Final Fantasy 16 producer advises PC players to ‘just buy a PS5’

Final Fantasy 16, the upcoming installment in the long-running JRPG series, will drop on June 22 as a PlayStation 5 exclusive. That exclusivity is a bit of a bummer as others last fantasy Games, eg Final Fantasy VII Remake, was also available on PC. and the last main line entry, Final Fantasy xv, was cross-platform. Unfortunately, at least for now, the new last fantasy According to the game’s producer, the game will only be available on PlayStation 5.

The producer was Naoki Yoshida, colloquially known as Yoshi-P Interviewed at a mahjong tournament Weekends, where he was Final Fantasy 16 Coming to PC, something Square Enix confirmed when it released the game About two years ago. However, despite that detail found in the footnote text below the trailer, according to a “rough translation” by Japanese gaming news Twitter account Genki_JPN, Yoshi-P says that the release information is incorrect. In fact, the PC version might not come at all, as Yoshi-P is apparently suggesting people go out and buy a PS5 instead.

“No one has said a word about releasing a PC version,” Yoshi-P said. “Why is the PC version being released six months later? Don’t worry about that, buy a PS5! Sorry, I went overboard. We have tried our best so please look forward to it.”

It is interesting that Yoshi-P is claiming that a PC version is not planned. Scrubbing through something old Final Fantasy 16 trailer, such as “Awakening” from September 2020., it was clearly stated that the game “is not available on other platforms for a limited time after its release on PS5,” suggesting that it could possibly hit other consoles at some point in the future. So it was in this case Final Fantasy VII Remake, where the “limited time” window was about a year. However, all recent marketing for the game, from new trailers to its official website, now makes no mention of it coming to PC. It’s unfortunate Considering others last fantasy Games are on more platforms than just PlayStation And The truth is that Sony’s new consoles can still be hard to find. But in the grand scheme of things, it’s no surprise to learn how deep Square Enix’s relationship with PlayStation is. At least the exclusivity agreement should be done Take advantage of PlayStation 5’s hardware so that there is no loading.
