Well, I've already told that anything less than Final Fantasy making an appearance there would be a disappointment. Phil has brought this to himself. But realistically speaking, would be great to get at least SMT Nocturne port (should be a super easy port as it's already on anything but Xbox). I have doubts about us xbots getting it this year, as Xbox is already stacked with Atlus games for the near future. It would be a nice surprise though. I've started the game on Switch but not making that much progress as I believe we'll get it at some point sooner or later so I'd rather play on Xbox. 

I keep wondering how long is going to take the internet to finally realize that FF is nowhere near what is once was. People have moved on to other types of RPGs since a long time ago.

And pliz don't come with the "most people play it on console" line. Looking at the August 2023 most downloaded games on PS5, we can see that people prefer to download older games like TW3, MK11 (and even No Man's Sky) instead of the newest entry in the franchise.

Having more games is always nice, but I think that FF could remain Playstation exclusive for all eternity and nobody outside of forum users would actually care.

Yeah, FF16 flopped pretty hard honestly, not only were there the reports that Square was disappointed with the launch sales, but the legs seem pretty poor as well, considering at full price it fell off the top 20 in Europe within about 2 months of release, and down to #16 on US charts, and the Japan performance, though not shown here, was particularly poor, the worst mainline FF launch we have seen in Japan, didn't even sell 1/3rd of what FF13 sold there on launch, and 13 was already weaker on sales than earlier FF games like 12 and 10. They have managed to boost the legs somewhat with the recent $20 off promotion, but even at $20 off it has only shot up to #63 on Amazon US at least.
