I feel betrayed by Square Enix

So have you guys ever felt cheated by the gaming industry?

For me, the worst case just happened. I just received news that the Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy is now coming to the Nintendo Switch II. :(

FF7 is a distinctly PlayStation franchise and should never appear on any other platform.

It's just not right. FF7 made the PlayStation and the PlayStation made FF7.

I feel lost right now, but hopefully the Japanese will boycott this egregious decision by Square Enix.

Cloud and Sephiroth are more well known from the Nintendo exclusive Super Smash Bros franchise than FF7 so it makes sense to move away from PlayStation.

Maybe FF7R should have sold way more than it did on Playstation. For the kind of game it is, the budget, the hype and production value the game has sold poorly.

Thus, Nintendo to the rescue.
 
I agree with OP.

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 FFVII Remake Trilogy 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 FFVII Remake Trilogy for the Switch or you can kiss your business goodbye.




Sorry, someone had to do it! 😉

There's no way to put Rebirth on Switch2. And the 3rd part won't make it there either. Intergrade on Switch2 is basically marketing for the Playstation trilogy.
 
You should feel betrayed because they have shit action combat systems in FFXV/XVI vs. good turn based system...

Expection 33 is a way better "Final Fantasy" game than those mentioned above.

All games should be in all systems. Joke topic or not. This console warrior BS is old and pointless. Wanting to gate-keep games made by companies on systems as a consumer is dumb or to put more frankly fucking stupid.

While this whole thread is clearly a joke, let's make it even funnier by using facts!

FF7 was developed for the N64 before that relationship fell apart and it moved over to the PS1.

Eh, that was too early in development to be considered a real thing.

That's like saying GTA III could've been on the Dreamcast. 🍥

Nintendo's 64 never had enough storage space with the cartridge format for Square to take that platform seriously. 😑

Dude, you do realize that Final Fantasy was born on the original Nintendo entertainment system. It was also a big franchise on the super Nintendo entertainment system, as well as the game boy. The only reason why it went over to PlayStation is because Nintendo stuck with cartridges. So now you see how Nintendo fans feel when a franchise that was born on our console jump ship and goes to your system. No Final Fantasy is not a PlayStation franchise. It is a square Enix franchise. Just because you were born in the time where these third-party games were on your system exclusively doesn't mean these franchises like metal gear or Final Fantasy was born on PlayStation. Yes they became extremely popular on the console, but they was not born on the PlayStation consoles, these are third-party franchises, which means they could come with any console. You need to stop putting your faith in third-party so much because third parties can go where ever the wind blows.
 
Bro, I hate to be the one to tell you. The gaming industry is going broke! Many companies will not survive what is coming.

Unfortunately, some gaming companies chased teens during the pandemic and were looking for the next big thing, and it hasn't worked out.


These companies need to have as much access to gamers as possible. Which means going to every platform.


What are you going to say if we see First party Sony titles on PC and Nintendo?!
 
I feel your terrible, soul shattering, pain OP. I had this same feeling some years ago when Tomb Raider had some exclusive shit going to Xbox. I felt like someone threw my throbbing heart in a rusty woodchipper, how could they betray PS, betray the Ponies, stab the whole world in the back...but luckily I had my sticky Lara Croft body pillow to comfort me and dry up my bitter tears.

Hopefully our hearts will mend over time and we'll learn to love and trust again. 😢

Remember, kids! Get attached to the games. Never the box you played them on. That's like falling in love with LA because that's where your wife let you do anal for the first time and now you're mad because she wants to do anal while you're in NYC. Or maybe it isn't, but I REALLY wanted to do an ANAL-ogy.
