I hear Xbox fans want Forspoken on Xbox. SE should prioritize this instead.

Jez Corden suggests final Fantasy 7 Remake and Final Fantasy 16 might be coming to Xbox afterall

I think the games have lost their hype, but it's nice for Xbox players to have the option to play them, I really liked both.
Regarding sales, I believe that Xbox will increase the number of copies sold by a maximum of 10%... which would be a potential of approximately 1kk for both games combined, in addition to a possible deal on Game Pass and addition to xCloud... since the costs of ports are low, I believe it's worth it.

I wonder if FFXVI will have better IQ on the stronger Xbox Series X

I'm certain that DF would be make that case if ever comes out.
Just a few days ago they tried telling they created similar pc settings and got like for like performance with wukong.
Anyone with working eyes can see its not nearly the same image quality and the framerate is 10% behind. But since they are not hindered by knowledge or reality, wild claims are made.
Could even be thread on it's own. Because the video is wild.

Spot on analysis.This dude really can't keep Final Fantasy's dick out of his mouth, can he?
Endlessly obsessed, yet doesn't even play the games. He's gonna keep saying this until sometime at last, it becomes true, just in time to tell his grandchildren.
Bingo. It finally hit me earlier this year when Phil Spencer was crying about Helldivers 2, and I just thought "Why do we spend so much time talking about Xbox? Is it natural or by design?"
Turns out it's by design; MS and shills/influencers in the media keep revolving gaming topics around Xbox, even when Xbox has nothing to do with the topic at hand...unless it's a failure for one of the other brands (mainly PlayStation) in which case they're fine with just focusing on that platform (like we just saw with Concord).
But particularly any time it looks like there are big new exclusive releases and incoming actual news for PlayStation coming around, suddenly we start hearing about these Xbox "rumors" that 80% of the time never manifest into anything substantial. It's not about if they become true; it's simply about keeping Xbox in the conversation.
There's a reason I've been intently not talking about Xbox that much since earlier this year; I didn't want to be part of the problem.

I couldn’t care less homie. Thanks for the attention though. I don’t get enough.

If the cost of ports were low, the games would've been there by now.
Yeah, it all shows how Microsoft don't have the mentality of a market leader, so then when I see some people theorizing and hoping and begging they become a market leader, I'm just like...why? To see them drop the ball in record time?
A company like Microsoft becoming the market leader would do some major, irreversible harm to the market, because the way they've been conducting themselves as a 3rd-place platform shows they don't have the leadership to maintain a lead long-term or do what's best for the market even if they somehow got lucky. I'd rather companies that have proven (much more often than not) they have their shit together, and carry their platform & partners well even when times get hard (i.e PS3, 3DS) get the market share and mindshare they've earned.
Thankfully, that's been happening with Sony, Nintendo, and Valve. Microsoft's exhibited none of it so they have exactly the market share they deserve (actually they deserve less; COVID and shortages gave Xbox an artificial boost this gen) and it's about time they got the mindshare to match that.
Let's say FF IX Remake, as an example: that is one game I can 100% see being at least a PS5/Switch 2/PC Day 1 release, maybe even Day 1 on Xbox as well (no Game Pass). But it could just as easily skip Xbox Day 1 and show up a year later as a Game Pass deal.
But people like Jez can't think of it in this way; it HAS to be FF VII and they have to ALL be coming to Xbox because in his heart, all he's wanted is for Xbox to be a carbon copy of PlayStation. When Xbox chasing that, has been one of the bigger reasons for its sales collapse in the market (who needs an inferior wannabe when the real deal is right there?)

Sony never should have paid for timed exclusivity for these games in the first place, xbox fans don't buy enough square games to be any kind of a threat anyway. Also I don't really like the idea of platform holders paying 3rd parties for exclusives in the first place, I don't like when MS does it (they've done it plenty) or when Sony does it.

Back then the rumors was that sony partially funded development. Plus the creators mention doing the remake to push ps4 sales in japan explicitly.
Link for discussion back in the day.

Remake is quite similar in art direction, gameplay (auto jump etc) and level layout. Also has stagger mechanic ofcourse. Remake however has more interaction, and a more versatile battle system. But in terms of art direction, dialogue and characters they are very similar. Remake reminded me a lot of a better XIII.
Rebirth is an expanded version of this with a more open design and much more to do.

I am not sure about FF16 as that game is one of the most boring FF games to date. Many people I know didn't bother to finish the game and just stopped playing. I rushed to finish the game myself and the ending was meh. FF16 was also forgotten quite quickly as 2023 had way better games than FF16. Getting the FF7 remake series on xbox series consoles and maybe even a switch 2 should be the priority.

Someone still treats Corden as some sort of inside source, really? Guy can't figure out himself, let alone some sort if industry news.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?

Both Forspoken and its spiritual successor FF16.

Looks like the tone has changed quite a bit since the games released.
I remember a time when they were the best thing that ever happened to Playstation. Although, reading between the lines it was obvious from the beginning that they were just mediocre. Not bad, but not particularly good either.

I'd take Forspoken on Xbox honestly. I'm sure FFXVI is likely the better game but I already played it and wasn't crazy about it.
My 1st choices for port requests are all lesser known stuff. Star Ocean 2, I Am Setsuna, Voice of Cards, Valkyrie Elsium, Actraiser. I would try FFVII but after a price cut, since I'm not really crazy about VII anyway.

Square has no choice since it takes so long for development leading to skipping new gamers.Xbox falls into this category, skip a group and they won’t care instead we have growth in Sega rpgs. Makes you wonder who is the mysterious backer of Sega for game investment? (Referring to old r/gaming leaks for unknown backer some year/s ago).
Take 3+ years to make new game and wonder why younger players think ff is for old people.

Off topic but SE related; a reimagining of blood omen would sell over final fantasy in the west. Unfortunately square enix can’t see it considering souls is successful. Maybe they should become a mobile game company.

If they dont say anything at TGS everyone has reason to be annoyed / skeptical.

Oh man, I'm gonna be so done with this shit if nothing is announced, lol. By the way the dev spoke recently it sounded like anything could happen. Something about how he would love to see FF coming to Xbox.
Maybe he did that on purpose, maybe not.

The more I see and hear of this guy, the more I suspect he’s a phoney, stringing people along using whatever contacts he has to keep as many Xbox fans engaged for as long possible, collecting a nice few bonus super chats with that Rand guy along the way.
If the console was to cease in Microsoft’s plans he would not give a shit whatsoever .
