Gene Park, trash tier human and assbag journalist/Xbot walks back his comments about the trilogy being exclusive to PlayStation. Doesn't matter what he says - if the first two are the next one will be. And I'll go one further and say they will never come to Xbox because Xbox won't exist by the time any imagined exclusivity window runs out.

Phil Spencer: Sony takes 30% cut from 3rd party and uses it to cut off Xbox from 3rd party titles.

Also Phil Spencer: Here Sony, here's 30% cut from our games to you so you can use it to cut us off from Final Fantasy.

Just to keep it off Xbox. Mid 2000s ass lame shit. Meanwhile Xbox is like "have some more games."

Xbox needs an audience that buys their games. It's not an altruistic choice.


See that just implies to me that they're worse developers than their competitors who manage multiplat no problem. I know he's just saying what needs to be said though.

Really sucks that people who've been playing FF won't get to play this trilogy outside of PC. :/
Just buy a PS5!

The FTC already said this is an example of competition since Microsoft could also just bid for exclusivity lmao
This is why Twitter is a mistake for anything outside of just normal people who want to share their experiences with others. What does one random individual sharing a post to a judicial authority think is going to happen? The fact that they just embarrassed themselves by sharing posts like this to the FTC, for example, is something that shouldn't even be done. Not to mention, you can easily tell he didn't even bother to read yet, even look for the developers at Square Enix recent interview about their business practices and their commitment to making their games quality in their games. They've stated it in both this and FF XVI that it's not money that's the main factor it's the actual onboard help they receive to meet those goals. If Xbox isn't willing to send engineers over there to help polish/develop games thats on them.

The whole thing is one of the dumbest fucking things Ive ever seen.

No one said anything was permanent exclusive in this article

He just said they "secured exclusivity" doesn't mean "permanent" exclusivity forever.

Just because he didn't specify "timed" in this one instance doesn't mean he's confirming they're exclusive forever

That isn't how English works.

The word "secured" literally just means they obtained/attained/acquired exclusivity

No specification of time.

Why is this so hard to understand? Why is this even being discussed? There's nothing new here, the two games are currently console exclusive, we knew this already by them not being on Xbox.

All the bullshit stems from the clowns in resetera

To understand why some nintendo dudes get all bent out of shape when it comes to the topic of FF exclusivity.

They still hold a grudge for ff7 being a ps1 exclusive back in the 90s.

Not just ff7 but all the subsequent ones that missed nintendo platforms.

That was a big franchise on nintendo then left the platform for years.

Case in point that idiot sugerbetik who use to always come into ff16 threads and troll on here.

They can't get over it, so they want it to fail.

Their dumb asses should blame Yamauchi then; he's the one that called JRPG fans social outcasts and rejects (or something to that effect).

Brilliant businessman but easy to see why SquareSoft grew dissatisfied with Nintendo under his reign. But somehow Sony gets the blame. It could've been SEGA if they developed a Saturn that actually appealed to SquareSoft on a technical level (it did not).

People who don't know history are doomed to make themselves look stupid. That goes for gaming, as well.

These bots couldn't even muster enough support for Hogwart Legacy only making up 4% of sales compared to the other platforms. They want blame then they should look in the mirror.

They are effectively permanent exclusives though as far as Xbox getting a whiff goes. While the normies among us know this isn't actual news, this directly refutes the rumour-mongering by Jizz Condom and his rat-faced friends.

Taking a step back, as the developer of the game, you don't make claims in articles like this if you're going to turn around and release the game on other consoles.

Xbox has already signaled to third parties they’ve all but given up. Their partner event was the third page of steam indies section. Doesn’t Seem like any of the big devs even want to be associated with them.
