Square Enix's Final Fantasy I-VI Collection Returns This October, But Still Not For Xbox

The only one I want 😭 ffvi is the best one 😢

Just give up, the amount of missing third party games is insane.

I wouldn t play square enix games if they were the only company in the world so im good

owns them all on PS digitally and fully intends to buy a physical copy for switch and PS when they release again

This is why a PS and Switch pairing is pretty much the best gaming combo currently. I say this as someone who owns both a PS4 and 5, Switch and Series X.

If you have an XBox only…snag a Switch. You won’t regret it, especially in situations like this.

I mean, yeah, missing most FF stuff (and other third party stuff) on XB is a huge problem, but, this isn't news of a new release skipping XB, it's a reprint of physical copies of an existing release that happened to skip Xbox. An actual XB release probably will happen eventually, I doubt it costs much to port, so hitting ANY additional audience with games that old is free money. This is the same release that was originally mobile-only and skipped even Switch for ages, inexplicably.

Maybe it'll be on the xbox mobile store lol.

One reason why Square has been losing money

Ok but can we get The Last Remnant Remastered on Xbox, the original was a 360 exclusive and the remaster being everywhere but Xbox while the original is delisted and not back compatible is f***ing offensive.

@TrevorP86 they don't know how to market, look at how they chose to release octopath traveler 1 and 2. Also they dont know how to push their ips. They had a game come out called triangle strategy iirc they could have just called it ff tactics and it would have sold more.

I only care about FF III to be honest. I could buy it on Playstation but I don't even use it anymore to be honest.

Hopefully, they arrive soon, now with their new strategy and CEO.

@Banjo- I hope so. I have 1 and 4 on the Switch and have thought about finishing up the rest while they are on sale right now, but I'd much rather have them on my Series X, which is where I mostly play.

@FarmDog08 Same here. I played I on GBA and IV on DS. I am playing the available entries on Series X in the meantime, but I want to play the six first titles on Xbox.

@Banjo- yeah, I'm an old school FF guy. I had the original on NES near launch. I've played nearly all of them. I'd love to have them all on Xbox. I currently have 7, 8, 9, X/X-2, XII and XV. I've played and finished XIII and XIII-2, but don't have them anymore. Never played Lightning Returns.

I have other means to play these games that we've all bought 3 times already.

@FarmDog08 You can get the XIII trilogy on Xbox digitally (backwards compatible) and, more importantly, they run in 4K on Xbox One X and Series X, plus XIII-2 and Lighting Returns at 60fps on Series S|X. Just check when they are cheap on one of the many sales. I got the three of them for very little money. The last Final Fantasy title I played was XIII-2, so Lighting Returns will be next! I also want to play XIV, but when I have a lot of free time.

@Banjo- The MMO ones are a hard pass for me. I just can't invest the time needed.

@FarmDog08 I understand that perfectly, but I'm willing to make a few exceptions when the time is right.

@Beetlebum91 Xbox just don’t have a big install base. Probably why a lot of Japanese and Asian developers skip the platform.

Yeah they do skip the Switch from time to time (but Switch still gets those types of games) , but that’s mainly due to the Switch not being powerful enough. They’ll certainly most likely port them to the next Nintendo console (providing it is successful).

Besides didn’t that one Phantom Blade Zero developer apparently state no one needs Xbox. That dude isn’t entirely wrong but it was very blunt.

@dskatter man if I had space in my apartment, I would have snagged a PS5 to be honest.

Personally i have no interest in this, they are overpriced compilations of easily accesible roms that in my opinion, look worse than the originals, but whatever, can't be that expensive to make an xbox port, right?

@anoyonmus I’m happy with my combo! My PS5 lives in a nice stand under my TV, along with my series X, Switch, and 4k blu ray player.

I’ve considered wall mounting my living room tv, but nah. I’m not that minimalist.

Maybe Square Enix is waiting to see how Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D does first?
Square Enix & Xbox is at Gamescon. So we may get some news maybe? 16 sounds like it's nearly ready for PC release with Nvidia driver update.

So this means that these will never get a physical release on Xbox. I think people got too excited about the multiplatform announcement. Xbox will always be Square Enix's lowest priority, so all these games that have already released will take a very long time to come, if they even do. Anyone thinking FF XVI is going to show up around the time of the PC port is in for disappointment.

Well why don't they take a chance and release it, then hope for the best as apparently they have re-newed the relationship

Well, finally I bought them on Switch. Still, a Xbox version would be good.

A few months ago? A lot has changed since then and I wouldn't be surprised if Square have already changed their plans for Xbox.

Still no Xbox and still expensive asf and never on sale for more than a few bucks off. Sad because it’s a really good collection. But the high price and lack of platforms aren’t doing sales any favors, especially with internet people insisting it’s “not definitive” and blah blah.

I don’t give a crap about the modern action game entries. I really just wanted these ones. Everything after 10 is junk anyway (with the exception of 12, which is great but not really much of a final fantasy game)

@TrevorP86 You really think selling 5 copies on Xbox will start making them money 😂😂😂

Whatever I don't think this is best version of og FF series.
For me,PSP 1 2 4,steam 3 3d, 5,6 (old version)
That's not pixel.

Sony get everything it's not FAIR

@dskatter switch is weak though and practically obsolete, should be telling people to "snag" a pc.

@Deityjester glances at the $299 or less for a Switch

Glances at the MUCH larger amount for a midrange gaming PC

...nah. The PS5 and Switch or Series X and Switch combos are a much better investment. Or wait for the Switch 2 assuming its fully backward compatible with Switch games.

@jesse_dylan The physical copies sold out immediately during the first run. They wouldn’t be doing a reprint if it weren’t selling well in general. Adding XBox would probably be a drop in the bucket.

That said…it would make the XBox the only console to be able to play ALL the mainline non-MMORPG FF games minus FF16. That would be kinda cool, since FF13 and the other 13 sequels are locked to PS3 only.

@dskatter no argument from me. It’s so late that they should not just port it but put it on game pass for a year too.

@dskatter On pc you don't have to pay for online, not at the mercy of game devs regarding game settings, can mod practically any game, games are cheaper and take less storage space on a pc, if you're gonna spend $748 on a switch and PS5 you might as well spend an extra 100 and get a pc.

@Deityjester Might as well skip the XBox, then. >.>

@dskatter I still enjoy Xbox, you can't beat the comfyness that is a console dashboard, no third party apps or launchers just everything there for you.

@dskatter would possible argue that a Xbox and Steam Deck/other PC handheld is a better pairing but each to their own.

@Sifi It ain't just Sony. Switch gets loads of games as well. Sony (gaming wise) is in a way much better position than MS is. Gotta be real about that. Doesn't mean Xbox shouldn't have a release though. This is crazy.
