I would have purchased it by now if I could get it on the xbox. I could be wrong, but it seems the Xbox gets the short stick a lot this generation. Switch and playstation seem to be given for a games release but it’s always a toss up if the Xbox will be included.
I wish it was less intensive for devs to make their games multiplatform. I hope with their recent announcement fir more Xbox support we’ll get ff7 remake and ff16 in due time
Xbox isn’t popular in Japan at all, and there’s the issue gamepass cannibalizing sales. Makes it a hard sell for Japanese studios for sure.
But in this case it’s because sony gave them a bucket of money. Microsoft isn’t really the place you want to be to support multiplatform games though, literally anywhere else is better, Microsoft is spending near a hundred billion dollars just to remove games from other people’s stores
Thats surprising. FF16 is great
Has square ever met any of their expectations? They always seem to over estimate everything. Any time they have a game release, it’s always followed with an article about how it didn’t meet sales expectations. You’d think if company leadership is that far off from expectations over and over, they’d re-assess, yet they never do.
They really need to take a step back and remember why people enjoy the franchise. I enjoyed the characters and the gameplay but they keep changing it. 12 was the beginning of the end of turn based combat. I still like 12 but give us a mainline turn based game. It can be fun and people will like it. Just make good characters.
From the company that got rid of its western developers for performing better than them.
