They do over at the other forum, a lot of them insist that the next FF game should be a switch 2 exclusive if they want it to sell in japan

Well a portable Final Fantasy will sell better but new Final Fantasy games are normally top graphics and performance.
Switch is still on like Wii U tech so Square would never do that and I doubt Switch 2 could run FF16 lol

 

[John Elden Ring]

The game is a success. The time people spend trying to downplay the game, crying about the cutscenes, battle system and side quest is a statement to that. If the game had flopped, nobody would be talking about it anymore. Just like nobody remembers about hi-flop rush.

Game is awesome. Wild so many wanted it to fail.

It was funny when people tried to cancell it and failed miserably.

SE made the right decision sticking with Playstation.

Really nobody on earth associates Final Fantasy with Nintendo. Of course it started there but it was thanks to Sony’s assistance that FF reached new heights. Final Fantasy became big with VII.
Only delusional Nintendo fanboys think that Multi-platform FF would sell better on Nintendo systems. FF Crisis Core a Multi-port remaster sold 84% on PlayStation despite Nintendo Switch version.

I mean, no reason to hold out on a ps5, you’re gonna go through the same thing again with Rebirth in 6 months

It depends on game demography. Action game? PS4/5 sells better. Turned based? Switch.

I have to pay 590 to see Octopath Traveler 2 opening week sale, somebody have source please post it, Gamatsu just won't load for me.

Square Enix will never again make a mainline FF Turn-Based. Expect for MMO of course but that woukd never run on Nintendo’s old fossil hardware.

I know. It hasnt bee associated with Nintendo since FF6 and thats only Nintendo’s fault.

Apart from the Gamecube/PS2 Gen, Nintendo consoles wouldnt have been able to run Final Fantasy games at the time. FF7,8,9 wouldnt run on N64. FF13,14,15,16 wouldnt run on Wii, Wii U, Switch respectfully. Only FFX and FF12 would have been able to run on Gamecube, but maybe disc space would of have been an issue?

Square love top graphics and effects for FF. Nintendo isnt the home for that

 

[Kokoloko]

What's up with obsession of this game sales?

Haters want it to fail. People who love it like me, want them to eat crow

 

[Jim Ryan]

A great deal for Square, a great deal for PlayStation and a great deal for gamers.

This will be the case with every 3rd and 1st party exclusive for PS. Its been a shill tactic since last gen.
Strategy: Cant beat them ( PS exclusives)… Shit on them instead

Uncharted 4 numbers were sold-through numbers, while FFXVI numbers were shipped numbers. Uncharted 4's shipments are likely much bigger than FFXVI probably around ~5m.
For example, Kirby and the forgotten land shipments in 5 days = 2.6m and sold-through numbers in 2 weeks = 2.1m.
Shipped vs Sold-through numbers aren't valid comparison.
