A magazine for discussing the JRPG genre
Try releasing it on Xbox and PC as well instead of going single console exclusive?
Exactly. Seeing streams of the demo got me hyped for the game, but I don't have a PS5, nor do I have any interest in buying a console currently.
All that hype is pretty much gone now. I might still get it once it releases for PC, but I'm not even certain about that at this point. If it had released for PC immediately, I would have 100% gotten it.
Does that mean SE is gonna sell their studio and IP to embracer like they did with their Eidos stuff?
They seem to think every game they make needs to sell one billion copies and then make it exclusive to one platform. Dumbass 🤣
Probably trying to get bought by Sony, who has basically said they are looking for studios and IPs since the Microsoft/Activision deal is almost certainly happening.
Other studios that have been floated for Sony to potentially look at buying are Embracer and Kadokawa (FromSoft's parent company).
If games keep failing to meet Square Enix's targets, then maybe they need to set more realistic targets. It feels like every Square Enix game, except for maybe FFVII Remake, gets an article about how it didn't meet their sales expectations.
Even better, how about they make better games and put them on more platforms.
