@Nalverus Yea, like Nintendo doesn't have 3rd party exlusives, SMT V, Bayonetta, maybe others. You're just a PS hater.
Personally, if this is exclusive to MS, i'd hate it soooooo much, but that's life, and gaming.
I will no way in hell buy an Xbox, even is Sony goes bust. I'll just move to the crappy hardware Nintendo makes, that will for sure get all JRPGs if Sony goes bust.
From what I'm hearing this may indeed be Xbox exclusive as they for sure have the money to do that.
But why didn't they announce it as an exclusive at the showcase, then?
I guess it's their sick way of keeping the fanbase wondering.
@koffing Don't want to argue, but the post had 1 million views a few hours after the MS showcase. I'd say it's a more powerful marketing platform than even Youtube.
@Martijn87, You don't understand. If you look at the Atlus posts on twitter after the showcase, they had 1 million views with 13 K likes. Those people saw just Xbox, and will not stick around for another 48 hours to check if it's also coming to PS.
The damage is already done, the marketing by MS worked, even if only half of those believe that it's exclusive to Xbox.
@SplooshDmg You've already written 10 comments on how you don't like the game. At this point you ain't convincing anybody that you don't have an agenda here.
@Cordyceps How can anybody prove they played it? Anyway it seems like you guys want this so much to fail, but you'll be proven wrong by the time reviews are live.
Same on Gematsu, people are writing whole essays on how bad the game is, when it looks like an objectively great game, but maybe not perfect.
And too many cutscenes? Then it's perfect for the PlayStation audience. We will be in heaven.
@Powerplay94 I've seen that, but honestly I don't think they will improve it much. Look at Elden Ring, same issue.
Japaneese developers have a problem with multithreading, they can't seem to balance the load across all CPU cores, and that creates bottlenecks.
Will play it anyway, as I did with Elden Ring, and will love it for sure.
People are running with this "but not stable 60 fps" just to discredit the game, but that didn't stop people from buying ER, as it won't for this.
@Jamesblob I have over 1000 hour in B3 and 500 in D3, I know what type of games they are.
What makes a game live service is ambiguous, to say the least, but I would consider anything with weekly/monthly balance updates and content updates to be a live service game, even if the said content is free. Also, must include coop or some sort of multiplayer.
I even consider GT7 a live service game, as much as Sony doesn't want to admit it.
@SplooshDmg You look like a Switch/Zelda fanboy coming here just to bash FF XVI.
It was known all along what this game is about. They said multiple times 15 hours of cut scenes.
We get it, you don't like heavy stories, don't need 5 comments about it.
People are already sold on the game through the demo (look at the poll), you ain't convincing many to not buy it.
Ain't playing the demo, but a physical copy is already preordered. To all people complaining that it's not stable 60fps, what did you expect? It's a Japaneese developed game, and they are known for not using all CPU cores, it's probably just pegging (overloading) 1-2 cores with rest of 'em idle, because it doesn't look that intensive on the GPU part.
People complaining about being too dark.
Check if your TVs have Shadow Detail sliders, and pump them up until acceptable. Newer TV all have this option.
@Blackmagehobbit ATLUS has a weak relationship because they are owned by SEGA.
Deep down SEGA directors hate Sony for killing their console business.
If their games didn't sell well on PS, they probably wouldn't even release on Playstation hardware anymore, out of spite.
Sony needs to buy these guys. MS will soon have the western RPG cornered with AB deal. Only desireable 3rd party RPG developer on the market will be CDPR.
@twinspectre90 "just a bunch of comic book crap." This is not trolling? In what world is Spider Man and Wolverine comic book crap? Maybe in your distorted world.
@UltimateOtaku91, @Scottyy Personally I'm not interested in either Zelda or Starfield, ES, Fallout. I'm just saying that it seems like Sony needs a competitor.
@AndyKazama don't think they will.
Though, I just saw that the Refantasy anouncement already has 13K likes on Twitter.
I don't think many will stick around for 72 hour to find if it's coming to PlayStation.
@InvaderJim This is what I'm saying, we're starting to see the effect of the Bethesda acquisition. Western gamers will move in droves to Xbox.
MS can buy marketing for as many JRPGs as they want, but that wont make a dent.
@PsBoxSwitchOwner As I said other times, Elder Scrolls is GTA level of brand power. Massive L for Sony on Bethesda, but that was a private company, they couldn't complain to regulators, like they are doing now with AB.
@UltimateOtaku91 May be, but most people can't aford 2 or 3 systems and Sony lost massive grounds on western RPGs with Bethesda and Obsidian, soon with Blizzard. People will sell their PS5s for these Xbox exclusives. Not worried about JRPGs, those will be mutiplatform for sure.
Many will sell their PS5s for Starfield for sure and many more for Elder Scrolls 6.
Now it's becoming clear what Sony lost with Bethesda acquisition by MS and will lose with Activision in the future.
The marketing by MS and Atlus is working though, people already believe these games are exclusive to Xbox, as can be seen on social media.
There is not way in hell this game is not releasing at least on Switch. It's a Chibi tactical RPG, they'll sell 3 copies on Xbox.
The Tactics game could be MS exclusive, if they payed enough, because I don't think it will sell that great, even on Switch. I mean, even P5 Strikers didn't do great, and that's the best Dinasty Warriors clone game ever, imho. Can't imagine a Chibi tactics game doing well.
That fact they give you a steelbook with the CE is their way of saying "Please also buy a standard version of the game". I'll take just the standard disc version, thank you!
@HMazzy111 The best thing about physical is that you can sell it, if you are not a collector, and if sealed you'll get close to the price you bought it for.

@Mythologue The PS1, PSP and PS2 ports are downloads.
The PS3 games are streaming only.
Re: There's Growing Concern Over Persona Dev's Metaphor: ReFantazio Being an Xbox Exclusive
@RicebinBernacky Depending of how much MS paid. If they got 20 mil $ then that probably covers what sales would have been on PlayStation.

Re: Preview: It's Virtually Impossible for Armored Core 6 to Fail
It amazes me that FromSoftware can bring out one AAA game a year, while most western developers struggle to bring out a game every 4-5 years.

Re: Sorry, But Games Are Probably Going to Take Longer Than Ever to Make on PS5
@xDD90x Right, backlogs are big anyway. They can take their sweet time.
Re: Sorry, But Games Are Probably Going to Take Longer Than Ever to Make on PS5
Seems like it, but there are a lot of AA games coming out and many more indies, so people have their backlogs full anyway until the next AAA is out.

Re: Reaction: Solid Xbox Showcase Should Give Sony Some Incentive to Stop Being So Damn Cloak and Daggers About PS5, PS4
@Scottyy Well said. I'm also not the target audience, but this 1, 2 punch by Zelda and Starfield in 2023 will make Sony reconsider their future plans.

@Golem25 Indeed, but this anouncing other platforms embargo is scummy as hell. I don't see the point.
Re: Persona 5 Tactica Launches 17th November, Persona 3 Reload Early 2024
The Tactics game could be MS exclusive, if they payed enough, because I don't think it will sell that great, even on Switch.
I mean, even P5 Strikers didn't do great, and that's the best Dinasty Warriors clone game ever, imho. Can't imagine a Chibi tactics game doing well.

@ChrisDeku This is what I'm also saying. It's far more popular on the PC platform.
Re: Yes, Diablo 4 Is Blizzard's Fastest Selling Game of All Time
Pretty sure more than half is from PC players. Isometric ARPGs and CRPGs usually have the biggest audience on PC.
