Not a flop, then, but he did caveat this by adding that “with the modernity of games we cannot be exclusive to a single platform” and that “we need to offer this game to as many players as possible”.
We suspect that means the third instalment in the series will probably launch simultaneously on PC, in addition to potentially Nintendo Switch 2 and even Xbox as well. But it’ll all depend on the contracts Sony has signed with the publisher.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is coming to PC on 23rd January, and we’re sure there’ll be much handwringing over its sales performance on the platform. If it does well, then some will argue it should have launched there all along; if it fails to meet expectations, then those same people will point out the period of timed exclusivity killed its chances.
Either way, the discourse over Final Fantasy’s strong but generally overanalysed sales will rumble on.
