Final Fantasy XVI, the upcoming installment in the long-running JRPG series, drops on June 22 as a PlayStation 5 exclusive. That exclusivity is a bit of a bummer as other Final Fantasy games, such as Final Fantasy VII Remake, were also available on PC. And the last mainline entry, Final Fantasy XV, was multiplatform. Unfortunately, at least for now, the new Final Fantasy game will remain on PlayStation 5 only, according to the game’s producer.




This dudes don't like money but just Japanese loyalty

Square just shot themselves in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an a$$hole. If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the japanese public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase Final Fantasy XVI for PS5, nor will they purchase any of Square's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Square has alienated an entire market with this move.
Square, publicly apologize and cancel Final Fantasy XVI for PS5 or you can kiss your business goodbye.

I think he wants the game to sell as much asap instead of people waiting for the PC version.

And given squares history, if he got a ton of money to put into FF16 (which he probably did because of his success with FF14) then he need the higher ups at square to be pleased out the gate. Not 6 months to a year down the line when it doesn't matter as much for him.

This is the industry Sony stans prefer. Devs can’t even talk about their own damn games freely or else Big Sony gone take ‘em out :wow:







Microsoft is even more shameless having 2 day embargos :mjlol:

We also know they been keeping the STALKER 2 3 month exclusivity a secret and the only reason we know about it is because of court documents

Japan is hours behind us dumbass.

Those devs were able to talk about their games on other platforms as soon as they wanted to.

This guy literally cannot acknowledge what will be the best version of his game.

So if they are gonna do the marketing themselves they aren’t gonna pick in the middle of the night to be doing press releases.

They were able to talk about their games freely at their own will.

In this case this guy can not.

It literally says it was a two day embargo :snoop:

And Japan is AHEAD of us not behind us, dummy :mjlol:
