| curl-6 said: There's a reason hardly any AAA games are exclusive any more, with even first party Xbox and Playstation games making their way to PC. The cost of these titles has become astronomical, and this is Square Enix we're talking about, a company that is notoriously often unhappy with how their games sell these days. |
Square-Enix is already hitting up against their budget limits I think.
FF16 doesn't look a full generation ahead of FF7 Remake or even FFXV if I'm being honest. It's the first time maybe ever that a mainline FF game on a new hardware generation doesn't look much better than the previous one.
It kinda looks like Super Mario Galaxy versus Super Mario Sunshine, which was not a full generational leap and even that might be being generous, I honestly think FF7 Remake looks better in some respects.
So Switch 2 could align well with Square-Enix not being able to go much higher up the graphics ladder at this point. Is Final Fantasy 17 really going to have a monster budget way beyond 16? I doubt it, not with the sales range of the series stagnating, very possibly declining.
