IX was released more than one year later on consoles.Yeah, at this point I'd be surprised to see a Final Fantasy game not release on PC a year late. They have done it with IX, XII and will do it with VIIR. Making XVI an outlier would be strange.
I wonder why Sony is paying for this. I doubt this pushes anyone towards Sony platforms that doesn't already have one.

best way to play the game at launch (on the x1x)I know nobody remembers but that game also launched on Xbox day 1.

Yeah I completely agree! I'm not close to done but I really like it and as you say the buggyness is there in so many ways;And I'm finished Wasteland 3. Overall, a very good game. It's a shame that general bugginess, choppy performance, and godawful loading times detract from it. Usually I try to 100% games like this, but I didn't even try to because I was growing frustrated with it. Still, I spent 42 hours with it, and it's a huge improvement over Wasteland 2. Really excited to see what they do after this.- I'd love them to do another CRPG, maybe with a new setting.
Yeah, I guess it's just Square being Squareheaded as usual.I still don't think Sony will block a PC version - I reckon a lot of it is on Square's reluctant to release on PC more than anyone else. Could be similar to the Ubisoft PC version delay shenanigans.
Regardless, if Sony are paying to keep games off PC, and thinks PC gamers are going to suddenly break and buy a PS5 to play [insert game x here], they are sorely mistaken. Many PC gamers won't even install EGS, a free launcher, for exclusives - fat chance they plop $500 down on a console.
Plus I doubt Sony would be releasing games on PC if they thought the power of exclusives was enough to lure PC gamers to their platform - if you were a PC only player thinking of grabbing a PS5, the entire PS4 library, including all those exclusives, sure is attractive if there's no chance in hell of them coming to PC. To just port big hitters like Death Stranding, Horizon, probably Bloodborne, probably The Last of Us Part I & II, probably many more, seems insane if they are then paying money elsewhere to keep games off of PC for a mere 12 months.
Personally speaking, exclusives don't do it for me anymore. EGS has taught me a valuable lesson: it's fine to wait, and third party moneyhatted exclusivity is a shitty practice that I'm not going to reward any platform holder for doing. There's only one thing that would convince me on a PS5: if Sony puts backwards compatibility in from PS1-PS4, and also includes digital whitelisted PSP/Vita games, I'd be in. They should spend their money adding value to their platform, not taking value away from others.
If FFXVI is coming to PC later then I think it's Square's own decision.Regardless, if Sony are paying to keep games off PC, and thinks PC gamers are going to suddenly break and buy a PS5 to play [insert game x here], they are sorely mistaken.

ABSOLUTELY, here I am, with 2 copies of RDR2 and 2 copies of GTA V, cause' I'm stupid and I can't wait, funniest part? console versions were dropped, PC versions were finishedI feel like the PC double-dip strategy works a few times
I mean, most of us are willing to wait YEARS just to play wherever we want, hell, I waited over 1700 days just to play Digimon the way I wanted, how long can I wait? unlimited cause' my mantra is "patience is for the winners, it has rewards" so yeah, if I can wait for something I LOVE profoundly that much, I can wait an eternity for something I like but that's it.but all they're doing is training their customers to wait. It feels unsustainable and takes their customers for granted, and may lead to some ill-will in the future.
Most people are just going to wait until the game in case is where they want to play and that's wonderful cause' it means people can be patient and can control themselves just because they have personal rules, we are fucking experts of that and companies are not stupid, they know most won't double dip but if a little percentage does, it will be worthy.Additionally, the generation shift is such a stupid time to do it, as we're at a point where potential customers are less likely to go multiplatform on hardware, especially in a climate where the expectation is that a game is going to come to everything, even if there's a wait for it.
I am the opposite. There are dozens of games I would have bought on release out of blind loyalty to the series/developer or the sub-genre if they were available on day 1 on PC. After waiting for months or years, the excitement is gone, I already watched it completely on Youtube, or the game was just bad. Adding to that are half a dozen EGS exclusives that I will not buy out of principle (and for some of them I am happy that I didn't bought them, because they were bad or duds)ABSOLUTELY, here I am, with 2 copies of RDR2 and 2 copies of GTA V, cause' I'm stupid and I can't wait, funniest part? console versions were dropped, PC versions were finished
Double dipping might work once and on some hardcore fans, but you bet it's due to trepidation and good word of mouth.I feel like the PC double-dip strategy works a few times, but all they're doing is training their customers to wait.

especially as FF12 is still more expensive than FF15 on Steam.Double dipping might work once and on some hardcore fans, but you bet it's due to trepidation and good word of mouth.
FFXV got shattered by everyone after release, and despite being a port that would go above and beyond, there's a good reason why the DLC was shitcanned, future PC improvements stopped, multiplayer abandoned and leadership scattered to the winds.
People did not want to double dip and the sales were clearly pathetic, on top of being a massive failure as a GaaS.

This is the thing that gets me with FF games. FFVI still terrible, but has been maybe salvaged by mods. FFVII has some also awesome mods that improve the visuals while maintaining the original style (ReMako HD mod, I'm thinking of here). All these great classic games but what about the new ones? $30+ all the time even on sale? WHAT?????? Never more than 50% off. Some of these games are YEARS old. Where's the blow out sales on FFXIII trilogy? Same with FFXV and FFXII Zodiac is by all accounts a GOOD port of that game, but they never put that game on sale??? What gives?especially as FF12 is still more expensive than FF15 on Steam.
I have no idea. Even with the 50% sale, FF12 is not in an impulse-buy or nostalgia territory. FF13 and FF15 go on sale for 7 to 17 bucks. It's like they set FF12 with a remaster price and never bothered to lower it.This is the thing that gets me with FF games. FFVI still terrible, but has been maybe salvaged by mods.

They gave them 5 3090's and called it a day, damn.Nvidia to buy Arm Holdings from SoftBank for $40 billion
SoftBank bought Arm for $31.4 billion in 2016, and the sale is seen as a move to raise much-needed cash as it has recently lost a significant amount of money in its high-profile investments in companies like WeWork and Uber.www.cnbc.com
I am one of the few that remembers. Even in Japan when the Royal Edition came out, Japan mentioned the Xbox One version (but I think that one was digital only?)I know nobody remembers but that game also launched on Xbox day 1.
Dang how will AMD respond?Nvidia to buy Arm Holdings from SoftBank for $40 billion

Correct. Double dipping works when your games is really good. If your game is shit, not only there will be very few double dippers, staggered release will make people lost their interests.Double dipping might work once and on some hardcore fans, but you bet it's due to trepidation and good word of mouth.

Wait for AMD to unveil their cards because NVIDIA could have a potential countermeasure (I'm talking about the TI models) just in case AMD magically blows minds.Should i be unreasonable and buy an rtx3080?
Wait for benchmark.Should i be unreasonable and buy an rtx3080?
I don't think AMD has something comparable to Nvidia on software side.Wait for AMD to unveil their cards because NVIDIA could have a potential countermeasure (I'm talking about the TI models) just in case AMD magically blows minds.

Thanks for the list. Hellsign looks fantastic! As it has been in EA since Nov 2018, hopefully it will have its official launch soon.Some more EA games that I'm actively following/playing to add to the list:
Stellar Tactics has been in EA since 2016 and Gear City since 2014! Both are single-man labours of love but they are constantly updating, tweaking and adding content.Thanks for the list. Hellsign looks fantastic! As it has been in EA since Nov 2018, hopefully it will have its official launch soon.
