The post i quoted had a response too but it dissapeared. Mental illness because of a removed or misquoted post.
Sure man.

Xbox just shot themselves in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about American culture (I'm an expert), but money and capitalism are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in Japan where you can become successful by being hardworking. If you screw someone over in America, you bring obesity and high cholesterol to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is through a gastric band.
What this means is the American public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase The Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Collection for any system, nor will they purchase any of Xbox's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Xbox has alienated an entire market with this move.
Xbox, publicly apologize and release The Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Collection for Series S or you can kiss your business goodbye.

If Xbox users do not buy those games, Square Enix (or any other Japanese company) will not release games on Xbox and will focus on Playstation, PC and Switch, it is useless to complain on twitter that it is free and then not go through the box.

Xbox is getting a mainline Dragon Quest game day one, possibly on GamePass day one, fans should be counting their blessings instead of worrying about petty stuff like some shitty remasters where Square Enix couldn’t even get the font right.

I think the number of alt accounts on the board are higher than we think.

I agree poster I never had a conversation before with. Also I thought you were brilliant in Robocop and ED-209 rules.

Lol now i am an alt account. Why would i need an alt account to begin with?
I thought people could say what they wanted on this site.

You sure. My understanding is that no platforms for the next DQ have been confirmed as of yet, it could very well be a PS exclusive

Atlus is a completely different story because of the Sega ownership, thank God for that.

Square Enix is mostly garbage. XBox placed them in their rightful "low priority" state and the old guard got mad.

I repeat my question why would i need an alt account to say what i said.

So no more complaining about not getting FF, etc., right? Right?

No, you'll still get "old guard" fans complaining about the situation, but there's only like 14 of them left so you'll really only hear them where old guards congregate
Not really. FF Online is a big deal. Mainline FF is a moderate, diminishing asset. Outside of those two titles Square Enix produces shovelware. They're the 42 year old hot chick who still thinks it's 2003 and no one can see the 30lbs they put on.

Most of the games Square Enix publishes, especially their smaller ones, aren't live service slop. It's obvious why he would say that.

Someone mentioned that apparently Xbox denied it, which I find hard to believe because Wtf else would they have been doing then.

Jez's call out is as rare as hen's teeth. The FFXIV issue is on Xbox as SE even confirmed they need MS to agree to crossplay years ago.

This really has to go in the GAF hall of fame ...You are replying to yourself, dude
I think it was because Microsoft required to have the Gold subscription to play it. I'm not sure.

It's called xbox series s. Especially in regards to final fantasy. Square are probably like, our main game barely sells on your platform and you want us to waste time and resources porting to it and optimising for series s? Before hanging the phone up on them.

Wasn't that dropped on free to play and MMOs when the Gold price increase attempt imploded? That shouldn't be holding FFXIV up now.

sucks but Xbox really need to get their check books out, as not having final fantasy games on Xbox hurts as much as having no cod PlayStation.

That's because it's all speculation. He just wrote his feelings and claims he heard stuff from imaginary sources to give it weight.

Makes sense. I can’t imagine it’s an easy feat to get the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters to run on XSS. They may need help from Jason Ronald himself on that impossible port.

There could be some social/cultural factors at play here as well. For all we know, at some point during a meeting between members of the SquareEnix and Xbox teams, someone from Xbox committed some breach of decorum that is considered a serious offense and it was never properly addressed or apologized for. SE is still a very Japanese company, and matters of respect tend to be very important in the culture because of the dense population. Sales has already been mentioned and doubtlessly that has a significant impact on things. If SE's games don't really sell on Xbox, there's no real reason for SE to work at the relationship with Xbox. Especially since they've sold off all their western facing IPs that would've drawn more Xbox gamers in (Hitman, Tomb Raider, etc.)
Ultimately, it probably makes little difference. I imagine the number of gamers who mainline Xbox aren't going to reconsider their purchase of a Series console because SE likely won't put most of it's games on the console. Despite all the console warring, at the end of the day, the three console platform holders have unique cultures and philosophies that draw certain times of gamers in--this tends to be what inspires the whole "console citizenship" mindset which leads to platform loyalty and, in a number of cases, console warriors.
A lot of SE games won't be coming to Xbox. And a lot of Bethesda titles probably won't be coming to PlayStation. It still leaves everyone with the same 3 basic choices:
1. Buy all consoles
2. Pick a single console to mainline and supplement with PC (or mainline PC and forego some exclusive titles altogether)
3. Decide which games you can live without and buy the console that retains the ones you can't live without.

I mean, Xbox has never needed Square Enix, where its a major deal for Playstation for Jrpg console sales. 360 proved this as well making all that jrpg fan appeasement fruitless in the end. it was always a Wrpg brand and now it has 4 of the bigger studios in that genre making games only for Xbox. Final Fantasy 16 does nothing for Xbox.
