FF 16 and Persona 6 will be a great duo.
What was debunked were the claims about YoshiP being the director of the title - not the ones about the game being in development at Square Enix's Business Division 3 who are confirmed to be working for several years now on an unannounced next-gen project that "has already completed initial development, has completed the development environment, and is now in the stage of full-scale large-scale development." according to it's recruitment page.Wasn't it a rumour that got debunked months ago? YoshiP's team is 100% focused on 14 and now more than ever after the success of shadowbringers.
aww are you upset? So it's ok when your favourite company does it? But not when Sony do it eh?Not surprising look at FF7 Remake. This is why any chance they get Microsoft should fuck Sony over. Give people the same energy they give you.
Sony have more than enough studios at this point. I do wish that Sony would take greater risks with their Japan studios though. Take some of the money they are using for timed exclusives, give it to a team consisting of Gravity Rush, Astro Boy and Puppeteer developers and let them build an action adventure/rpg game that challenges Nintendo's accessibility with Mario/Zelda games.
That was a legendary post. Couldn’t believe it then.Square just shot themselves in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about Business culture (I'm an expert), but releasing your game on as many platforms as possible are huge parts of it. We are not living in a communist society where you can make a living by sending people to the gulag. If you fail to make money here in the west, you will go bankrupt, and there is now way to recover from that.
What this means is the xbox crowd, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase FFXVI for either system, nor will they purchase any of Square's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh at me all you want, but Square has alienated the entire market with this move.
Square, publicly apologize and release FFXVI on all platforms (inlucluding the OUYA) or you can kiss you business goodbye.

Called business and being competitive, and its sounds like they have more than one game on lock down so good luck with that.I won't be forced to buy a console for just 1 game i want to play timed exclusive is horrible and anti consumer.
And they have, except the games they locked down arent anything to trifle over. Sony gets the heavy hitters it seems, thats market leader and money for you.Not surprising look at FF7 Remake. This is why any chance they get Microsoft should fuck Sony over. Give people the same energy they give you.

ByeI won't be forced to buy a console for just 1 game i want to play timed exclusive is horrible and anti consumer.
Im sure some people will pee in their pajamas if that happens but i could care less, get better and more mature content for your audience. Sony seems to be the only one putting out R rated movies these days while MS is going the pixar route.They need to keep doing it. And one of the most played games in the world Minecraft restrict the raytraced version to PC and Series X.

You only become a consumer if you buy their product, so it's actually Pro-Consumer and Anti-NonconsumerFFXVI is being kept from another console that it otherwise would absolutely release on because sony paid money (if this rumour is true). That is the definition of anti-consumer. They are literally stopping people from being able to play a game they otherwise would have been able to.

I agree as well.Exactly. The customer is always right, refers to YOUR customers, not the competitor's competition.
Where's the outrage over The Medium being a timed Xbox exclusive?
I agree as well.
I get that people want to be able to play everything on their console of choice, but how is this any different from streaming services getting exclusives? You mean to tell me that a manufacturer/business wants to pay for incentives that will bring people to their platform so that they make even more money? Shocking.
Yeah, and I do get that streaming services are cheaper then purchasing an entire console but the general practice is the same. If I was Sony I would want as many reasons to stick with the ecosystem as possible. Pull out the big guns. Same as if I was Microsoft though they don't seem to care.Netflix is so anti-consumer for having shows you can't watch on Hulu.
That’s not at all how it works lol. We are consumers because we purchase these consumer products. You’re a consumer even if you don’t buy a product. This move is anti consumer, because now you don’t have a choice of where to play the game when you otherwise would have.You only become a consumer if you buy their product, so it's actually Pro-Consumer and Anti-Nonconsumer

No that's exactly how it works, how do you think they get more consumers?That’s not at all how it works lol. We are consumers because we purchase these consumer products.

And they're anti-consumer too......What kind of fantasy world are you living in? this is business, no one stopping you from buying the console and playing the game or you could wait until the deal ends and the game releases on other platforms
same thing MS is doing with the console exclusives they announced
No that's exactly how it works, how do you think they get more consumers?
: not favorable to consumers : improperly favoring the interests of businesses over the interests of consumers
Netflix is so anti-consumer for having shows you can't watch on Hulu.
Netflix making their own content and having it exclusive isn't anti-consumer because they made it for their service. Disney taking all their shows off every other streaming service that already has them, however, is anti-consumer because they're literally taking away from the consumer. Same with Square - the game would have been on xbox, now it might not be.
No Bro i have a PC i played most if not all my games on there and if FF16 is really only on PS5 for like the 1st year than forget it won't even buy it even when it comes to PC at least Xbox put their games on PC day 1 and not just locked it away to only 1 console.Are you talking about The Medium?
Ill just play something else but why are Playstation locking it down on PC to, I understand locked it for Xbox but leave PC out of this stupid console war.lolCalled business and being competitive, and its sounds like they have more than one game on lock down so good luck with that.
The Medium is also releasing on PC day 1 though it a console exclusive which is fine.Exactly. The customer is always right, refers to YOUR customers, not the competitor's competition.
Where's the outrage over The Medium being a timed Xbox exclusive?
PC needs to get their own exclusives first.Ill just play something else but why are Playstation locking it down on PC to, I understand locked it for Xbox but leave PC out of this stupid console war.lol
PC have more exclusive than both console combine what are you talking about.PC needs to get their own exclusives first.
If netflix are making exclusivity deals with companies to have their shows exclusively that would have also gone to other streaming services then yes, that is anti-consumer.Netflix doesn't make all their exclusive streaming content on Netflix. Just like Sony and MS don't make ALL their exclusives.
Exactly. The customer is always right, refers to YOUR customers, not the competitor's competition.
Where's the outrage over The Medium being a timed Xbox exclusive?
Quality ones though?PC have more exclusive than both console combine what are you talking about.
Probably just timed like FFVII Remake.
Not even Sony would be scumbag enough to have a FF game 100% exclusive.
We know what it means.Come on fellas, use your brains.

H Hypereides ? Oh it matters.
'Final Fantasy XV' Is Now The Fastest Selling Game In The History Of The Series
According to Square Enix, the day one sales across boxed and digital versions for Fantasy Fantasy XV are in excess of 5 million units, which makes it the fastest selling Final Fantasy game in history.www.forbes.com
You might feel that way and thats ok, sales show otherwise. Especially when you consider ever FF is different. So someone can not like 1 FF and love another.
With all due respect, "fastest selling" isn't a noteworthy metric, in any scenario, regardless of game to me. Publishers can tout "fastest-selling" as much as they like. I more interested in the ultimate lifetime sales. Most AAA sales are very frontloaded and slow down falling onto a flat trajectory fairly quickly anyway.
Likewise, if you feel like its still a significant IP with presence then more power to you.
Doesn't matter. It shows the community still buys the game.
Despite Internet Rage, Final Fantasy XV Has Almost Sold 9 Million Units
Final Fantasy XV may have been rather divisive, but was nonetheless a top earner for Square Enix.www.thegamer.com
So a game at 9 million units is nothing to try to dismiss....
Right.
Look, you seem to still care about this series and that's fine. Unfortunately, you're not going to persuade or overturn my view. Besides there's no need for that. You're obviously convinced that its still an important IP and that's a fair opinion to have.
People loosely throwing the words "anti consumer" because is the new rage is annoying af. Just cause your console of choice isn't getting xyz exclusive deal doesn't mean that the companies involved in the xyz deal owe you anything. If you want to be a part of the customer base that these deals are tied to it's simple, you buy that product, if not then stop bitching.
That's how business works. If you want a product that's on business A you buy into business A's product and not bitch about if it's on business B. That's how the world works. I feel like the internet with each passing day gives people an inch to bitch more and more with no logic in mind. Shit is annoying af.
Depends on what you like. If you like strategy games then there's no better platform. If you like CRPGs, there's obviously no better platform. If you like shooters, there can be argument whether you like mouse + keyboard or controller as input method. If you like immersive sims (Mainly the stuff from Looking Glass Studios), PC is the only option there. If you like fighting games, you're probably better off with a console. If you like JRPGs, you're probably better off with a console (although that seems to change), etc.Quality ones though?
Not trying to.....
The sales show its an important IP man. You might have to just deal with that bit of reality. Hard to really try to argue a game moving 9 million units isn't significant simply cause you don't like it. So many IP exist that sell 9 million or more that I don't buy as clearly I don't just buy every single last game....
However, I also don't try to claim an IP is not important based on my personal taste or anything, if its moving the fastest units out of any title in the series history, clearly I must take note that SOMEONE still finds the IP important enough to buy day 1.
Some stock must be put in that objectively regardless of our opinions on a title man. I don't play Call Of Duty, Fifa, Fortnite etc, but it would me like me saying those are not important or significant in some deal or something. I don't play em, but clearly enough do to support its importance to the community. When you have 15 entries of a series and one of em is in the top 4 best selling....
Thats pretty fucking important. It means the series isn't going anywhere as its pretty hard to argue against its continued support.
They have been doing the same or have you been asleep? They tried it with 360 and still now with Xbox. Remember Tomb Raider?Not at all. Microsoft should just do the same and go all the way in by not releasing Minecraft RTX on PS5 and use their wealth to buy as many timed exclusives as possible.
