The Final Fantasy franchise’s profitability is weakening and improvements will take time,”

Game is a disastrous flop for the "pedigree" of the director involved (XIV) and how much $$ and free-reign development time, in man hours and just empirical years (4+ year "uncrunched" full development cycle) went into making it. Hell Square already kicked these CBU3 goofballs off of FFXVII because of it, and they were prepared to hand "stewardship" of the whole fukking franchise over to them just a couple months ago.

Companies thinking about taking shameless Sony moneyhats like Square did for this going forward need to take a hard look at how SF6 is crushing the buildings now... compared to the all-time disastrous launch and initial years of SFV when Sony was funding it in exchange for exclusivity. If you don't have the benefit of a teflon license like Spiderman carrying your game it ain't gonna work out for you most likely. Square is bringing this to Xbox next Fall/Winter along with XIV to try and rectify their mistake... but it'll probably be too late at that point if there isn't a "FF XV Royal edition" level makeover/update coming along with it.

Pandemic is over.
Devs are no longer making cross gen games.

It's going to be harder and harder for 3rd party and some first party games to keep down the exclusivity path I they expect to appease shareholders.

Mighty curious to see how Starfield does without the PS base. Game pass about to bless Bethesda.

That dude tweeted out “hope” then deleted the tweet.

But it don’t really matter y’all can argue over the word “hope”

But that drop in stock price was real. That drop in profit is real. Investors not being happy with FF16 performance and the series future profitability prospects is real.

preorder numbers on steam is very good with the game. It's currently in the top 5 sellers list. So, I think sales should be good on PC because PC gamers don't really mess with windows store. I am unsure how good sales will be on console since most xbox gamers are on gamepass, but we've seen gamepass games move decent physical sales.

Wish they'd drop the 13 trilogy on Mobile.

16 seems like a watered down experience content wise. Basically meant to be a campaign only experience.

Yall want this game to fail so bad. Matter of fact someone actually went into the official thread and said he wanted the game to fail cause it’s not on Xbox.
