Square Enix has made a radical decision for the Final Fantasy saga. Enough to bring joy to many more players in the future. Great promise for the most famous J-RPG.
In recent years, Square Enix has often reserved its biggest titles, e.g. Final Fantasy 16 and Final Fantasy VII Remakeon the PlayStation. A decision that surprised many players. However, on a financial level, this strategy did not bring the expected results. Faced with this reality, the Japanese publisher decided to review its copy.
A shift to multiplatform for Final Fantasy
At a recent financial meeting, Square Enix announced a major change: a multiplatform strategy. The idea is simple: to give as many players around the world as possible access to their flagship franchises, such as Final Fantasyas soon as they are released. Whether you’re on PlayStation, PC or Xbox, you’ll be able to enjoy the publisher’s most important titles. This shift even includes games from their historic catalog that will delight nostalgic fans.
Final Fantasy 16 and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
Opening up to other platforms
With this new strategy, we can expect Square Enix’s next big games to be available on multiple platforms immediately after their release. For example, FF16
This multiplatform move could well be a game-changer for Square Enix. By opening up its titles to a wider range of players, the publisher hopes to increase its revenue while meeting the expectations of its community. The move could also inspire other publishers to take a similar approach and reduce exclusives to maximize the impact of their games.
