Thank you but I do what I want.

I will buy Day 1 for my PS4 Pro then on PC one year later.

yeh, i will no longer buy in this remastered scam. end-gen titles gets re-released for next gen with better looks a year later and make people buy them again.

Unless it is about a collection remastered (2-3 games remastered and packed with the price of one).

It's weird that they put it in the box but this not shocking at all, it'll most probably come to PS5/PC/Scarlett/Xbone (not sure how possible would a Switch version be, though).

1 year is WAY too long for an anticipated game for me, so its a must for Ps4.

If that is and has always been your view, then thats great.

Unfortunately, particularly around the announcement at E3, that is degree of clarity that many people lacked. As for your more personal comment, you are mis-remembering. Though I do recall riling a few people up at the time, perhaps you were one of them

Though I am glad you brought RotTR up - its a good point of comparison for the broad ineffectiveness of deals like this. Part of it is the quality and expectations issue you raise, but its also the timing. The game will at a minimum be on the PS4 for 6 months before it has a chance to push PS5's. A PS4 that already has multiple FF games. And it will be on PS5 (maybe, MAYBE) for a few months before PC, Xbox, Mobile, NEOGEO etc. At that time, all the other platforms will get a game of the year/complete edition, same as with RotTR. All-in-all, hard to see how it will push consoles.

The rest of it - come on dude, Sony isn't being benevolent. Square designs their box art.

Good for Sony. But a year is better than never for MS.

Wasn't this revealed to be a timed exclusive when it was first announced at E3 2016?

The only other version I'd be interested in is the PC version, but I'm not willing to wait. I just hope there isn't some kind of "carry over" with save files or whatnot that would negatively impact when I eventually get the PC version of subsequent games.

Yes. It was very clear on the trailer that it was "first on PS4", I don't remember Sony using any announcement you had to guess where the game would go for.

People still think some version of SFV will go to other consoles. But Sony stated console exclusive on reveal and on press release said it would never show in another console, people said a Super, Ultra or any other name would, haven't happened yet.

You underestimate the market. Timed exclusives work well when there isnt much to play. When FF7 arrives, gamers have plenty of choices in Cyberpunk, TLOU2, Doom Enternal, Ori 2 etc. Gamers will wait if they have other great games available. 

This gen was full of gaps and in some cases nothing to play at some points,  thats where timed exclusives work really well. The hardcore FF crowd will obviously flock over FF7 remake day one however the market is alot bigger than just the hardcore.
