There’s one question on some gamers’ lips: Will future Square Enix games like Final Fantasy come to Xbox? Obviously you won’t like the answer.
The least we can say is that the Final Fantasy franchise is doing quite well. In recent years we’ve been treated to the remake of FF7 (a sequel coming soon) and more recently FF XVI. Unfortunately, not everyone can benefit from it. We’re obviously thinking about Xbox gamers, as these games are exclusive to PlayStation. We sometimes see a PC release happen, but not on Microsoft’s computer. Will that change in the future? Don’t get your hopes up too high.
The next Final Fantasy on Xbox? Not sure
On the website Reset ERAthe user Get on the block, previously called “I’m a Hero Too,” gave us some interesting information on the subject. This should of course be taken with a grain of salt, but he has made the point in the past when it comes to certain Japanese games. Here he mentioned the partnership between Square Enix and PlayStation and in particular the exclusive rights. As far as we know, the situation will not improve. We have to expect “much worse.”
First of all, you should not immediately accept the possibility of a buyout. In this case, it would never have leaked like that, for good reason. At least that’s what most players agree on. On the other hand, this news shouldn’t make anyone happy. When we see the quality of the latest Final Fantasy productions, we actually understand the frustration over the lack of an Xbox version.
However, not everything is lost yet. You may have noticed, but we haven’t talked about FF XIV yet. The MMORPG will actually land on the Xbox Series The game is not comparable to FF XVI or Rebirth as it does not work in the same way. Its community aspect that MMORPG requires makes it logical that it would eventually appear on Xbox consoles. Be continued.
DLC for FF XVI
Returning to the latest work, Final Fantasy 16, we know that it made a big contribution at the Game Awards 2023 with the announcement of two DLCs. One of them, The afterglow of the sky (Echoes of the Fallen) is available on the PlayStation Store for $9.99 each or via the Expansion Pass for $24.99. The bundle also contains the second content The coming flood, but the latter has not yet been published. You’ll have to wait until spring 2024 before you can get your hands on it. Afterwards, Square Enix will have reported on the game and its story, as Naoki Yoshida, the legendary producer of FF XIV, confirmed:
The team that developed the game no longer exists. Except for members assigned to the DLC. Therefore, we have no plans to make a sequel or spin-off of FF16.
