What do you reckon it costs SE to heavily market one of their games? I'm sure it's expensive. If SE hands over marketing of FFXV to sony, it can focus the resources (money) it would of spent on marketing on other areas instead.

You know he's not talking about getting the damned freed up PR guys to work on the game. What a nonsensical question or point.

And Sony would do that work for free, no strings attached? Suuuure!

Where did I say free? Deflecting? I'm sure timed exclusivity would work but the price to get sony to market the game wasn't a part of my point and doesn't have anything to do with what was being discussed between you two.

I didn't mention anything about "price" to get sony to market the game because it wasn't a part of the point I was making.

So? Should've been a gift for Sony after cancelling the game on PS3

You are an armchair general par excellence, what would Square Enix do without you.

Oh wait, according to their latest financial reports they are doing just fine without you.

Oh wow their mobile gaming and MMO business are doing so well. Lol Look at their console business. Oh wait. Their best selling game for this year was a Koei Tecmo DQH collab. LMAO!

Huh? If anybody can market FF its SE , they've been doing it for decades. NEVER a bad marketing campaign for FF.

Not to mention the developers are not the marketing team.

Protip - This is garbage: SE does not owe SONY anything! FF is THEIR IP, they're developing it, they're paying for it, they have the choice to make any financial decisions on what is theirs. Period.

Pro-tip: the majority of FF fanbase is on Playstation. The fanbase that keeps on buying their games day one despite being in lower quality than the PS era Final Fantasies. Remaining loyal despite multiple delays, promises they never kept and the ones who keep on buying the 3rd FFX plus remasters cause hey we're loyal. lol

You know a consumer is more important than a company. If they keep on making bad decisions and lower quality games, that fanbase will shrink one day. They were already doing it last gen by pushing the core base away.

Asking for them to present the game better is the easiest thing they should do after years of development hell.

The game isnt gonna release yet for over a Year.

Complain about the advertisements when they actually start pumping real money into ad space. Until then, this is getting locked.
