The way it was revealed on the E3 both it and Shenmue 3 had the tone of showing first on PS4 then on PC and nothing else.

And if you read to what I was answering the core is that we new it wasn't permanent full exclusive. And that his rant on Sony doesn't make sense in this thread as the condition of the exclusivity not being full have always been know and isn't something of this past year (that is when he started complaining of changes Sony have been implementing with censorship and SJW behavior).

I agree that it was widely known as not a PS4 exclusive. Just curious about the “high chance of only a PC port”. There’s no meat on that bone, just an assumption people are apparently making. Unless Sony paid them a lot of money, why would they pass up the Xbox user base?

If you were to ask me to find a quote or source saying Console exclusive I don't remember seeing the term used.

A lot of JRPGs stayed PS4 only even without moneyhat (although some have changed that like Nier if I'm not wrong), but since FF is one that also sells in Xbox (even if a lot less than on PS) and considering 15 was also release perhaps people thought it would release on PS4 only based on some notion that since FFVII release only in PS1+PC so they had some kind of perpetual deal for the IP itself.

But now that FFVII is also on Switch there is no reason to assume that the remake won't release on X1 or XSX. Sony certainly paid a lot of money (thus the timed exclusivity, but maybe not enough to show on Xbox). Will try to see if there were any credible source for a console exclusive.
