Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has performed well, but now at Square they only trust in multiplatforms

It had to happen sooner or later. In the current video game landscape, where, unless a studio is completely bought out, there are no exclusivities that matter, at Square, they have said that it’s not enough for them to make profits when they could make, well, a lot of profits. Would it be enough for you, if you could earn double, to stick with what you have? Maybe Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has been a success, but with the industry as it is, it will always be a relative success. And they want to put an end to that once and for all.

It’s Never Truly the Final Fantasy

Do not fear, because the third part of the Final Fantasy VII remake is not going anywhere: the critics have considered it a success, it has achieved nominations in almost every award of the year and Square does not want to leave players without the conclusion of a work that -now yes- should close the story of this game with a flourish, which has been under construction since 1997. There is only one problem.

And the fact is that sales are far from being the big hit they expected. For example, in Japan, during the first week, it only sold 262,656 copies, far from other titles in the saga like FF16 or FF7 Remake. But that doesn’t worry the executives at Square too much, as they are still seeing profits. But, as we said… not enough. And they have made it very clear.+

“Although we are satisfied to have had a certain number of sales, with the current modernization of the industry we cannot be exclusive to a single platform. I believe we have to offer the game to as many players as we can”. In other words: even though what we have is working, I think I prefer to open the relationship.

And it’s surprising, because Square has always struggled to maintain exclusivities, even if they were temporary, but since this summer they have been pursuing a multiplatform strategy… Logically. If everything goes as it seems, it is possible that the rest of their upcoming hits (Dragon Quest 12, Kingdom Hearts 4, Final Fantasy 7 Part 3) will be released directly on all consoles and on PC. Live to see it.
