I goddamn called it

EDIT: Wording is weird tho. Is that confirming Day 1 multiplatform for Part 3, or that Part 3 just eventually arrives on other platforms (presumably not long after PS)?

Considering Rebirth technically had a 3-month exclusivity terms, I'm inclined to believe it means Part 3 is Day 1 multiplat, but the wording is odd.

 

[NeverYouMind]

Trilogy my ass. They aren't going to release the finale for years.

 

[Sojiro]

Good to see, I am jumping in with remake for the first time when it hits the Switch 2 and hopefully I like it enough to continue with the next two.

 

[Adam_802]

Multiplat day 1 nice

 

[Loomy]

Are they saying Remake, Rebirth, 3rd game will be released on everything, or are they saying Remake, Intergrade, Rebirth, are going to be released on everything?

What are they counting as the remake trilogy here?

 

[Woopah]

This is what was expected, but good to see it confirmed.

 

[Oblivion78]

This just seemed obvious to me but here we are.

 

[Kacho]

havoc00 we so backin' right now?

Cool to see but I'm not a fan of this remake trilogy. Easy pass.

Icon's gonna be seething over this for a while

 

[Deerock71]

Trilogy my ass. They aren't going to release the finale for years.

This will be the longest generation.

 

[LordCBH]

Nice!!

 

[Zacfoldor]

Switch 2 3rd party support starting to build steam.

 

[Unknown?]

Part 3 will sell the worst out of all of them. They should not have split it up to milk it.

 

[Fbh]

Cool, third party console exclusives are dumb.
I only worry about the technical side. They already struggled when they were making it only for Ps5, releasing it on Switch 2, SS, SX and PC simultaneously is going to be more demanding.

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

Switch 2 3rd party support starting to build steam.

TBF, Square-Enix were very consistent with the original Switch, so this isn't surprising.

If and when we start seeing pubs like SEGA/Atlus, Capcom or especially Western pubs like EA and Take 2 increasing their Switch 2 output, I think that's when we can say 3P support is well & truly building steam (and ahead of what the Switch got).

 

[PauloRoberto]

This only shows that FF as a brand is not as strong is it used to be, and absolutely not strong as Square believes it is.

 

[Kacho]

Part 3 will sell the worst out of all of them. They should not have split it up to milk it.

That was more of a production reality because of the scope.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

But will it release day one everywhere? That sentence is weird as hell.

 

[Neff]

Really hope they don't have to gimp the Highwind stuff in part 3 to accomodate Switch 2/Series S because the developers mentioned that it was going to be a major hurdle even for upper end formats.

Still, good that more people get to play Remake and especially Rebirth.

 

[paolo11]

Problem is that it's gkc ( Amazon JP states it it's GKC)

 

[Lokaum D+]

now everyone can be frustrate on how bad and bloated this game is

 

[Kacho]

But will it release day one everywhere? That sentence is weird as hell.

Square is done with platform exclusives unless they state otherwise

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

Also the fact they're announcing other platforms this early adds credence to the fact it'll be Day 1 on them. It logically doesn't make any business sense to announce additional platforms for a timed exclusive, before the initial version of the game even launches.

I'm more than sure any timed exclusivity deal would have a contract forbidding that type of open discussion, for various reasons.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Square is done with platform exclusives unless they state otherwise

I hope so. Final Fantasy deserves more than being in a single platform.

 

[adamsapple]

But will it release day one everywhere? That sentence is weird as hell.

I think it does.

They would have mentioned it releasing on PS5 first and then other platforms later.

 

[Tobimacoss]

Are they saying Remake, Rebirth, 3rd game will be released on everything, or are they saying Remake, Intergrade, Rebirth, are going to be released on everything?

What are they counting as the remake trilogy here?

Remake Intergrade coming to Xbox and Switch in January. Rebirth is expected around December 2026. And the part 3 of the trilogy will be multi platform Day 1. And SE will likely do a trilogy bundle then.

Got it.

What a shitty way to announce this.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Final Fantasy belongs on Nintendo consoles.

 

[Topher]

Klobrille says it supports Play Anywhere

 

[RetroGamingUK]

Trilogy my ass. They aren't going to release the finale for years.

Likely 2028, same engine

 

[Baemono]

What is « Xbox On PC » ?

 

[adamsapple]

Klobrille says it support Play Anywhere

They added in cheats for this release too.

Hallelujah! No more grinding hell house.

What is « Xbox On PC » ?

A rebranding of the Windows PC store moniker.

 

[Woopah]

Are they saying Remake, Rebirth, 3rd game will be released on everything, or are they saying Remake, Intergrade, Rebirth, are going to be released on everything?

What are they counting as the remake trilogy here?

Remake, Rebirth and the unannounced third game.

 

[Tobimacoss]

Klobrille says it support Play Anywhere

Yes



Both Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined and FF7 Remake Intergrade are Play Anywhere, most likely with xCloud support included.

The FF7 Intergrade also includes copies of FF7 Xbox and windows editions.

Btw, I think it's safe to say MS is asking publishers to use the "Xbox On PC" branding for the MS Store, and "Xbox PC" will likely be used for the AMD powered Xbox PC hardware.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Amazing! We've thought this, hoped for this, assumed this, but great to have the confirmation.

 

[Sushi_Combo]

Excited for Part 3

 

[NuclearDiarrhea]

Likely 2028, same engine

Probably 2027 for the 30th anniversary.

 

[DreamcastSkies]

Rebirth definitely has bloat. It centers around regions with a lot of optional content (I would say some of that optional content is highly recommended for world development, party bonding and leveling up) but the game is so worth it.

 

[mèx]

Let's see if Part 3 will be day one on all platforms. Maybe Square Enix stopped being allergic to money.

 

[TheAtomicPile]

Square just shot themselves in the foot.

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Good that means PC should get a day 1 release.

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Late 2026 or 2027 at the latest.

 

[Punished Miku]

Yes

SQEX has been pretty good about it. Strangely, DQI+II isn't. FFT isn't. Triangle Strategy is.

I'm definitely more likely to buy it if its PA.

 

[Luipadre]

part 3 day 1 on PC please... i know its not happening but still

 

[Neofire]

I'm glad part 3 is coming but I don't like that the switch 2 version and Xbox is going to slow the PlayStation 5 version down.

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

Trilogy my ass. They aren't going to release the finale for years.

Yep, it will 100% be cross-gen. Probably with an Intergrade type of upgrade, like PS5. I hope the exclusivity removal means they will actually hit their sales targets.

 

[TheChadOfGaming]

part 3 day 1 release on pc please

 

[playbignbox]

After Rebirth failed to meet Square's financial expectations by releasing it as a PlayStation exclusive, this is the right decision. I have no doubt that the final installment will sell at least twice as much as Rebirth at launch.
