Same. I only started playing Final Fantasy this year on PC, and was surprised how long it took to port over FFXVI. Would love for games like Rebirth to be available sooner!
Square Enix will release games simultaneously on both Xbox and PlayStation going forward
- Thread starter R4tion4l Sk3pt1c
- Start date
I hope so. It would be nice if as many people could play on release as possible.
Good! I didn't buy Visions of Mana or Romancing Saga 2, won't buy Dragon Quest 3 or Fantasian. I hope those terrible Xbox sales are worth it, Yoshida bitch.
Wait.....you don't buy their games because they're releasing them on Xbox? What is wrong with you guys? How does Square Enix releasing their games on Xbox change anything for you buying the game to play on PlayStation? SMFH
OP
OP
So you’re boycotting Square Enix because all their games from here on out will be multi platform I mean it’s your money so you can choose how you want to spend it but kind of silly that this is what is making you boycott
Wait, you skipped all those games because they're available on Xbox?
Yeah, crazy if that's the case.
I get fanboying and console wars, i do it too but i would never boycot a game i'm interested in just because it's available on another platform.
That's nuts if that's what that person actually does. Just proves what I have said for a long time - PlayStation fans don't care about the publishers, the games, the IP's or the thousands of people who work on the games. They ONLY care about bragging rights for their plastic box which revolves around one single thing which is - we have the game and you don't. It's truly mind boggling.
I bought Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana and Ys IX: Monstrom Nox two months or so ago for PlayStation 5 and will be buying Ys X: Nordics and Granblue Fantasy Relink (all digital by the way) also on PlayStation 5 because they're not on Xbox. I'm not going to skip games that I want to play just because I can't play them on my preferred platform.
But whatever. I just don't get it. If you're a gamer and there's games you want to play and can play them where you want, why wouldn't you? Again, I just don't get it.
Visions and Saga already came out and sold like shit. The rest will flop too. Fantasian is number 3398 on Steam
Put your money where mouth is and buy these fucking games if you want them. I don't.
PS fans put them on top we can put them down just as easily. It is not on us to bail them out anymore
It sounds like maybe they just didn't want to buy the games, per their latest post.
Which, I think is totally fine, if a game just didn't resonate with them.The alternative would be, well... odd, if one's intention was supporting PlayStation as a console. The reason being that it would only go to show a higher ratio of PC/Xbox/Nintendo to PlayStation sales, which would reinforce to publishers that those systems should have ports.
SE Games won't sell on Xbox anyway. The only reason they even bother is all the Microsoft Money.
They won't help Xbox Sales in Japan either.
Western Players who truly care about Japanese Games don't sit on Xbox anyway.

The only ones bragging here are Xbox and PC fans. Why do you think that PC troll made this thread?
As I said, the game is number 3400 on Steam and non-existent on Xbox. OP doesn't give two shits about it. Exbots fans are still butthurt about FF16 and FF7Rebirth, that's the only reason why we keep getting these articles.
Yoshida and Kyriu will learn the hard way, like Sony and their flop PC ports, that catering to people that never supported you always backfire badly.
Hit me up when you find Fantasian on the Xbox charts
Lmao PS market share about to be easily eaten by Nintendo because PS decided to focus on PC releases & green light games that didn’t need green lighted + wasted money on wester studios/publisher.
You know your fucked w even Square see value in releasing on Xbox. This can also be a strategy to make Sony acquire them at a premium or loose important partner either way PS loose Square relationship like Neir & Final Fantasy exclusivity & there done in Japan & take a big hit in Asia.
Not sure why PS hasn’t double down on Asia from a first party level. All sign shows Asia & Japan are extremely lucrative + great talent/ip that also caters to us/eu.
The diminishment in PS loosing exclusivity by porting games to competing platforms such as PC & Nintendo will question both large & small studios/publishers why take a PS exclusivity when they can release on Nintendo Switch 2 day 1 so really PS will have to do exclusivity for Xbox & Nintendo or just pick Nintendo as there a bigger threat or consolidate & acquire publisher something they’ve yet done & something imo they should’ve done back in 2020 as all clear signs shows the lack consolidation in the gaming market & the important of owning the ip/studios from a 1st party level to bolster & expand the PS storefront platform to new audience by making games in genres PS doesn’t support aswell expand to mobile & pc w multiplayer/lives service that PS themselves lack. PS first party output is poor compared to other competitors & they have done nothing to yet change it.

Why? FFVII Remake trilogy, FFXIV DLC, FFXVI, Forspoken, Babylon's Fall or Foamstars are PS console exclusive.
Saga Frontier, Valkyrie Elysium, Neo: The World Ends With You, Actraiser Renaissance, Dungeon Encounters, Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars, Voice of Cards: The Forsaken Maiden, Voice of Cards: The Beasts of Burden, Various Daylife, Theatrhythm Final Bar Line, Star Ocean: The Second Story R, SaGa: Emerald Beyond, Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven are not in Xbox.
Pretty likely what Square Enix will do will be to release more of their B/C tier games day one in all consoles day one, reducing the timed console exclusives there. And some old A/B tier game that was a timed console exclusive will be released elsewhere once their exclusivity period expires.
But make sure they'll continue having full or timed console exclusivities with Sony or maybe also Nintendo with at least some no-Xbox clause signed in games as could be Dragon Quest XII or Kingdom Hearts 4.
I think FF7 Remake's last part is still under contract to be PS exclusive however long it takes to come out
edit - will be interesting to see how long it stays exclusive or if it changed to be PC day one with PS5/6
This may be you wish, but in the real world we know that minimum the third part of the FFVII remake will be exclusive too. Who knows what else Jimbo kept signed. Probably Kindom Hearts 4 and (this one maybe on Switch 2 too) Dragon Quest XII.
the same can be said for PS pc port yet Sony/PS still do it even if there diminishment damages & or negative effects.
Some companies are dumb & short sighted.
I fully expect day n date on PC & Switch 2 but Xbox? Unless MS essentially pays the port + pays a fix amount that Square could squeeze like Sega is doing there’s no reason to focus on Xbox essentially when there at the brink & they will likely not support another Xbox or support current Xbox consoles in the future where Xbox/MS will tell you to just get a PC or access Xbox games through a browser/app like Netflix or a streaming/cloud stick or buy the games on PS & Nintendo
Here's how it's gonna be. Final Fantasy VII Remake Switch 2 launch title with Rebirth to follow later in the year. The third part will be fully multiplatform at launch. Same thing for Kingdom Hearts and Dragon Quest.
