 The Final Fantasy franchise still lords it over the entire role-playing game (RPG) genre for consoles, and fans are still clamoring for a PC version.

Due to the persistent public demand, Hajime Tabata, the co-director of the franchise’s latest adaptation Final Fantasy XV, addressed these concerns, according to a report from PC Gamer.

Although he did not confirm that the critically acclaimed game would finally have a PC adaptation, the Square Enix executive said that it might take quite sometime if they decide to do so.

“On that hypothesis, not talking about something real, just an idea, something like this would take us more than a year,” Tabata was quoted as saying in the report, which was translated from Japanese.

“We should work to adapt the engine, which is very laborious, and from there to develop its course,” he added.

His statements echoed Square Enix’s earlier remarks that the company was indeed taking a “good, hard look” at bringing the Final Fantasy 15 to PC, after it makes its launch on Playstation 4 and X-Box One.

“This would be an opportunity to release a version far superior in terms of quality and tech, but we have to start from scratch by doing research of what would be the best technology to use,” the company said in a statement last April.
