Many people here dismiss this concern because they are from US, they can’t understand the issue.

IDK why a huge multi billion publisher needs to be milked to port any game, while independent devs can do it, come on. IMO Phil during the livestream sent a message listing SE as the last japanese publisher supporting the platform.

You could also say why does a big trillion dollar company need to put MTX in their games like Halo when they already have loads of money!
Well it certainly doesn’t have the same amount of budget as the mainline game. Looks more like mobile game.
If Sony did not moneyhat that game we can safely say it is not that great 
Agree

Terrible comparison, a f2p game without mtxs does not exist.
its all for profits, businesses are trying to make alot of money, its just how it is. MTX is just as important to microsoft as it is important for Square to get a big lump sum of cash for exclusivity. Actually, MTX earns microsoft much more probably

I wasn’t speaking about moneyhats, but SE skipping Xbox for ANY game outside the western ones. Then accepting checks years later for some scattershot ports. This is a terrible cycle which keeps repeating.

I feel they did the math on their projections for sales, xbox is becoming more prevalent in Japan. They probably won’t avoid it as much in the future.

My comparison was more along the line does MS really need to make money off their games because they’re a trillion dollar company they don’t need more money, which is essentially what you’re saying about Square being a billion dollar company and they don’t need money from exclusive deals.
I literally just posted a game that is launching day one on Xbox alongside PlayStation lol
They are waiting for the sweet Game Pass money bag. Why do they need an incentive to port those games over ? SE can grow their fanbase on Xbox by releasing those games day one, and not by waiting for a Microsoft approach.

One among how many? Lol
I feel you are underestimating the issue, I think Xbox should choose two paths: milking SE to enforce a parity of releases or avoiding them outside games which automatically come because of the audience (the Eidos ones), this subpar relationship as it is it’s clearly underwhelming, I won’t buy any more a SE eastern game considering they ratioed me as a second rate customer (I literally wasted money for several FFs, lol).
Again they run the numbers and make the decisions, I can say they are making a mistake by not porting the games but only time will tell if they change their stance.
What numbers did Spike Chunsoft run to port AI The Somnium Files? Come on, this narrative is so old that doesn’t convince anyone, lol.
But that’s not what you said, you said this after I legit just posted a game coming day 1.
but SE skipping Xbox for ANY game outside the western ones.
I’m not sure what you mean by milk SE, that means to take from SE? Xbox isn’t in the position where they’re the ones making demands, they literally can’t force SE to release their games on their platform that’s not how that works. If MS says to SE fine we’re not going to help you with XYZ, how is that going to help and would make the whole situation worse. The only thing MS can do is make SE feel like they’re missing out on a big platform and a lot of cash.
You want SE games on Xbox you need to buy every single one of them and play them to 100% completion, I know that’s a shitty thing to say and it’s stupid you have to do that to just have your console support but the more people who play and buy their games on Xbox the higher chance you get more, unless Sony just continues to pile the cash on.
so what’s your narrative then, Square is against Xbox ?
Speaking of Square Enix…
“CHAOS!!!” is back guys in a new gameplay trailer
SoP: Final Fantasy is gonna be so trash.
I’m so excited to give them $60 Day 1 for it.
Support Japanese Devs on Xbox.

Milk = pay for the ports, but not years later or cut the relationship, they did with some publisher, like Level 5 and the world kept spinning. At least then we’d know the games won’t come without the constant wait/doubt. And no, I’m done spending money for scum publishers.
It’s certain they are not supporting outside scattershot ports after hefty payments, it’s not a healty relationship.
