"Since Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn went into its beta-phase earlier this week for the PlayStation 4, numerous subscribers of the MMORPG were concerned as to how the game would transfer onto the console. Well, we have good news to report in accordance to that; the folks over at Destructoid were able to comment on their perspective of the brand-new PS4 version (which is still in the throes of beta but will open to the public on Apr 11 for early access and Apr 14 for everyone else.) And so far, every word in regards to the switch has been met with undivided praise."
With five weeks until Dawntrail enters early access, Final Fantasy 14 announces some payment changes that will affect specific users.
After its latest games didn't meet sales targets, Square Enix is going multiplatform but the company's track record isn't convincing.
Square Enix been multiplatform for decades, a few exclusively-deals doesn't make them any less multiplatform.
SE needs to go all in optimization. Broken PC ports won't help its case, especially with big releases like mainline Final Fantasy
It's actually simple. What doesn't inspire confidence is Square allocating their budgets on the wrong projects such as Forspoken, Avengers, Babylons Fall and Foamstars.
Square has always been multiplatform since PS3/360 days which 80 % of their games are. People kick up a fuss over PS exclusivity but not Nintendo which has more exclusive projects console exclusive from Square.
FF16 has done ok but not enough to fix the blunders that the past mistakes Square has made with some of their projects. FF7 Rebirth is unclear we'll see a PC release for sure so it's hard to say so far not as good as they would of liked.
Then again unrealistic expectations. If it weren't for Sony these games would at least had another 2 years development time. So some people need to be realistic in that regard.
Square Enix just really need to revise its expectations. Maybe consider a change in strategy on dev end as well. Multiplat will help for sure but only good games that are marketed well will sell
In a town hall that took place on Monday, Square Enix president Takashi Kiryu reportedly confirmed imminent layoffs in the U.S. and Europe.
What did NA and EU did anyways? Just translate or something? I would say it might help them get back to there roots but DK.
Glad I got to this article before the trolls got here.
I played beta phase 1 and 2 and because I had time left on my subscription I was able to play my existing level 50 summoner in beta phase 2. Let me start by saying this game runs at a crystal clear 1920 by 1080p @60fps. When surrounded by 20 or so people the fps does not budge and continues to surprise me. The ps4 version competes with expensive high end pcs and I am proud to say I will be taking my keyboard and mouse to the ps4 version. The controller works well and I am surprised on the touch pad also; when it all comes down to it nothing is like key binding and ps4 gives it's players the opportunity to do that. The game as a whole isn't perfect and will grow and get better as patches come but when it comes to quality and picture and fps this game gets a 10/10 from me.
