Naoki “Yoshi-P” Yoshida says Square Enix still plans to “increasingly” release its games on multiple platforms simultaneously.
Square Enix is no longer the dominant player in the gaming world, with both Final Fantasy XVI and Final Fantasy VII Reborn failing to live up to expectations. There are many reasons for this, but one of them is almost certainly that multi-platform is the choice for most developers these days, but Square has mainly reserved for PlayStation and Nintendo Switch in recent years. But due to these recent difficulties, it has changed its plans to ensure its games are also released on Xbox and PC, and based on some recent comments from Yoshi-P, those plans appear to be in full effect.

Talking about the upcoming release of Fantasian Neo Dimension in an interview with 4Gamer (translated by VGC), Yoshi-P said that Square Enix hopes that you will “play a lot of it on other platforms as well” with the previously iOS-exclusive new version. Said: “This time, we will also release the Xbox Series Can play it.”
This is obviously good news for Xbox fans, especially since they’ve been pretty hit-and-miss in recent years when it comes to playing Square Enix’s big games – PS4 heavyweights like Final Fantasy 15 and Kingdom Hearts 3 Both were launching on Xbox One at the time, but jumping to Final Fantasy 7 Remake/Rebirth and Final Fantasy 7 Remastered and Final Fantasy 16, you were out of luck unless you owned a PlayStation (although Remastered “Remastered” and “Remastered” and “16” later came to PC).
Whether full multi-platform will help Square Enix achieve its lofty sales goals is another question, but having two parts of a trilogy only available on one platform doesn’t mean the success of the third part, even if it is Multi-platform – although it probably won’t be. I’m sure Final Fantasy 17 will become a modern hit!
