That FF16 dream is not real again (and it never wil be with Series S around)

Jez, if you look closely, Final Fantasy 16 is not coming to Xbox.

My 4080 is struggling with this game, dusted base PS5s were overheating during some Eikon fights.
Yeah, good luck running FF16 on Series S.

And there were more than a few people in here who thought ff7 remake and 16 were inevitable. Better luck next year I guess.

It's pretty obvious at this point that whatever deal there is between Sony and SE for the FFVII Remake was something they did back in 2015 or even before and it's going to last for the entire trilogy.

Absolutely, I think they revisited it and locked in the trilogy as full exclusives.

On a serious note, if Xbox itself doesn't think that their console offers them adequate sales and feels the need to port its games to PC and PlayStation, how can they expect others - SE in this case - to find their platform financially viable?

LOL. Because Square Enix release their games on multiplatforms and Xbox would just be one more which adds extra income?
Sometimes some of you don't even stop to think about what you say and you just function on autopilot XBOX hater mode on.
Then, if there is something clear from today's announcements (about SQE-XBOX agreement) it is that look like Square Enix is going to release more games on Xbox than ever from now on, and that also includes the next big IPs. At the end, look like MS is still interested in having more games of all kinds and origins reach the XBOX ecosystem and Square seems to be more interested than ever in releasing games in the XBOX ecosystem.... There's not much to think about

You may end up loving it. It's a divisive game. I definitely had some significant issues with the game, but I still completed it. I barely even enjoy telling people my opinion of the game on here because everyone is so ridiculously protective of this game. All I can say is play the demo. For me, that perfectly illustrated every pro and con in the entire game so none of it was a surprise to me.

Maybe it would run at 720p and with a 30fps lock on the Series S?

It’s hardly scaling below PS5 due to being to that base target in mind. Resolution won’t change a thing.
Better hope they get released before ms pulls the plug on xbox consoles.
Clock is ticking.

That's not a small amount of effort these days for games making regular PS5 groan.
Bearing in mind the port has to and include series S....

The funniest thing about this port begging saga of final fantasy for xbox. Is that xbox gamers refuse to buy final fantasy when it does release. Nor play when it's on gamepass.
In 2019 the phillness started promising ff14, after that it became almost a yearly ritual for the press to ask and him to promise.
Last year he made surprise visit to ff14 fan fest. They finally would release the game. This year in March they finally released ff14 after 5 years of promises.
And then xbox gamers completely ignored the game. Wasn't even in the top 400 sold games.
On the bright side we did get this iconic moment from the ff14 saga.

You're assuming that the revenue from Xbox sales will exceed the cost of development.LOL. Because Square Enix release their games on multiplatforms and Xbox would just be one more which adds extra income?

SquareEnix clearly doesn't think that's the case. Otherwise, they would have ported the mainline Final Fantasy games to Xbox.

Not the zinger you think this is.
Yoshida: Players have been waiting a long time for the Xbox release [of Final Fantasy 14], but I'm happy to say that we've seen a really strong response on Xbox, we've seen communities starting to establish and now they're growing. We've had a pretty good response on Xbox.

You're assuming Square makes Xbox games for charity by losing money without getting anything in return. Of course LOL
What happens with FF will be seen in the future. FFVII hasn't even been released on PC yet and FFXVI has just been released on PC and you have the director himself saying that it will be released on more platforms. Porting is not that easy or fast.
It's as easy as waiting and seeing and then talking.

Oh no I mention phil, now adam is after me./s
But seriously context is important. Instead of that answer should he have said:
"ff14 sales on xbox? Nah, man that shit bombed hard. Damn you phil, I should've never trusted you. You'll only get the pixel games from now on"
offcourse not, he gave a polite and political answer.
But the reality is, it bombed hard, just like other JRPG games on Xbox. This is not new, this has always been the case.
Not in the top 400, and a price cut.
So is Final Fantasy XIV a flop on Xbox?
I don't know what was expected to be honest. No one can say it's a bad game either. It's one of the best MMOs out there currently and has millions of subs.

Phases of the process:
1- "Square will never returns to release its games on Xbox.These will be fewer and fewer"
2- "Square will only release minor games on XBOX. The alliance with Sony is unbreakable and has worked for them exceedingly. "
3- "Square will release some minor games on Xbox but no longer its big IPS which are the ones that Sony prefers to keep and the only ones that interest PS users".
4- Square will release games on Xbox but not FF.
5-"Square will release all of its games on XBOX, but they do so out of compassion for the 10 users who will buy the games".
(currently this is the status of the process)
6- "Square wastes time launching its games on Xbox and that damages the quality of the final game".
7- Square makes bad games and the blame is to launch its games on Xbox.
So much argument to try to hide the only reality.... That they hate Xbox and are bothered by the idea of publishers continuing to release games on Xbox that didn't arrive before in it

- Game has a 100hr plus 'free' trial and makes its money off of monetization. Is in page 1 of top free paid games on platform.
- Producer and Director of the game praises the strong start on the platform

FF7 Remake is on PC. Rebirth will be ported; it just released on PS.
Isn't that what we're doing?
Jez said that FF16 will be announced during the Xbox TGS show. We waited. It didn't happen. Now we are talking. No?

Depends on what you're expecting. If you're expecting a classic Final Fantasy JRPG experience... you'll probably be disappointed. But if you are okay with an action game with the trappings of FF (the music, monsters, summons, magic, etc) and like epic stories, I think you'll like it. It has some problems with pacing, low difficulty, and the sidequests in the first 2/3 of the game really suck and are MMO-tier, but it has some of the highest highs of any FF game ever. So kind of a mixed bag - if you can overlook the flaws, it's definitely worth playing.

To be fair he also said Pixel Remaster and that one did happen, so he's 50/50 for what that's worth.
And at this point I think it's safe to say that eXitas guy is more 'reliable' than Jez. He's been saying 2025 for months now and the producers of FF16 also said they want the game to be on Xbox but are focused on the PC version right now.
edit: Director, not producer.

Ah yes releasing the game with and immediately have +50% discount. Currently being on the bottom first page of free games. Being bested by a 360 game, xbox one game, and small old indie games is a huge accomplishment. /s
