FF7 Trilogy, FF16, And Pixel Remasters All Being Considered!

Story Highlight
  • Square Enix recently released Final Fantasy 14 on Xbox, further strengthening its relationship with Xbox.
  • An insider states that the gaming giant is considering its options and may release all Final Fantasy games on Xbox, including the current remake trilogy.
  • Previous rumors have also suggested that Final Fantasy 16 will be announced for Xbox at Tokyo Game Show.

Square Enix is one of the biggest gaming publishers because of beloved IPs like Final Fantasy. However, most of its recent games have been exclusive to PlayStation, leaving fans on Xbox and other platforms wanting more.

Recently, Final Fantasy 16 was confirmed for PC, and Final Fantasy 14 arrived on Xbox, indicating a bigger third-party push from Square Enix. According to a reliable insider, even more Final Fantasy entries are planned for Xbox.

Why it matters: This JRPG series began as a PlayStation-centric franchise, but it saw multiple releases on Microsoft’s console during the Xbox 360 era. Therefore, a huge audience still exists on this platform for Square Enix to capitalize on.

Final Fantasy 14 was released on Xbox in October and was very successful. At the same time, Square Enix has been struggling with sales for its newer games, so the publisher is considering all its options.

According to reports from insider Jez Corden, the studio’s plans could lead to all Final Fantasy entries heading to Xbox. This would include the beloved Pixel remasters, the latest mainline release from last year, and the ongoing remake trilogy.

I’ve heard the whole slate’s on the docket.

In particular, Final Fantasy 16 may be announced very soon. The insider expects an announcement or some type of reveal at the Tokyo Game Show, even though he does not have exact details yet.

It’s important to note that this is not the first time reports have pointed to an Xbox release for Final Fantasy 16. Jez Corden also suggests that PlayStation does not have exclusivity locked down for the whole remake trilogy.

These reports come as no surprise since Square Enix intends to double down on Xbox releases. As such, the studio is expected to rely on exclusivity less and less in the future.

With the Tokyo Game Show just two weeks away, fans won’t have to wait too long for a potential announcement. The incredibly popular JRPG franchise could finally return to Xbox in all its glory, making it an exciting time to be a fan of JRPGs in Microsoft’s gaming ecosystem.
