Squenix: No Plans to Release FFVII Remake for Other Platforms
- Thread starter Jawbreaker
- Start date
that would mean that the "first on PS4" stuff... meant PS5.
Your reasoning sounds actually more believable than xbox staff just making a mistake posting a video of a game not announced on their platform, how can you even do something like that without realising it.
You are literally proving my point. It was misleading messaging that raised questions. Seems like Jason believed the game was full on exclusive initially. I am sure play it first on PS4 when remake was announced back in 2015 clearly indicated multiplatform game because no one was thinking about ps5 at that time.Well, they just said "first on Playstation 4".
It doesn't tell us anything. It doesn't tell us which platform ? What if it was First on PS4 then PS5 ?
Why am I not seeing Geoff running everywhere to ask Sony representatives ?
Why am I not seeing Jason claiming Sony is paying Square Enix to keep FFVII from other platforms ?

Could be that they already planned on a PS5 release, hence the "first on PS4" thing.
You mean the franchise that started on the Nintendo system and the original game that is already also on the PC, Android, Switch , Xbox...
True because Square never thought a PS5 was coming down the line.
You are going to have to wait a few years for the answer. If it actually does release on other platforms, you aren't likely to see it until 2021 at the earliest, so just learn patience.
Something all SE fans should have in abundance

PlayStation has in recent months -removed a lot of mentions in regards to exclusivity of games when it comes to trailers of their games. Official marketing trailers for Days Gone, Medievil, etc - all no longer has "Only on PlayStation' labels on them.
Lmao great counter point. You got me. I am sure square is thinking about ps6 and ps7 at this time as well.
Days gone and medieval too? Don't remember seeing those. My gut feeling is that we are going to see day 1 streaming through psnow of their games going forward and hence the only on Playstation doesn't make much sense. They did hint there will be a big push for psnow starting this fall iirc. Also don't mean day 1 available on psnow subscription like game pass but more like a $60 version available for streaming like stadia is about to offer.
It wasn't me who got you, it was Square and Sony. It's the same muddied waters as Tomb Raider becuase that's how these deals work. Sony and Microsoft are not going to pay for marketing and then want Square to spills the beans and talk about other platforms. It's obvious some will try and dedend this decsion more than the Tomb Raider deal when they are both designed to do one thing. Exclude others!
in 2015 they were thinking about PS5? nah, I still stick to my predicition back in 2015, this is no more then a 30 day exclusive for Sony. It'll arrive on Xbox and PC within a month of release.
I don't think so, Sony will make sure the Xbox version is at least 6 mobths away and most likely 1 year. That's their main competition.
People should not trust Square Enix words lol
"Exclusive holiday 2015" is more definitive than "play it first on PlayStation"
A little surprised that it wont come to the XBox...I mean they launched all the new stuff on it,even a better version then on the PS4 for XII,they did Maxima for World of FF etc etc...I think we havent heard the last of this...
its more about sony getting rid of the branding itself rather than a change in strategy. they even had uncharted 4 with a console exclusive label once, their labeling team just sucks.
first off, LOL at 30 day exclusivity.
second, they were thinking about the PS5, because the game was planned in parts. i dont think they ever planned on finishing all the parts on PS4.
Yep. It always ends up being the exact opposite of what the pr says.
I do not disagree with you with regards to the end goal being exclude others but the outrage with ms/square on tomb raider was because they used the word exclusive when they announced it and decided to make it worse by repeating it when asked for clarification. Transparency is better than being misleading. Play it first on PS4 is as transparent as you can get in these sort of shitty deals.
30 days woud be a joke and completely unrealistic. Year at minimum for PC. Xbox not even guaranteed to get it, but same time frame if so.
There was no outrage when Dead Rising 4 was exclusive for year. Or when Cuphead went "full exclusive" only to be released on Switch too.

Square made several effort to bail out of the FF being Playstation exclusive, starting with making several spin-off.
Then when they could finally do it, they started throwing mainline FF everywhere as you can see with the HD ports/remakes, I have no doubt this is a timed exclusive as they wouldn't want to be stuck to a single platform again but the details will remain unknown for a long time.
30 days is way too short though.
1 year probably
Atleast on PC it will release, would bet in PC/Xbox. People thinking Switch/Switch 2 are being too optimistic.
A year and 4 months. FFXV came out on consoles in November 2016, and on PC in March 2018.
Edited in original comment but I meant a streaming version available for 60$. I don't see them being available as part of subscription day 1 tho like gamepass. Probably atleast a year before they put those as part of a subscription.
They are very clear, they are saying no plans and all of you are insisting this is not the case ~__~ it will come to PC but now i think it is safe to assume this game won't release on Xbox One.
i mean, sure it could release after 5 or 10 years on other platforms but are you going to wait years to play the game?
exclusivity sucks but this is the case here, if you want to play FFVIIR you have to have PS4.

Which is a bunch of bullshit. Just tell us ahead of time it's coming early instead of lying.
It's not like they are gonna say it'll release on other platforms later, they want everyone to buy it now, pretty sure it'll release on Xbox too, the mainline series has been multi platform since 12 and there is no reason to change now.
Who, Sony or Square?
(crosses fingers)
It's not too far fetched to think Square also might follow in the footsteps of Ubisoft and partner with Stadia.
It's clearly coming to Xbox. A mainline Final Fantasy hasn't missed the platform since the 360. This game has a budget at least on par with XB/KH3. PS4 alone isn't gonna get them the return they want.
Might be because Dead Rising 4 wasn't a game people cared about (althought Microsoft quickly clarified the lenght of the deal) They did for Tomb Raider though. And as you mentionned Cuphead:
I dont see anything of the sort for FFVII remake or Death Stranding. It's almost as if it was fine in one hand but not on the other.
Then again, I dont see the big sites on a mission to ask Square Enix or Sony.
since 12? ff7 launched on PC in 1998 lol, a few months later after the ps release.
I hope this Remake will remains exclusive forever like MGS4, if not at least on consoles (Epic Store xclusivity for the lulz)
FFVII is an iconical game for the playstation nation and must stay always under our wings.
And yeah I'm still traumatized for the infamous BETRAYALTON of FFXIII, so many laughs, so many humillations....never again.

Nearly every single other FF on PC says otherwise, but if you guys wanna keep fibbing to cushion those PS4 numbers, go for it. I waited for Red Dead, I'll wait for this too. (Though I've almost bought RDR2 twice off the PS Store in the last month...)
We have no idea what the deal between Sony and Square is. There's a pretty high chance that Sony might be partially funding the game like they did with Street Fighter V. Accusing them of "paying to delay it elsewhere" is dumb.
I don't get it. They said it was a timed exclusive the day they announced they're making it.
If you don't own a PS4, or like me, would prefer to play it on another platform like the PC, just wait until they announce those versions. It'll probably be a year, year and a half, max.
