It'll release on XB1/Scorpio and Switch IMO. 

It's expensive as fuck to make and will take years to make as you said. That means S-E needs to recoup huge development costs. We also know FFVIIR-2 and FFVIIR-3 are coming, and they need to get the first part out to XBox and Nintendo players to also make money off Remake2 and Remake3. 

They're not going to throw all those sales away. 

Even if the game doesn't launch until like 2020 ... IMO that just means it'll come out on PS4/PS5, XBox One/Scorpio, and Switch (probably a Switch mid-gen refresh will even be out by then). Sony will have their window with the game first, then it will come out on other platforms. 

Mhm I dunno about a switch release.....

 

nor or do I know about a ps4 or x one release.... I totally expect a reboot like FF XV and a release on nexgen tho

I don't see it. I think what you're actually going to see is an even more stretched "transition" period between gens. 

Games cost too much money to make these days, developers are not going to easily let of a gaurunteed userbase of close to 200 million already (between PS4 + Switch + XBox One/Scorpio) to go start from 0-20 million with PS5/XBox Next. 

This reality does not make any business sense, and that's going to become painfully true soon I think. If you thought all the multi-gen releases this transition were bad, wait till you see the next one. 

The three FF7R remake's will probably cost Square-Enix over $100-$150 million to develop before any marketing costs are factored in. They need to sell as many of them as possible. 

I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up on even iOS/Android in some way/shape/form, lol sooner or later.
