This can't happen because the third part is signed as exclusive, like the previous two.
Square Enix will release games simultaneously on both Xbox and PlayStation going forward

Seeing people here getting upset over a third party publisher wanting to release its games on all platforms is hilarious.
And it's not like Square didn't try this before with FF13 and 15.

Aged like milk or left to rot in the sun by Hulst?
This comment from Jim Ryan aged liked milk
What you mean, he showed up at the FF16 launch party in a brief video saying that, thanking them for what he set out prior to the gen. This was before 16 and 7 Rebirth being out.

Yes, and it was barely worth it.
Like almost any Japanese Game released on Xbox is not worth it.
Have you thought about the possibility that these penny pinchers at Sony were responsible for ending the partnership with Square Enix?
People celebrating on xbox. Like Square is a third party publisher. Generally they would want games everywhere to sell as much as they could. Theres a reason why it was being skipped. One that i think will reemerge snd be a problem again. First trailer and all comments will be asking for Gamepass
I doubt Sony wants to bankroll more of their games anytime soon either.
Square owes allegiance to no one, are third party and can and should release their games wherever they need or want to.
In the end, whatever they need to do to produce less dumpster fires like forspoken, avengers, Babylon’s fall and Foamstars …the better for gamers.

Like it helped Square during Xbox1 days lol.
Square just taking a bunch of money to release them on non exclusive.
Probably helps Square more than what PS is playing Square for exclusive rights. And it wont make a difference to sales.
I wonder if it includes FF7 part 3
Anyway same thing happened with Sega and will happen with Tecmo.
This is why Sony needs to buy a publisher, they dont have enough studios (clearly) and soon anyone with importance, will not want to do exclusives

People not buying games on Xbox, they should really focus on Steam and Switch 2.
Hell their games underperformed on Xbox 360 when Xbox was at its peak, now it’s just a gamepass machine.

Y'all are more mad about Fantasian being multiplat than it having been Apple Arcade exclusive for several years
You just fail to see the logic.
Take Two, the publisher of the biggest third party game on the planet, GTA, will release GTA6 on consoles first.
Square Enix, the maker of Final Fantasy games, will release FF7 3 on PS5 exclusively.
Nintendo, the maker of Zelda and Mario games, will keep releasing exclusively on their hardware.
Im guessing this is what happened. Square tripping over themselves to go multiplat when theyve basically had a first party relationship makes me think sony decided it wasnt worth it anymore.
I guess you could say that in a certain way. Sony should have acquired Square Enix but instead they squandered their entire acquisition budget on trash like Bungie, Haven and Firewalk so no more exclusives.
why does square always have to have some grand Xbox appearance as if anyone really cares that much.
So nothing new.
Xbox 360 and Xbox 1 had many titles release at the same time like FF13, FF15, Kingdom Hearts 3, Dragon Quest etc etc. They even got a great title PS didnt get, Octopath traveler.
This really isnt gonna help Square.
Square makes good greats, there management and CEO’s have ridiculous expectations like they did with Tomb Raider and Dues Ex. Both great games, both multiplatform. TR sold more than 10 million. If that doesnt make your CEO’s happy, maybe play hangman with your Square CEO’s because thats plenty of money to fund more games, and a profit. CEO’s are becoming too greedy

I agree Sony need to buy a Japanese publisher. Square, Tecmo, Sega, anyone tbh
But they will cost alot more than Bungie, Haven, Firewalk etc. Closet being Tecmo and Bungie in price
