This is mildly disappointing. Coming to phones, but not PC? I don't even play my Switch anymore. Come on...

Actually, why is it coming to every current platform but Xbox and PC? That makes no logical sense. The phones are getting it... What?

 

[Viri]

I'm ready!

How's about no. I'll get it on the Switch. Not saying Bluestacks is bad, just not something I use.

do whatever you wanna do pal

 

[Mythical]

Yeah it's kinda bs there's no pc release. And people did point out bluestacks, but honestly it shouldn't be neccesary. It's just a weird thing to do imo

 

[gamecaptor]

I wonder if this is just a timing thing. It seems Square Enix is brining all their stuff to PC/XBox just with some delays. Hopefully that will be the case for this as well.

The mobile version is most likely for the Chinese market seeing as the Tencent Switch is a bastardized console, and Sony just pulled the PSN out of China.

Depends on if there is controller support, or at least keyboard support that could be mapped to a controller. Square-Enix does not have a good track record on Android for this. See also Final Fantasy Dimensions, the best 2D Final Fantasy in decades, but nearly impossible to play control-wise.

Most of those really popular,gacha games I think they are called? now do not work on an emulator and announced it a few years back. The game called Dokkan Battle is one that I remember reading about, it saying that it will no longer support emulation. So I doubt that it will. As another person said on here, it is most likey for the Chinese market. I would say it will be on the P.C. at somepoint, as a lot of Finial Fantasy tiles and especially the remasters are all on the P.C. after a few years on consoles.

Why did they have to "remaster" the music too? It was much better in the original...

 

[cearp]

I'm not surprised the gba connectivity has already been brought up in this thread @Viri - I bet people are going to complain about Nintendo not supporting that!

don't worry, I guess there will be some mod to add the old stuff back in

Okay... I don't really care for the reason, honestly. Just that they've taken the time to bring it to 2 mobile OSes while ignoring a big chunk of the market. Unless they've got numbers to show that the MS platforms aren't worth developing for, I don't see any valid reason to exclude them.

Shut up and just take all of my money

I mean, Final Fantasy has always been either on Nintendo or Sony consoles. It wasn't until very recently that they started coming to other platforms. It's licensing, and I don't know why people can't understand that. This spoiled brat mentality that gamers have is just gross. What happened to people complaining about the lack of exclusivity that made a console worth buying? You want Switch or PS4 games? Buy a Switch or a PS4 and stop demanding that companies cater to you.

Nice projecting, bud. You missed your mark entirely. You also missed my point. It's not entitlement. It's a genuine concern. If you want to be condescending, do it on your own time. We're too far in to still be excluding platforms. Unless it's truly platform exclusive.

Projecting? Maybe don't use terms you don't know the meaning of. It certainly is entitlement because you're going "I deserve this and it's not fair". It's not that they think Xbox and PC aren't profitable, either. That's a great strawman.

No, that's not what I'm saying. You can quote me though? Nowhere did I say I deserve it. Nowhere did I whine and say "it's not fair", either. Already said I might get it on my Switch. Doesn't change my point, though. It's funny you talk about me misusing terminology, but you're throwing entitlement around like it's going out of style. Don't hurt yourself.
