Square Enix to shift to a multiplatform strategy

[Space Cowboy]

Naw

The rest i agree with though.

And FFXVI isn’t on PC yet

Thanks for the PC correction. If FF continues down the character action genre it is now a franchise dead to me and I won’t continue to purchase. VII Remake is cool because it’s an action and turn based hybrid.

100 percent certain that "diversify strategy" is leaning on the Final Fantast 7 Remake series and future Final Fantasy Remake series because they're supposed to be coming out with a FF9 remake

Wait what? Fr?

 

[Half A $]

Yeah no shyt with the Switch 2 around the corner.... and not really worth Sony locking out xbox anymore since they'll get the lions share of sales regardless between the two.

 

[Phillyrider807]

A remake/rebirth dual pack for switch 2 launch is a system seller honestly.
Put 16 with all dlc as well on switch 2 while u at it.

OK.....

Rebirth is the template they need to go forward with. Its the best compromise between old and new and still has a lot of RPG embedded in it

Haven’t played it. Thought you were fine with XVI style.

FFVII REMAKE was a fantastic compromise that felt both action and turn based at the same time. Love that battle system.

I didn’t mind it aside from being too easy overall but it’s alienating to the core FF fanbase (whatever that is these days). They need to focus on iterating on one thing like they’ve done with FF7. As much as I would love FF to continue being a completely different game ever iteration, the fanbase is fickle. That applies to most AAA gaming in general these days

FFVII REMAKE was a fantastic compromise that felt both action and turn based at the same time. Love that battle system.

Rebirth is an upgraded version of that.

Sony stans sat up here for years trying to justify that bullshyt when it's clear as day that games like Monster Hunter and Elden Ring lapped mainline FF games in sales. Did y'all think those jrpgs had the appeal of Nintendo IP or something?

Embarrassing and hilarious.

 

[Diondon]

Can't wait to see them Xbox sales

 

[Hood Critic]

This would have happened sooner if the hardware (Switch 2) had of already been available.

Development parity is the name of the game now in this generation based on platform development issues we've seen at the beginning of the generation.

Multi platform as in primarily PC and Switch 2. Xbots don’t buy games like that.

If they bought FF15 as much as they should have, woulda got 16.

The breakdown of sales for FF15 were:

80% on PS4
11% on PC
9% on XBO

That’s why they allowed 16 to be exclusive.

Forspoken flopping killed them.

My dumbass was buying on console and again on PC thinking I would play it again at 4k 60fps with mods. shyt never happened

That 9% is a segment base that would have potentially bought the game

Business is all about reaching as many consumers as possible and exclusivity is counterintuitive to that.
