I loved the original Zorg 1000 Adventure, but it was a shame how the lead developer left before Zorg 2. It was his passion that drove the series and the sequel is just an empty cash grab without him. That's why sales slumped and they had to resort to remastering the first game to pull in more revenue.

Jokes aside, I don't play Final Fantasy so I don't have a dog in the fight, but I agree, that it doesn't sound like port begging to say that Square Enix would be more successful by porting to the Switch going forward. I can see why they wouldn't port to the original Switch as the specs aren't on par with what FFXVI needed, but between DLSS and the diminishing returns of more powerful hardware that sounds like a good way to earn more on what must be a very expensive game to make.

Ironically it's not just about the Switch this whole argument began funny enough in the last thread when talking about porting to Xbox and PC to make up for the decline in Japan, really it's more about them being full on multiplatform to offset any decline the whole port begging comment just comes across as not having a viable response to this point tbh.

As for the whole Sony paying for the series that someone else brought up well no company has infinite money to continue it just for the sake of PR and shareholders as someone pointed out are a factor for both sides, to keep footing the bill for a game's development for PR will raise questions internally like why not just fund our own first party instead they're selling equivalent or more units at this point even more so if we're going by the narrative of being more of a western draw, the return on the investment is always the priority.
