Still doesn’t explain why they aren’t getting FF VIII, FF 14 I believe someone said something along the lines of “if we can’t get them to all run on the same servers then there’s no point”
That is because Sony put that policy for no crossplay with other console.

They screwed Square bigtime.

That is why there is no ffxiv.
 
We know why...

They have said for years that they wouldn't have the systems on different servers. It was held back by MS policy originally and now its held back by Sony.

They aren't getting 8 because for whatever reason they haven't rereleased it yet. Its not on PS4 either.

I think it has to do with the steam version.
 
They didn't bring FFXIV to Xbox One because that was back when Microsoft wanted to be a closed platform from what i remember. Now that they're all pro-consumer they want to get all these games. Square probably never bothered with older FF titles and Kingdom Hearts because there isn't much of a market there.

As far as Nintendo goes, they have nobody to blame but themselves. FFVII was supposed to be on N64 but the game was too big to be put on cartridge at the time. Oh well. You snooze you lose. If anyone's been taking advantage of other companies mistakes it's Sony and that's worked out very well for them over the years.

And yet they’re porting over the mobile version of ffxv to it....why not just port the mobile variants of all the other ff games to all systems? Many companies already do. I just want to know there exuse and or reasoning

The entire PlayStation platform was literally made on the back of bad mistakes from others, taking advantage of the right bad moves at the right time; it's kind of amazing actually.
