VGC’s Jordan Middler recent commented on ResetERA about Square Enix’s plans for Final Fantasy . According to Middler, most of the games that Square Enix publishes will make their way to Xbox, but it’s doubtful that Final Fantasy games will beyond the upcoming Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin . “Sony wants PS to be the home of FF this gen,” Middler said. Middler also pointed out that Final Fantasy 7 Remake was already supposed to be on Xbox, but that has yet to happen.
It’s this the same news of some days ago? Anyway, nothing new under the sun, I still don’t get why because XIII and XV didn’t underperform, but there’s also the XIV ongoing charade (since a full decade), it’s clear MS-SE are not alligned much, also no big news.
Nothing happened with xbox. Sony just knows that FF is a draw particularly with 14 and 7R being big and they wanna keep it that way after losing stuff like Kingdom Hearts and such and they will pay Square for it cause its an easy ROI.
So it’s not like Sony acquired SE or bought the FF license but they’ll get the games exclusive anyway, well except that it’s on Steam too. Such bullshit.
So basically Sony just did everything they can to keep it off Xbox, lol.
Even as a JRPG fanatic I just don’t care. It seems like mainline FF games for the past long time are stinkers more often than not. Even most people call Lost Odyssey “the real FFXIII”.
My expectations for FFXVI are only mid… I expect it to come out half-baked and then need years of updates and DLC to make it proper-ish like FFXV.
I can agree with the fact that not having FF hurts building a JRPG fanbase on this platform though, which can make it more difficult to get other JRPGs.
Not every souls game is guaranteed success and neither are Team Ninja games, I don’t get your point, the reception has not been good overall. Souls are very overrated these days.
