Same thing that happened with Sega. It's not going to happen over night. Remember when Persona was exclusive? Remember how it's now day one on GP and even gets better versions and earlier on Xbox? Remember how Phil was openly and publicly discussing things with Square Enix CEO and remember how none of Sony's executives was there?
Sony's not gonna lose access to FF but it might end in the same situation as Persona or Yakuza.
This sort of denial is something you'd get on an xbox reddit. This isn't just blabbing, it's a discernible pattern with Sony's Japanese partnerships.
What happened with Sega is that Sega decided a few years ago that as one of they key mid term strategies they had to focus more in multiplatform releases, worldwide releases, more and better localization and include more games in game subs to increase their revenues.
As a result of that, new entries for some series that were exclusive stopped being exclusive, GP got some games, PS+ got some games and Nintendo's game sub got some games.
As a side result of that some series like Persona or Yakuza are now also available in PC.
It has nothing to do with Sony or MS, and a very different case of SE.
Atlus, Yakuza and Persona are marketed as Xbox exclusive now. Yeah they are still on PS but it's not the same anymore.
They can't be marketed as Xbox exclusives, they are multiplatform games.
You know what's likely? A Forspoken port and FF14 this year on msboxes, because ms no longer blocks the release of that game.
What blocks the release on Xbox of these and other games are (who knows if temporal in consoles or not, may depend on the case) exclusivity deals with Sony, not MS.
MS would love to see these games being released on their console, but won't get them unless their exclusivity deal with Sony is temporal in consoles. And in that case they'll have to wait for that period to expire.
