How about the give us a good FF that can rival Dragon Quest instead of the crap we've been getting since X?
This ship has sailed and sunk 10 years ago I’m afraid.
(But you may get a good AA JRPG once in a while)

SquareEnix to my knowledge actually does bring quite a bit of their games to other platforms especially the Switch. One problem is Switch isn’t powerful enough to port some of SE’s games and XBOX gets less support because Japanese games don’t sell well on the XBOX. That’s one reason they heavily favor the PlayStation. Sure, Sony gets exclusive deals, but SE games are most successful on there.Hopefully this president is smart enough to bring their games to every platform.
Drop all focus on nfts/metaverse.
& Doesn't blame crystal dynamics/eidos for their failings.
What's FFXIV, one of the most popular MMO's got to do with Sony? Their games would sell just the same and probably more if they went multiplatform releasing the likes of FFVIIR, FFXVI, DQ etc simultaneously on PS, XBX, PC.Trash company that is only alive because of handouts from Sony.

I agree with this sentiment too, star ocean really rubbed me the wrong way, it seemed like a fun PS2 era jrpg.Being smart is actually improving the quality of their games, not sure how an ok to average lineup of games last year being released on more platforms is changing that.
And stop using their (patent pending) "Lucky Draw" system for platform picking?Square Enix really need to stop with the exclusive games crap. They are a multiplatform company.
Exclusive games from multiplatform developers only benefit the platform holder.
Same is happening with Ubisoft.Bethesda is lucky that they got purchased by Microsoft else their fate also would be worse.Square Is dying, and it hurts to see. They've made some really bad decisions.
Hopefully, if it would bring them back to greatness, Sony does buy them.
Dentsu is a global ad firm, where in his CV is anything related to the metaverse....
Interesting. Now annihilate the utterly useless Ethics Department!
SE is probably doing the best among the top Japanese 3rd party publishers (after Capcom)Square Is dying, and it hurts to see. They've made some really bad decisions.

Current SE up to now has been delivering so many bangers that change is slightly scary to me.
Look at the shit they green lit that many would’ve thought we’d never see:
Octopath 1&2
Bravely default 1&2
Front mission remasters
FF7 remakes
KH3&4
FFXVI
FF14 expansions
Triangle strategy
Tactics ogre remaster
Valkyrie profile game
Valkyrie profile remaster
Star ocean new game/s
Dio field chronicle
Chrono cross remaster
Saga frontier remaster
Forspoken
Theatehtymn
Babylons fall
Dragon quest games on games
The list goes on and on. Square portfolio year after year has some stinkers and some winners. You can’t say they aren’t trying on a AA and a AAA front while still taking care of core consumers.
Compared to the ps3 era and a lot of ps4, the last few years have been wonderful .
Actually, it’s in this order profitwiseSE is probably doing the best among the top Japanese 3rd party publishers (after Capcom)
Many of those games only got Xbox ports years after their original launches though. I doubt that's the level of commitment Xbox fans want.I know they bring games to Xbox.
I agree, day and date would genuinely be really nice.Many of those games only got Xbox ports years after their original launches though. I doubt that's the level of commitment Xbox fans want.
For whatever reason, Square games just don't do as well on Xbox as they do on PlayStation, Switch and even PC. Most tow the line of being profitable to port or not, so it ends up being hit and miss, which likely only further distances them from that audience.I agree, day and date would genuinely be really nice.
It just seems really questionable what titles they choose to put on Xbox and not on Xbox.
Surely you agree the games they choose to port to xbox over their bigger titles is questionable?For whatever reason, Square games just don't do as well on Xbox as they do on PlayStation, Switch and even PC.

Even when they deem a game profitable on the platform, it's not a big enough number, and Sony or Nintendo can easily afford to pay for the exclusivity.
Well, there's no doubt the big stuff like Final Fantasy XVI and FFVII Remake were a result of a check from Sony.Surely you agree the games they choose to port to xbox over their bigger titles is questionable?
I'm happy stuff like Diofield Chronicles came to Xbox, as it was such a genuine surprise for myself.
It's pretty baffling.Well, there's no doubt the big stuff like Final Fantasy XVI and FFVII Remake were a result of a check from Sony.
But, SE does make strange decisions. For example, putting Octopath Traveler on Xbox and not PlayStation only to put Octopath Traveler 2 on PlayStation and not Xbox.
How the fuck is Konami number 2 with Capcom?! Mobile games?Actually, it’s in this order profitwise
Bandai Namco
Capcom - Konami
Koei Tecmo
Square Enix
SEGA
Unironically yes (with some japan only low budget switch games, one in which recently sold 4M+ copies in Japan), in addition to Yu-Gi-Oh cashcowHow the fuck is Konami number 2 with Capcom?! Mobile games?
Tho Koei Tecmo is a head scratcher too.
The explanation for that is that MS paid for the OT port to be on Gamepass.Well, there's no doubt the big stuff like Final Fantasy XVI and FFVII Remake were a result of a check from Sony.

For TS and LaL it depends what terms were in the contracts signed with NintendoIt's pretty baffling.
You would think Triangle Strategy & Live A Live would come to playstation as well.
But only switch & Pc with triangle.
Same with various other titles and platform choices.
Haven't liked the trailer actually, ff is supposed to look way better, their faces look like animated at the level of life is strange and other low detailed 3d object games, it's like paperwork painted objects, they really s and serve no purpose.The explanation for that is that MS paid for the OT port to be on Gamepass.
