Square Enix has been experiencing underwhelming sales of their AAA titles recently. They decided to go multiplatform, but is that enough? I share my opinion on what they can do to succeed involving 4 key strategies.
00:00 - Failed to meet expectations
01:48 - Capture the Japanese Domestic Market
07:16 - Delay PC Releases
09:16 - Focus on sales of Remake as much as Rebirth
14:33 - Stronger Identity
18:37 - The Secret 5th Key Strategy

You absolutely nailed the need for the identity of the series. You absolutely nailed the need to use the 7R saga as the template for mainline FF going forward. You absolutely nailed how each title can be different from each other even though they're working from the same framework. We've already seed the franchise do this while working with ATB as the skeletal framework with IV-IX. Each title felt familiar had things we would expect from a FF title while also giving the devs plenty of room to experiment and be creative within that identity. And while X was different it at least felt adjacent. This franchise absolutely needs an identity. It absolutely needs to use the 7R saga as its gameplay template. Reinventing the wheel each time out simply isn't working.

Seriously though I dont get players (players who have no idea how graphics work) just saying anything can run on a PS4, FF16 is already absolutely struggling on the PS5 so you are not seeing this on a switch anytime soon, unless of course they go back to cloud gaming like they did with kingdom hearts.

I’d love to buy FF16 and rebirth but I don’t have a ps5 yet. I have a hard time justifying spending $500 on a machine with so few interesting games I couldn’t get on my ps4. So either port it to ps4 or get Sony to do a price drop

I’m in the exact same position. So far the only PS5 games I really want to play are FFXVI and FFVII Rebirth.

didnt playstation pay square to exclusivity? i mean that should make up for some of it i woukd think.

They probably did and you would think that it would have offset development costs, but if they're saying that it didn't perform well, then clearly it's not good enough.

@@FaustFantasy by perform well it means selling 4 million copies lol the point is they should have factored in only selling on ps5... and only so many ps5 are out there. market penetration on any game isnt going to generally be huge. maybe one to 4 games a year is bg3 or hogwarts market penetration
