Jez Corden suggests final Fantasy 7 Remake and Final Fantasy 16 might be coming to Xbox afterall
- Thread starter John Elden Ring
- Start date
Feels like he says this just to keep Xbox name alive w FF & other Square Enix games. After vision of mana bombing on Xbox I don’t know why SE puts jrpgs on Xbox, unless there’s a massive bag like the one Sega gets for a Gamepass release Xbox gamers don’t buy japanese games
Why are you targeting us with this shit? Ask yourself why this topic keeps coming up.
They are the ones feeling abandoned and insecure these games are not on their trashcan.
More sales? LMAO
Get a PS5 if you want to play them, xbot.
You’re saying this in a generation where PS5 got 2 major AAA Final Fantasy games in less than a year. 2! Including a bunch of other 3rd party games exclusives.
It’s in fact that the PS5 is actually continuing business as usual the 3rd party exclusives just like PS1 and PS2.
And for the record……that famous PS2 ad picture of those holiday exclusives, some of them, if not all, were not permanent. Games like Silent Hill 2 went to Xbox only 3 months later. Silent Hill 2 for PS5 has a longer exclusivity period…..Funny that. So Sony is doing better with these deals than they were with PS2. The PS2 was such a dominant console and Xbox irrelevant it didn’t matter that those games got ported to Xbox. Nobody cared or noticed. Just like now nobody cares about Xbox and the crumbs of ports it gets. PS5 is all that matters.
Social media has put the length of PS5 3rd party deal front and center to where it might not seem like a long time. And that’s all people talk about, especially green rats and PC mustards, is how they’re not permanent and will get ported anyway. See FF7 Rebirh 3 months exclusive deal being in the news all the time for example. Back in the PS2 days there was no constant news cycle keeping everybody up to date on everything. So PS2 exclusives really felt exclusive. On top of nobody playing on other consoles anyway. PS2 was the main event. Just like PS5 is now.
The reason people are questioning FF and Square Enix on Xbox is because…..well it’s fucking Xbox. What the hell is the point? These games do not sell on that console. It’s a waste of development time. Development time that can be put into your main selling platform. PS5. MS is only chasing after these games because they’re associated with PlayStation. They tried the same thing with Sega with Persona and Yakuza games and they’re failing. They sell nothing on Xbox and only the REAL FANS of Altus games suffer because of MS desperate tactics to associate Altus with Xbox now. Even Altus sufferers because of this.
Square Enix should continue to focus on the company, console, and fans that helped them when they almost went bankrupt and is where is the majority of their profits come from.
Fuck Xbox.

Just trying to understand that's all. There's a pattern with a subset of the Sony fanbase since the PS1/PS2 days. This idea that third parties have to pledge allegiance to the brand. And that releasing a game on other platforms, even after its release on PS is considered high treason. For examples, look at the meltdowns when DMC4 and FFXIII were announced for the 360, among many others. Its part of their identity but not sure why.
Pretty cringe if you ask me. Its not that the game is taken from your platform of choice once its ported. Yeah, you lose ammo for the war but once you are past 12 that does not matter.

1mil in sales is not nothing, which is what FF has moved in the past on Xbox.
Square Enix is having a moment with FF right now for sure, but one is a remake of their most lauded game and the other broadened its appeal by becoming action based. That’s not credit I give to Sony. I’d expect Xbox sales of the games to be slightly higher than previous entries for those reasons as well.
I disagree heavily. The vast majority of the audience for FF on Xbox has moved on, either to PC or PlayStation. You can see this in the sales numbers for every recent jrpg release and stuff like FF7 crisis core reunion which didn't even make the sales charts on Xbox. Compounded with the fact that gamepass has destroyed the market for retail releases on that console, I very heavily doubt that any FF port will even cross half a mil. I'd bet 2-300k and that's lifetime, I don't even think itll break even financially.
You know porting cost money and manpower right? It’s not free. That 1M sales, which I doubt, is actually indeed nothing since that amount won’t bring in any money for Square Enix. It cancels itself out. Basically a pointless port.
Neither FF games will sell 1M on Xbox. XB audience relies on gamepass. They don’t buy games. Much less JRPG.
Of course Sony deserve some credit for FF7 and FF16. They helped with development and marketing. Provided a successful console to sell the games on. Where else would FF16 sell 3M in a couple days? Not on PC or Xbox.

People will absolutely buy GamePass to play Rebirth and 16, are you kidding?
Dont berieve in Jizz Condom....
Eventually FFXVI will have the gamepass treatment, nothing more.
Remake Trilogy is another story.

I can see it now...
Forspoken will finally get a redemption arc. It's just a coincidence it's now on Xbox.
Youtubers "Forspoken: Were gamers too hard on the underrated gem?"
It is actually solid 7/10 game.
Just that media and shills made it look like it is 3/10 game.
Considering Capcom are getting reimbursed to port to Xbox, any respectable publisher should at least push for the same. Free money and at worst break even.
Do you not understand the point being made? That’s just it. XB owners do not buy games, they wait for it to go to gamepass.
That would make FF7 and FF16 sales even worse. It won’t sell anywhere near 1M copies.
This. I doubt it’d even chart in the top 10 the month it released on Xbox in the states and every where else it’d be in the hundreds to 4 digit thousands.
A few will, but not as many as you assume. The vast majority of people who want to play those games already have. For many different reasons, FF as a series just doesn't have the same popularity it had 20+ years ago..
