Thats what majority of xbox owners are screaming, and since they are all conditioned to not buy games anymore, ofc same will happen with those 2, hell ff16 bombed hard since it only sold 3,5m copies total on both pc and ps5(compared to 10m sold copies for ff15- official data) , so it really needs even that additional 500k copies sold but hard to say if this port will give them at least that- imho very unlikely and it will only sell 100 maybe 200k copies max...
 
Do not buy FFXVI it is utter dogshit.

Remake is kinda meh but I guess you need to play it to enjoy Rebirth which is a lot better overall (most of the time).

i never liked this ff15 comparisons, back at the day the install base for the game was way bigger and it was multiplat, but yeah, selling more copies would make SE happy, but i already did my part, bought on PS5 day 1.

I'll probably pick it up on Xbox, but I would like it as a play anywhere title or even one of those buy it and stream it games.

Edit: shows how much I pay attention. Both have Play Anywhere and Cloud Gamimg. I'm so in!

Damn Xbox really is the Final Fantasy console. Takes some time sometimes but 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10-2, 12, 13 trilogy, 14, 15 and now 16, 7R and FF tactica

Sounds surprising but 100% true.

13 also got enhanced fmv and 4K, plus some games only playable at 60 on console here (13-2, lightning returns, zodiac age).
 
I just don't see these games selling remotely well on the XBox for the obvious reasons. Weren't the sales even disappointing for the PlayStation and PC versions?
 
It's a shame that this wasn't reversed. I'm extremely interested in FFVII Remake and in fact have been holding out on it for five years now, waiting for an Xbox port. Finally!!

Having said that I have absolutely 0 interest in FF XVI so it being a shadow drop has left me completely flaccid and a little bummed. But I've waited 5+ years to play FFVII Remake so what is another 6 months 🤷‍♂️

And if it runs well on Xbox Ally X I'm double stoked being able to swap between my Series X and a high-end handheld seamlessly.
 
Square just shot themselves in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the japanese public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase FFXVI for either system, nor will they purchase any of Square's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Square has alienated an entire market with this move.

Square, publicly apologize and cancel FFVIIR for XBOX or you can kiss your business goodbye.

Square is now the town bicycle of publishers. They just had to double down and create DLC than sell its body around town.

Which is silly, just as silly as how Gears, Halo, Forza are all of a sudden great games for those folks.

These have always been great games. Platform wars are pathetic.

what are you guys talking about? I do not see anyone saying FF16 is suddenly great. it's a big pile of shit and will always be the biggest pile of shit square has ever shitted out....

FF7 remake is good though. 👍
 
Considering average Xbox user not buying games due to gamepass, and considering how sh1tty FF 16 is, i expect zero sales for this game.

The vast majority of gamers and critics both like it. You don't get that often nowadays for such a high profile AAA game.

So that people don't get confused with your wording.

The Standard Edition is $49.99.

The Complete Edition is $69.99.

Whoops my bad, disregard my post.

I misread and thought it was all in a single package.
 
there is a demo for anyone curious. It does use the trigger rumble which is a surprise. it also looks a tad sharper than the base ps5 version but i could be wrong I haven't played it in forever. Its still 99% cutscenes and little actual game . :messenger_downcast_sweat:

It is weird they did that, given that they did not for Remake.

Prices are btw the same as Steam and PSN's MSRP.

Yeah it should be discounted with the complete version by now.

But then again Square also launched Octopath 2 at full price 2 years later.

Good to see FF7 and FF16 come to Xbox i just hope Xbox players actually buy it for the console to show SE that there is an audience for them on Xbox.

I would have buy them on Xbox years ago... But I ended up buying them on Ps5, your argument makes no sense in this context.

That's just how games are priced these days. Maybe they will do sales... the Complete Edition has been on sale on Steam 4 times already this year, the last ended May 12th. It was $45.

The only thing missing now is a confirmation of that FF9 remake.

Speaking of - pretty much every single Final Fantasy is now on Xbox - wild to think about.
I waited years for the FF Pixel Remasters to Xbox, and that happened - now the tail end of the series.

Slight off topic adamsapple adamsapple - and you seem the one to ask - but is there any chance Shin Megami Tensei III - Nocturne releases on Xbox?

I think it's way too late for that now. If it was going to happen, it'd have happened before or shortly after SMTV or Soul Hacker 2.

Yep, as mentioned earlier, Xbox also has the best console version(s) of multiple FF games as well by default. Surprisingly, if one wants a single console with all those games, Series S|X are the best options.

Series S has a single 30fps performance mode and seems to be running pretty much locked at it.

I remember some folks on Gaf had major concerns with how this could possibly run on Series S, back in the day. Looks like they did a pretty good job with this version.
