It really is time a part of the final fantasy fandom needs to accept that FF16 while trying new ideas just flat out wasn't all that interesting as a final fantasy game.

The PS5's sales in general has proved again.....and again........and again.........and again etc., that exclusives just isn't that huge priority no more for those that play on a playstation. Every other game/IP that is finding success on the PS5 like resident evil, monster hunter wilds or elden ring for example isn't held back by being on a console with "few exclusives, too expensive", but for some reason this is something that is supposed to really hold back sales for FF16 in particular?

If the PS5 was that much too blame for the game's sales, why hasn't the game automatically flew off the shelves when ported to the PC? I don't even buy the "well it has to release at the exact same time" excuse, there has been plenty of PC releases that came out way later than the console counterpart that will still sell great because the game is a quality game people really want to play. (Red dead redemption 2 and rockstar's other console first releases for example).

Did you miss the part where I listed other reasons
