I would end up asking why they are priortisaing trequels over new ips.

Ryatta4526d ago

Probably because a sequel.. even to an aweful game (which FFXIII wasn't in my opinion) of an established franchise is much less a risk then a new IP.

Plus were likely to see new IPs with the new generation of consoles as opposed to the tail end of this gen

Money. Reusing resources, story, characters, graphics if not game mechanics, they figure they make more.

Nevermind that its ruined their reputation. That sales of the sequels are selling less than new IPs under their brand.

I keep seeing Lightning returns and thinking its talking about Metal Gear Rising Dx

It would be nice if they had the lottery in other parts of the world as well.

I’m hoping Xbox Showcase will be where the Remake gets announced… freaking all this stuff with FF9’s anniversary and still nothing on the Remake…

Why do we think this is coming out on Switch 2 before Xbox? Any thoughts? The S2 is not more powerful than the Series S so it’s not a ‘lack of power’ issue. Perhaps the sales forecast is higher on S2 than Xbox so that’s maybe where their priority lies?

It’s definitely a sales issue. If Xbox didn’t have players used to GamePass I bet it would be there already.

The fact people will buy it. Xbox gamers generally have minimal interest in this series. Portable Final Fantasy will go down a storm in Japan where the switch sells huge numbers

Hamaguchi states not just the remake but the entire FF7 remake series.

The Switch 2 version is really beautiful. It looked as good as the PS5 version.
