There is no single piece of media that has had more impact on me throughout my life than the Final Fantasy series. I enjoyed the first half or so of 15 so much that I thought for sure it would be my new favorite game of all time. It devolved into such a shit heap that I couldn't even bring myself to play it post updates & DLC. It along with KH3 has left me sour on all of Square's modern releases. I was pleasantly surprised by FF7 Remake and will play FF16 at some point. Even a mediocre Final Fantasy is better than what 15 gave us.

The dlcs in my opinion were great. My PS4 is shit so I haven't played the final dlc but they were a unique experience. But yeah 15 was ... It has good ideas. Also cup noodle.

The Remake is beautiful and isn't a bad game, but every second that I'm playing it I keep asking myself "would I be having more fun playing the original?," and every single time my answer is an immediate "yes."

If they had kept the same gameplay mechanics (yes, including traditional turn-based combat), the Remake might have been my all-time favorite game. As it is, it's just a very pretty shadow of what it could have been.

I would have purchased it by now if I could get it on the xbox. I could be wrong, but it seems the Xbox gets the short stick a lot this generation. Switch and playstation seem to be given for a games release but it's always a toss up if the Xbox will be included.

I wish it was less intensive for devs to make their games multiplatform. I hope with their recent announcement fir more Xbox support we'll get ff7 remake and ff16 in due time

Xbox isn't popular in Japan at all, and there's the issue gamepass cannibalizing sales. Makes it a hard sell for Japanese studios for sure.

But in this case it's because sony gave them a bucket of money. Microsoft isn't really the place you want to be to support multiplatform games though, literally anywhere else is better, Microsoft is spending near a hundred billion dollars just to remove games from other people's stores

From the company that got rid of its western developers for performing better than them.
