adamsapple can read phil spencers mind

No, I wish.

Just the article.

I'll add a line break in the article so its easier to see where he starts talking about something completely different.

So he said a lot of shit that's unrelated to the question asked? Nice one, Phil.

I mean it's literally in their business strategy...

So are a lot of things from Microsoft. Doesn't mean it'll happen that way. They will not be the only one to acquire pubs, and they definitely won't be acquiring all of them. You have to be pretty naive to think that.

Reads more like they split his answer into small paragraphs. There isnt even a new question between the 3 paragraphs, so one can assume that they all belong to the initial question.

If that's how you want to read it, sure. I think it's a pretty clear pivot when he starts talking about the CEO of Square and referencing the FF14 stream quotes from a few weeks back. It has nothing to do with FFVII or FF16 at that point and he's talking about generic support and commitments here.

Does it even matter? Xbois don’t even play those types of games, SE knows it and lying Phil knows it. He’s just putting on his ”gamer t-shirt” nothing more nothing less.

They do, and it actually sold well, especially considering that it was FF13 and 15 of all games to be introduced. The entire idea that Xbox gamers doesn't play japanese games are overblown, Namco and Capcom games are big hits on the platform, and that's noticing that most of the support started with that quality blunder in the HD generation.

Square, unlike other developers, decided to make backsteps, especially for a big company, to auction their stuff as console exclusives, even to PC part of that went to EGS and when it released on steam, it was meet with cricket reception, I think the new CEO has other plans and knows that they don't have any leverage to make Xbox accept their terms since they have better alternatives such as Atlus, their own studios, and indie RPG games with great reception.

r/country in a nutshell, the brazil one is completely devoid of your average brazilian.

No shit. There is obviously no current commitment from SE to bring those titles to Xbox, but he obviously isn't just gonna say that, so he just waffles on about how he is such good friends with SE. With XVI, SE may not even be allowed to publicly commit to an Xbox release.

I don't know what you guys expect him to say in an interview. Honestly. He's not cleared to just announce things randomly that aren't announced yet. He's not cleared ever to announce SQEX games obviously. So he just says it's up to them and he's happy they made a commitment to bring stuff over. It's honestly the only thing he can say, literally. This is why most games journalism is largely pointless.

Yes, precisely. Why is anyone expecting Phil to break news sitting on a couch on Gamescom.

I mean we know he has access to inside information based on his tag pillow talk and all that

 

[Flutta]

Isn’t that what he usually does? sitting on chairs and coutches
”breaking news” to his minions so they can run around the internet telling us how Xbox is the best deal in gaming over and over again

 

[adamsapple]

they can run around the internet telling us how Xbox is the best deal in gaming over and over again

That's not breaking news tho

but I digress, Punished Miku 's post is spot on. No one's going to announce things on Square's behalf that they're not ready to announce themselves.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Didn't Sony with FF7R extend or lockdown the exclusivity arrangement? I recall it was initially just for 6 or 12 months but then became long-term. Can't remember the exact specifics though.

Edit: Now I remember, they locked down the exclusivity again with the Intergrade version on PS5.

With 16, I'm thinking we'll see a PC release announced at the Game Awards and out around Spring or Summer. Possibly Summer to create a gap between Rebirth.

 

[SkeletonQuays]

Are you an expert?

Little known fact but I'm what you would call a big soup guy... take what you will from that.

 

[SSfox]

So it will never come to Xbox in other words.

 

[mckmas8808]

I don't think this is the type of game Sony wants to get into with MS. Look what happened when Sony became interested in purchasing exclusivity for Starfield all those years back.

LOL!!! That's not why they bought Bethesda man.

Final fantasy VII remake was great and I can't wait for the sequel. Will play that on PlayStation. Always said I like that game.

The game that I personally felt was shite and I genuinely regret playing through 65 hours of it was Final Fantasy XVI. I felt compelled to complete it for my love of JRPGS. I did all the side quests....but man. What a bang average to bad game. Shouldn't have got more than a 6 out of ten imo

Final fantasy XVI objectively is not shit that game is super impressive and beautiful, graphics and art are stellar, music is superb, and the acting is good to great. game is fun if you remove the rings that plays the game for you. There are set pieces that are fucking great artistically and technically. You probably don’t like the game for whatever reasons. But objectively the game is not shit by any means.

It is dumb to waste 65 hrs on something that you think is shit. It’s an illogical thing to do.

Only a moron wastes 65 hrs on something that said individual think is shit. It’s an illogical thing to do.

What is the correct time to spend for someone who ultimately dislikes a game to :
- not be considered stupid because he played the game for too long ?
- not be considered irrelevant because he didn't play for long enough ?

FF16 is amazing. It's just too long with some bloat. Should be more classically linear than fake rpg to be honest. But it's one of best games I've played this year. It's proper great.
Not ff 15 or 7r but close

The key word is shit.

The moment I think something is shit that is the moment I stop the activity I’m doing whether I’m 10 minutes in or 5 hrs. If it took 65 hrs to realize something is shit. Damn!! And then go on and completing all side quests…. Damn!! Again.

The good thing is that PlayStation plus has trials and that let you know the quality of the game for up to an hour sometimes. I have been trying stuff there that I can realize that something is good and well made. The FFXVI demo alone was great!!

So we had Nate Drake recently say it wasn't being planned, but things can change of course. Let's see what happens.

I have no idea how to directly show tweets here.

We're still at "could be" so yeah......we'll see.
