Isn’t that article a year old? And before their new lead change?
How long do you want images tagged for related to this game in our screenshot section?
At least for the release month. After that tag anything that is a major spoiler.
Chapter 4 now. Moving right along. Good game so far. But man, FF16 is wayyyyy better. But I am digging this one.
I think 16 has the highest of highs but this is definitely better because of its characters and the world. Much more of true Final Fantasy.
I don’t have the FF history. But based on me just finishing 16, I found the characters, graphics, combat and story in 16 to be better IMO so far.
The world map? might be better in Rebirth but I’m only on Chapter 4 I’m still formulating a decision.
Just my early feedback so far.
Could be but wasn't starfield supposed to be better because they didn't have to work on a PS5 version anymore? I've said it a hundred times but if xbox fans actually bought square games when they did release them on the console this wouldn't happen. I don't like these deals, I don't think they are good for anyone really but we also can't pretend that MS hasn't done this many times themselves, hell they were more aggressive at it than Sony was for a long time.
Or maybe it’s because they’re paid not to. If they bring niche games like Mana there will is no reason not to bring FF games other than money hatting, especially when they are often disappointed in sales.
You can't build a consumer base if your flagship titles always end up exclusive somewhere else. Asking xbox customers to accept Square's scraps while giving Sony the better more name recognizable titles is self defeating if you are tying to build multi platform support.
Final Fantasy 15 launched day and date on the xbox one and PS4 and the PS4 version sold over 5 times as many copies when it was full price, the gap is likely much larger now. The audience isn't there for these games on xbox the way it is for PlayStation.
They aren't giving them to Sony btw they are being paid for them and MS has the option to bid as well and they either don't bid as much or don't bother at all because it's probably not worth it based on what the likely return is. The main reason MS has cut back on doing deals with these bigger games is because they'd have to put them on gamepass and that will cost a lot of money with not much in the way of a direct return.
Agree to disagree. If the audience wasn't there, every JRPG would be skipping xbox. Sega and Bandai Namco seem to agree with putting their flagship titles on xbox day and date with other platforms. This is a weird thing between Square and Microsoft that Xbox needs to resolve.
FF16, by Square's President's own words, did not meet the high end of the company’s expectations due in part to the PS5’s more limited install base at the time. So the question becomes IF it had lauched on Xbox as well would it have made it's sales expectations? Who knows but given its sales numbers, we know a PC port is coming down the line, and it wouldn't surprise me if an Xbox version was in the works too.
It also wouldn't surprise me if their other big JRPG IP in the pipeline, Dragon Quest XII was multplatform on Day 1.

Jinca likes to leave out important info. Like PS4's dominance over X1. FF15 not being received all that well by critics and gamers. Lets also not forget Square Enix just spurned Xbox fans with FF14, and then factor in a near decade long wait for Xbox gamers.
The last FF released on Xbox is not only a prequel but also a game that ends with the intro to a game still not on Xbox.
Can't think why Xbox gamers haven't bought a game they can't continue the story to.
FF MMO(beta) is the top played free game on Xbox right now.

Chapter 5!
Some of these cutscenes look great! Lots of detail.
could have done without the parade competition

Words cannot express how envious I am of you guys playing right now. As I sit here and wait for the PC versions of FF16 and Rebirth.
Just got back from a trip. Going to start it up later tonight can't wait !
On Chapter 6. Not sure who thought of putting all these mini games in that are required to progress but they are lame.
Started playing yesterday and got about 5 hours in. I'm trying to 100% everything and this is already sooo good. I'm only in Chapter 2 but I can feel it's going to take a while. However the side quests and all the optional quests don't feel annoying to go through.
I can also already tell this is already a much deeper Action RPG system than FF16, I have barely started the customization of your materia, gear, and level up stats. But remember to always learn every weapon's and materia's ability before taking it off each character.
Why is Cloud such a dumbass though? Some of these scenes lol

Wait until you get to chapter 4 and 5. I am about to slap Cloud into next week. Actually, I am going to have Clive completely SHRED Cloud.
The mini card game Queen's Blood in Rebirth is actually pretty fun. Could even be expanded into a smaller indie title if Square wanted to. I'm having a blast just exploring everything in Chapter 2 right now, learning the game's combat system and gear / character upgrades while unlocking all the quests and objectives.
Also it's such an impressive feat to be able to just walk straight out of Kalm without any loading screens after fast travelling there. Literally walked out of town and into the open world seamlessly.
I don't like how Cloud stays paused all the time when entering areas or starting up after a cutscene is over. The team is off and running and we are still waiting for Cloud to be moveable.
