This is obviously about console presence.Stranger of paradise is multiplatform
FF16 is coming to PC
FFVII Remake is on PC

Does PC not exist or is this just only for Xbox?
With PS5 game sales cratering in Japan, that would be a very expensive deal for Sony to make. It might be the case in the short-term, but I doubt it will last long term.
FF7R was the "fastest selling PS4 exclusive".Are they even that big? Personably FFXVI isn't really much of a draw compared to stuff like Naughty Dog's games, Insomniac's games, Ghost of Tsushima, Gran Turismo…
I don't know, maybe I'm underestimating how popular the franchise is but I have a hard time many people would make a purchasing decision based on Final Fantasy.
OP is about console exclusivity, which all new mainline FFs (XVI, 7R and even XIV) + Forspoken are.Stranger of paradise is multiplatform

Same with a ton of big Japanese publishers. Long term they want their big I.P franchises to have a global reach and success like MH Hunter World.Think Square cares more about international sales for FF than Japan at this point.
When did that come out?
The Final Fantasy games were once strongly associated with Nintendo, as Square Enix released the first six games in the series exclusively on the NES and Super Nintendo systems. However, things changed when Sony introduced the PS1, with Square Enix jumping ship to release Final Fantasy games exclusively on PlayStation up until Final Fantasy 11 was released on PC and Final Fantasy 13 launched for Xbox 360.
Didn't FF7 come to PC?

Ok and they're further locking that down.Yeah, but that's a remake people were asking for for ages, and of one of the most acclaimed games of all time. I really, really doubt XVI is going to sell as well. Was XV one of the best selling games of the generation?
PC is not counting, even 1st party Sony games are coming to PC.Stranger of paradise is multiplatform

This. Cover marketing. Maybe get one of their inhouse PC porting studios to do the PC version.So what would they have to do? Cover the predicted sales of FF sales on Xbox and then some? Should be pretty cheap relatively speaking.

1. Console exclusivity, PC isn't in the same conversation, you can see how their PC ports are doing.
2. They didn't show the next PS5 title because Final Fantasy hasn't been shown yet, and was supposed to by this point.
3. (because folk on reddit had been guessing this) it's not Kingdom Hearts.
Thank god it's the worst FF.How about getting the pixel remaster on your console first huh
and also the FF13 trilogy being playable on an Xbox and not on a PS5 is fucking disgrade

Well depends how you define popularity. FF is one of the biggest RPG IPs on the market and has one of the biggest MMOs on the market.
I usually base my purchase decision for consoles soley on it.
Which is why I said FF7R "was the 'fastest-selling PS4 exclusive'"? TLOU 2 is the fastest selling Ps4 exclusive.
Spiderman and God of War sales were faster than FF7R.
