Sq. Enix has made it completely clear that after the business underperformance of Last Fantasy 16 and Last Fantasy 7 Rebirth, it intends to undertake a multiplatform launch technique going ahead. And although it’s trying more and more seemingly that Last Fantasy 16 will launch for Xbox sooner quite than later, Last Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth each stay unique to PlayStation (whereas the latter isn’t even accessible on PC).
And whereas nothing official has but been introduced on that entrance, Last Fantasy 7 Rebirth director Naoki Hamaguchi appears to be indicating that an Xbox launch may be very a lot one thing that Sq. Enix is planning on for each remakes.
Talking with GamesRadar, he talked about wanting to achieve “as many gamers as attainable” with the Remake trilogy, saying, “When it comes to Last Fantasy 7, there’s nothing actually we will say in the mean time, however actually I do need to deliver Last Fantasy 7 and the Remake collection to as many gamers on the market as attainable, so we need to create that state of affairs, that atmosphere, the place extra gamers can play the video games in future, and we need to look in that course.”
He added, “It’s a lot extra diversified now, so I feel that’s that’s most likely why our CEO, Mr. [Takashi] Kiryu, made that call to maneuver extra within the course of multiplatform – that’s simply the best way that the business goes.”
Hamaguchi went on so as to add that personally, he’s an Xbox fan himself. “That is only a private opinion now, however I’ve acquired an Xbox myself. I feel it’s a fantastic {hardware} platform. I do like Xbox.”
Studies have beforehand claimed that although Sq. Enix is internally discussing Xbox ports for Last Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth, they’re not but within the works, although primarily based on Hamaguchi’s statements, it does appear to be the corporate intends to deliver each video games to Microsoft’s consoles sooner quite that later.
Whether or not which means the ultimate instalment of the Remake trilogy will see a day and date Xbox launch must be fascinating to see, although that’s most likely a handful of years down the highway.
