd certainly be forgiven for thinking the series is over and done with, but according to producer Akitoshi Kawazu, that isn't the case.

In 2013 I had the opportunity to fly to Japan and talk to Final Fantasy 14 Game Director Yoshi-P. There was one question I wanted to know – when would Final Fantasy 14 come to the Xbox? It’s a question that I, and every Final Fantasy 14 fan, wouldn’t know the answer to for another decade.
Final Fantasy 14's annual summer event, Moonfire Faire, is ditching its usual fun-in-the-sun theme for a crossover event the beloved Japanese action show Kamen Rider, and fans are divided over whether it's better to get a superhero suit than a bikini.
