If the entire Final Fantasy series was added to GOG (1-13, minus 11 and 14), would you buy them without question, consider it, or hold off?

Personally, I'd buy them without question. It doesn't seem to be the most likely of series, but here are the reasons why I'm make this post:

Square Enix recently re-released the original PC releases of Final Fantasy 7 and soon Final Fantasy 8. you can download them directly on their website.

Furthermore, it's rumored due to a poster of the latest Final Fantasy XIII: Lightning Returns coming out next February, that it might be for PC as well, which could, if it's true, have something to do with it's delay.

Furthermore, Square Enix titles are on GOG, so there is an agreement with the company.

And lastly, seeing Square Enix is said to be hurting in sales according to the charts, it would make sound sense to port some of their older classics to the PC, as it would open up a broader audience to people who might not have any of the hard copies or a handheld console.

If you can buy them on most every other platform (including tablets), why not GOG?

And personally, I feel it would bring a good diversity to my RPG collection here, instead of just western prespective RPG's. I love variety in any of my game collections!

...kupo...
I probably wouldn't buy it right away, but i would eventually
Sony already said that the 13 to PC rumor was false. They also have exclusives with Sqeenix, so we aren't likely to see these games anywhere except on Sony consoles in the future.

But yes, I'd buy the first six. I still play them.

Rumors are stomped quicker than I learn about them. It's still possible though. I'm thinking more of the older titles anyway, which are on many platforms, not just Sony like the newer ones. But XIII was on 360 as well.

The first six in one bundle would make me a very happy person, but I'd even buy them if they were separate in 2 or 3 bundles.

If 4, 5, and 6 came to GOG I would buy them without delay. But 7, eh...I think I'll buy during a sale. Can't really say anything about 3, 8, and 9 since I haven't played them yet. 13? Oh god no, that game was horrid.
I wanna play FF6.
I wouldn't get your hopes up. Squenix's catalog on GOG seems limited to games of Eidos heritage.

Why bundle six games on GOG for $10, when they can release them one at a time for $20+ on consoles?

Which is why we'd probably see them individually, or strike a higher bundle deal with "updated" features or add-ons. But yeah, it's probably unlikely that they will come to GOG, but not impossible.
I would very likely buy 7+8 either at release or during a sale depending on my financial situation, if they ever come here. I wouldn't hold my breath for Square-Enix to do anything like porting 1-6, 9, 10, 12, or 13 to the PC. Just because they put 1-4 on every mobile service there is doesn't mean they care about the PC market for their JRPGs.
Two things to keep in mind:
1) Not all Final Fantasy games are available for the PC. In a matter of fact, I think that only VII and VIII are instantly available.
2) Even assuming they get released, they will be expensive. If Square-Enix sells a single Final Fantasy game for 15-20 bucks on mobiles, I don't see them selling it less here.
Would be nice if it happened. But it won't. Square -- despite being asked to do so repeatedly -- will not release their older FF games on PC in Japan. As such, they won't be released on GOG.
I think I might buy FF6 if it was on sale since I haven't played that one, but even then, it would be just to say I have a legit copy of it, because I would never play that on PC and would end up emulating it on a portable system.
I distinctly remember Eidos, a long long long long long time ago, was going to bring Final Fantasy 5 to the Western market via a PC port that they had finished and were ready to release, but was cancelled at the last minute.

Perhaps GOG can convince somebody there with sway to clean the cobwebs out of the vaults and make it happen?
Get rid of 13 and you've got yourself a deal.
