- Final Fantasy 7 Revelation’s director has called the game’s multiplatform release an inevitable outcome.
- He believes gamers no longer stick to one platform today like they used to in the past.
- The director also noted that future games will focus on reaching a broad audience.
Final Fantasy officially went multiplatform last year, marking the release of titles like Final Fantasy 16 and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on Xbox and Nintendo platforms.
Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is next up in line, and unlike past games, the title will launch across all platforms simultaneously. According to the game’s director, this shift was inevitable for the series.
Why it matters: The past few Final Fantasy titles previously launched as PlayStation exclusives, with Square Enix and Sony working closely on all games. This has now changed for good.
According to Final Fantasy 7 Revelation director Naoki Hamaguchi, the shift was an inevitable outcome.
As reported by GamesRadar, Naoki Hamaguchi noted that most players exist beyond a single platform today. The director believes this will become an even more important factor in the future.
He emphasizes that game development in the future will likely focus on how widely a title can be delivered to players across the globe.
An inevitable outcome of the changing environment surrounding today’s players.
Of course, others in the industry have had a similar reaction to the changing times. Most teams no longer pursue third-party exclusivity as aggressively today, with even Sony briefly testing the waters with rapid PC releases before returning to console exclusivity.
Similarly, Square Enix has all but abandoned the idea of exclusivity in favor of multiplatform releases.
