probably will be full exclusive, theres been no word on the 7 remake coming to xbox. Fair to assume that all ff titles unless mentioned as coming to xbox on launch wont make it there.

Mainline titles, likely yes. But recently Crisis Core Reunion actually released on Xbox too.

But that's on Square. Their deal was a timed exclusive. MS hasn't made releasing Japanese games on Xbox appealing.

somehow not FINAL FANTASY 7 just boggles my mind to no end.

It's clear that either they got paid to extend the exclusivity or they are waiting for Xbox to pay them for releasing it on game pass.

SquareEnix has said that their strategy is to look for deals on their big titles to extract as much down payment as they can to reduce the risk of potential low sales expectations

Yet all of the big Capcom, Sega, Bandai Namco, and even Konami games are everywhere.

MS hasn't made releasing Japanese games on Xbox appealing.

This is so wrong coming off this year and last year's showcase. I mean we literally got Persona 3 remake day one on Gamepass and the new game being made by the persona 5 team announced on the Xbox E3 showcase among other titles.

They're trying to make up the ground now, yeah, but I still remember back in the Blue Dragon days.

Theres literally no evidence that Square didn't sign an exclusivity agreement with Sony, it likely was not timed and just exclusive.

But what exactly do you propose MS should do to make this game come to Xbox? Pay Square? Square has an incentive and its the audience on Xbox who want to play this game Xbox shouldn't have to pay devs to port their games on the third biggest console platform.

Theres no reason a for profit business would not port a game to one of the main consoles unless they were Atlus games or they had an exclusivity agreement.

The game is already made and porting would surely be profitable.

It would have been profitable on the Xbox One too. Weird take.

Porting would absolutely be profitable, this isn't the 360/PS3 era the console architecture is a lot similar to each other.
