that would mean that the "first on PS4" stuff... meant PS5.That is interesting. Supports what I heard that Sony bought full exclusivity to the game, though I would still expect it on PC in a couple of years or so. This game is important to the "history" of the PS platform
Im no insider though. Guess we will see in a few years
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.The state of exclusivity for this game is so weird.
Announced with First on Ps4
State of Play trailer no mention of any exclusivity even though you would think Sony espcially would push this
E3 First on Ps4 again and with a new Press Release
First on Ps4 so obviously means other platforms later.
Now SE says no other platforms planned so why was this ever announced as First on Ps4 if other platforms aren't something they are thinking of. They could have just said from the beginning it is only coming to Ps4 for now with nothing else planned but you never know.
Why would SE out of nowhere word things in a way that changes the exclusivity from obviously timed to well maybe it will be on another platform but nothing is planned.
The only thing that would make sense to me is if this is a next gen thing again where no one can talk about next gen. So its not coming to Xbox 1 in like early 2020 but the next Xbox
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 ?

Lmao great counter point. You got me. I am sure square is thinking about ps6 and ps7 at this time as well.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.
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.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.

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.Could be that they already planned on a PS5 release, hence the "first on PS4" thing.
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.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.
"Exclusive holiday 2015" is more definitive than "play it first on PlayStation"It says in that article that people were pissed with the shady words used by Microsoft, calling it exclusive then back peddling and using weird marketing words that confused people, whereas SE and Sony have been clearer with FFVII by saying it's coming first to PlayStation and that there are no plans for the game to launch on other platforms on March 3rd. That is concrete information.
Reading comprehension I take it?So neither are you are supportive of it coming to Switch or Xbox I take it?
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.Days gone and medieval too?

first off, LOL at 30 day exclusivity.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.
Yep. It always ends up being the exact opposite of what the pr says.Well, that's a lie - it'll definitely release on other platforms down the line.
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.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.
And yet the situation is the same in the end, Sony is paying to delay the game elsewhere. Why did it become okay ?
Square made several effort to bail out of the FF being Playstation exclusive, starting with making several spin-off.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.

How long did it take for FFXV to release on PC after PS4? That could give us an idea on when/if it could release on another platform.

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.
Which is a bunch of bullshit. Just tell us ahead of time it's coming early instead of lying.I'm getting flashbacks to the Crash N. Sane Trilogy PS4 exclusivity nonsense.
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.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.
Who, Sony or Square?
I think it will launch on ps4, then the ps5 and then at a later date on the pc.
Well I think will come to the PS5, too. So that's at least two platforms :)

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.
since 12? ff7 launched on PC in 1998 lol, a few months later after the ps release.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.
FFVII is an iconical game for the playstation nation and must stay always under our wings.
And yet the situation is the same in the end, Sony is paying to delay the game elsewhere. Why did it become okay ?
