Rumor: Sony Wants Final Fantasy Games Exclusively on PS5 This Generation

Well give me all the RPG IPs that sell at minimum 6M each entry. Because thats where FF is at for over 2 decades now.
Well after the FFVII Remake PC port debacle I probably won't be buying their shit EGS exclusive PC versions, so no change for me. I do wish SE would make better PC ports, but I may as well wish for monkeys to fly out of my butt too.
As someone who'll likely own all of them at some point, still fuck 'em
That's true, I didn't like XV at all and XII was also just ok. Still it feels like things are picking up. 7R is great, XIV is one of the best jRPGs/MMOs ever made and everything we know about XVI sounds very promising.
However, I just don't think this is good news if we look at the picture. How long until MS makes another big move and Sony has to retaliate? There goes another bunch of big third party games available on every platform. Of course it's not the only reason, but it kinda feels like Zenimax got the ball rolling and there's no stopping this.
Not an FF game, just a game that would potentially divert focus from FF16, which is the main focus rn.
honestly? I'm thinking his is BEYOND violent. This is gore.
This is Unleashed Sony.
Hmm. That sounds pretty nuts. Must be a pretty big IP, then.
I mean, most games haven't sold as well as Skyrim. I highly doubt Sony see Square as filling that kind of gap.
It's becoming more and more likely that FF7r doesn't come to Xbox at all.

I think the ball was already starting to roll, once you look at the big acquisations over the past few years. Zenimax was notable due to size and being first party.
It definitely lit a fire though and that's why you're going to keep seeing developers getting picked up.
Zynga to Take Two today is going to be normal business within the next few years.
So "supportive" that they'll keep them from other players. If this was a relationship, Reddit would be on fire telling her to dump him.
Maybe that's what I takes to stop the NFTs.
Yea. Honestly would rather this than tencent or someone else outright buying them.
Feels good owning pretty much all major consoles + PC. Don't have to worry bout SHIT!
Yeah exactly, I see Sony making multiple deals like this since they can't afford a Bethesda scale acquisition.
Yeah… Bethesda games being exclusive to Xbox is going to hurt. They need to do something… personally wish they'd fund a few original FPS/FPRPG games because PS5 is going to be seriously lacking at the end of the gen (no more Doom, Wolfenstein, Fallout, Elder Scrolls… Starfield etc).
Bethesda games are still going to Steam on day 1. They will sell just fine.

But I expect such deals to ramp up, not slow down. Everyone is in hyper-spending mode right now.
Dang; guess Sony really wanted Gex 4 as a console exclusive.
I'd rather see them put all that money into first party like making their own RPGs, but what do I know.
I don't think FF specifically moves the needle much. Maybe it gets some xbox-only people to buy a complimentary PS5, but it doesn't mean it makes them change primary platforms (which is where the money is). And I don't think this move prevents a PS-only user from buying an Xbox either. "Well I can't play the next Elder Scrolls or Starfield but at least I have FF16" said nobody. Neither is a replacement for the other.
So I guess I don't see the point of a generation-spanning moneyhat. 1 year? Sure... that's Sony bread and butter at this point. But permanent 3rd party exclusive makes no sense to me when they're not the publisher.

Not surprised at all. The next Kingdom Hearts will probably have some sort of exclusivity too.
Sony and Square seem real chummy right now.
