Final Fantasy VII Remake Trilogy May Be Headed To Xbox, But There Is Currently No Active Development

Square Enix's Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy may be headed to Xbox, though there is currently no active development taking place.

That's like me saying. Well Gears E Day is to playstation. No active development and I don't know if it's for PS5 or 6 or even 7.

Edit: Don't take any notice to what Jez says. He is a known to say BS. He was the one who was adamant that Microsoft are not releasing any Xbox exclusives on playstation and the rumours are all fanboy talk. Then a month later Microsoft announced the 4 games and then 6 months later we now know it's more than just 4 games.

I believe that the Final Fantasy VII will be console-exclusive to PlayStation until after all three parts of the series have been released. I base this on Sony having some kind of strong financial involvement, whether this be just the known marketing or perhaps contributing to development costs, and the fact that FFVIIR was released in 2020 and four years later hasn't been released on Xbox - which is beyond a standard one or two year exclusivity window.

[Profchaos]

Absolutely jez has the emotional regulation of a toddler and a unhealthy obsession with Microsoft and not just gaming but everything they do.

His tantrums and noni didn't say that behaviour lately has many questioning is his position in the leak tier list should be downgraded

[Michiel1989]

except gears is owned by a platformholder and final fantasy isn't, but except for that one point you were trying to make you're right.

It's obvious square will now go multiplat, it honestly just depends whats in their contract with sony if 3rd part will come to xbox or not.

Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core is already available for Xbox Series S|X. An annoucement of the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy would be no big surprise.

Big difference. I'm not sure how the Series S could even handle Rebirth and then there's part 3.

[andy85]

And look how many have been delayed because of all the work that had to be put into the S version. Absolutely isn't worth them doing that work.

[MrNinosan]

@FactFace
That we know about? Wukong and Enotria, but most likely more 👍

[Asterphoenix]

Big difference actually Sony helped a lot support wise with the development of the FF7 Remake, same with Rebirth and the 3rd game likely too. Crisis Core Reunion was fully done by Square Enix.

FF16 I been hearing lots of rumors of it going to Xbox Series it makes sense with the PC release coming soon and Naoki said they wanted to bring it to Xbox. So FF16 is possible.

Interested in the difference between FF16 and the FF7 Remake series exclusive deal.

[Hofstaderman]

I'm still waiting for the FFXVI announcement some blowhards were throwing around here....

[andy85]

Starfield had a 6.8 user rating which is inherently a bad score. FF16 had 8.0. Big difference.

[andy85]

"Both are in the 80s so they are bad games". Wow what an opinion 😂 that mist mean Horizon Zero Dawn is a bad game too. /s

[andy85]

Just realised you're an alt only here to troll. Guess that shows why your opinions are absolutely nonsense 😂 good day.

[Terry_B]

As Squall would say: Whatever.

[Knightofelemia]

It will be a long time before it does or if it even appears on an Xbox. No one knows how long Sony has the trilogy locked as an exclusive.

[MrNinosan]

They had 1 year in Remake and 3 months on Rebirth.

[Hofstaderman]

Thats for release on PC?

[MrNinosan]

@Hof
Nah, that was the exclusivity deal.
After 1 year/3 months, Square can release on any platform.

The reason they haven't released on Xbox is however pretty obvious.

[franwex]

Once they are done with the last part, then they may start porting it to every platform that can play it.

By then Xbox may not even have a console.

[CrimsonWing69]

I would imagine once the trilogy is done they’ll just dump them all on Xbox and call it some compilation edition

[jwillj2k4]

Maybe on the next xbox if anyone even buys it. No reason to have crunch for a series s when sales numbers to give enough reason to.

[Giga_Gaia]

Pretty sure it's never going to happen. They're not even giving them FFXVI. Square-Enix only seems to give Xbox the scraps.

[andy85]

Just can't see why they'd do all that work for such tiny sales. It'd struggle on the S as well

[Profchaos]

I think it's a given the game will eventually become multi plat it was only a timed exclusive after all. These games are extremely expensive to make and they are not meeting sales expectations despite the high quality so I think it's an absolute given there will be ports of the more important entries in the last few years from vii remake, rebirth but likely starting with xvi

[TheColbertinator]

Nobody cares. Bring FF7 Rebirth to Steam quickly.

[SimpleDad]

I believe, at some point, there was a plan to port it, but recent shift of MS games to PS told Square that the only option is Gamepass.

[Asterphoenix]

Well I see it's not currently in development for Xbox Series until there's an announcement and there's a big deal with Sony on the development of the FF7 series remake. FF16 from the sounds of the rumors seems like it's possible with Naoki saying they're considering it. Jez has been saying it for way too long it's getting irritating.

[Youngindy21]

Probably have to wait until the Tokyo Game Show. I imagine they'll port XVI first and gauge what type of reception it gets on Xbox before deciding if it's worth it to port the FFVII trilogy.

[Hofstaderman]

These multiple accounts. Will you still create these after XBOX is gone? Time will tell. Albeit, very little time.

[gold_drake]

i wouldnt take anything, what the xbox podcast people say, too serious.

cause according to them, everything comes to xbox one day. so, yeh.

[Bhuahahaha]

i may win the lottery but i didnt buy ticket yet 😁

[Neonridr]

so Corden is wrong because he's speculating, but then the counter-argument is pure speculation as well.

Interesting

[Miraak82]

One day lol , I mean the og FF7 took over 20 years to come to xb , took 10 years for ff14 to get ported. Basically the people that really wanted to play FF bought a PS as it's been associated with PS for over 25 years now while pc users should always expect them about a year later . Honestly I don't see it happening until the trilogy is completed and gets a ps5pro patch/ps6 (next XB if it's a thing) rerelease that plays at full graphics at 60 fps. If I was SE I'd be on "wait and see" mode as far as XB as a console is concerned as these games are getting really big with 150gb+ file sizes and I doubt they'll get any physical releases which will greatly hinder sales . Next gen rerelease would be the safest bet as they wouldn't has to account for SerieS

[FlintGREY]

Remember the MGS4 release and how they swore Xbox would get it one day.....

[Miraak82]

Actually they may get it if they add it to the MGS master collection 2 whenever they release it but you know 16+ years later lol

[jznrpg]

Any game may come to another platform someday. What a headline
