DLSS doesn't change development cost, it's not an AI "developing something". 

If AI can eventually make games, why the fuck would I ever even bother waiting for a developer to make me a game (let alone pay them $70)? I'd just tell the AI to build me the game specifically that I want. It is probably decades away from that, but if it can actually develop games (which would actually reduce cost) that's a zero sum game for the video game industry because people will just start asking the AI to make them games and bypass developers entirely.

AI is not going to make Square-Enix's troubles go away any time soon either way. They can't spend that much more on their games than they are now. FF7 Rebirth is already "epic" enough, they can cap it there and make games much more smartly going forward for the next decade using that same base. 

Sure it does.  People don't need to optimise game assets for sharp resolution.  They can just quickly reduce resolution and have AI make it look higher resolution than it is.

RT is AI as well.  Have AI do lighting so less people need to do it.

Lol.  In one breath you talk about how awesome AI is, RT and DLSS but now claim AI doesn't exist.  

Time for paper mario.

Actually I don't even think that's how DLSS works. You still need high res assets, you can't just use low res assets and have DLSS make you a high res image, it needs to know what the high resolution image looks like to output an image that looks similar. 

You're out of your element on this one, AI assisted ray tracing is not even in its infancy right now and I think you don't have much of a clue about what ray/path tracing actually is to begin with. 

For Final Fantasy none of these things are really relevant to their development costs today or even 2-3 years from now. There's no magic AI button coming that's going to let them make a FF game that looks 2x as good as FF7 Rebirth for less money or the same money. That's ridiculous and it's not happening. 

If they want to go higher in graphics they're going to have spend a lot more, just like Sony/Insomniac had to when going from Spider-Man Miles Morales to Spider-Man 2 (which honestly I don't think even that looks like a proper full generation leap). 

And that's a ridiculous ask for a company who's sales are going down, not up.
