I would be very interested in the ffvi remake, as it is my favorite part

He said the crossover title wasn't Dissidia.

Yeah i have been told already.

Sounds weird though. Why would square 2 FF crossover titles at the same time. They will compete, therefore it makes little sense.

The majority of those games are Japanese, only a small amount on the whole are western publishers

Sony has an absolutely enormous market share this generation, with a massive install base for this early in the generation and not only are those things factually true, but they also undeniably sell a tonne more of those games than anyone else this generation, in order for Sony to buy exclusivity or get the ball rolling on such projects they largely only have to point out such things or lean on those facts when courting 3rd party.

Yes they still have to pay money for deals like everyone else would sure, but the figure probably wouldn't be anywhere near what it would be for another platform holder.

I'll say it again yes I am fully aware how much these deals cost, but you're clearly not aware of the kind of money that Sony would be getting on a yearly basis from 3rd party mulitplat sales, from PS+ subscriptions, PS Now, Vue, revenue being gained from the sales of indie titles, sales of their own exclusives, remasters generating income and the fact they're bringing in profit from PS4 hardware, I'm sure I'm missing some other revenue streams, but I think this is plenty to illustrate the point I'm making here.

The cost of these new exclusives is probably a drop in the ocean compared to how much they're making from all of the above paragraph and many of them will sell very well on PS4, some may be loss leaders, but they'll all have a unified effect in enormously growing PS4's install base or the potential future platform(s).

As I said it's not like all of those games are expected to drop in one year, they're an investment for the entire rest of the generation, maybe even some of those games will be released next gen, which only reinforces the need for more games over the long period.

There's nothing crazy about needing a load of exclusives 5+ years.

He didn't say Final Fantasy games, just "Square Enix Crossover Game", and he also mentioned it wasn't a musuo either. Also it could be from a different developer like Square Enix and Capcom etc.

Thats too bad. An FF musou would've been awesome. But yeah, i have no idea what other sort of crossover it can be.

Apparently the Level 5 game is neither JRPG #1 or #2:

JRPG5 is Persona 6.

All third party games in your list here except one. They have their publishers. Think about it, for these titles to be the JRPGs, it would mean Sony has to publish them. How likely do you think it is that Sony is publishing DQXI? Or Suikoden? Or something like Persona? Not to mention, I talked about the first two JRPG games before I became aware of us talking about Dragon Quest, so it definitely can't be that. Also, keep in mind, I already told people back in 2013 that Level-5 has a third party exclusive for PS4, but that has nothing to do with JRPG1 and JRPG2. CC2 is a good shout out, but why would Sony publish a new .hack game instead of BN, if they were making one?

And that's the end of that chapter. Let me just throw this scarf around my neck.

I think Verendus is full of shit. Didn't he say PS4 would get a DQ remake and then SE announced DQVIII Remake for the 3DS?

What the hell, that means Level 5s game isn't a Sony IP nor is it Dragon Quest XI so.....I think it can only be one game.... Ni No Kuni 2.

Did anyone really think it was going to be DQ XI?
