Sony's Partnership with Square Enix Has Never Been Stronger, Says Jim Ryan

PlayStation bigwig Jim Ryan made a surprise appearance during Final Fantasy 16’s pre-launch livestream overnight, where he said that his company’s relationship with publisher Square Enix has “never been stronger”. In the brief speech, he mentioned that Sony’s collaboration with the company “goes back to the start of PlayStation’s existence” and that he values “everything we do together and your commitment to our brand and business”.

Obviously this is all just corporate waffle pertaining to the fact that Sony signs a lot of console exclusives from the company, including the aforementioned Final Fantasy 16, but also the upcoming Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and this year’s Forspoken. If you read between the lines you could come to the conclusion that more console exclusives may be coming – at this point, we honestly wouldn’t be surprised if Kingdom Hearts 4 got money hatted as well.

Just hand the square Enix kingdom to yoshi p and his team.

My word have they delivered, final fantasy is well and truly back among the top tier.

S2Killinit341d ago

Well w that new demo, they are right to form a partnership.

Shadowsteal341d ago

If that demo is any indication to what's in store for the rest of the game then we are in for a treat!

I never felt a need to play demos for games that I was already planning to buy, but I went ahead and played the FFXVI last night. I was genuinely disappointed when the Eikonic Challenge came to an end. I was like "Wait, what's happening?", "Nooooo", LOL. It was so good that I'm going to start over from scratch once I get my hands on the full game.

@raWfodog

You might have to anyway if you want trophies. Some game carry over progress from demos, but they don't bother carrying trophy progress, so you end up with no trophy for story segments you completed already in the demo.

SullysCigar341d ago

With amazing games like FFXVI and how awesome FFVII Rebirth is looking, long may that continue. FFXVI demo is pure wow!

Magog341d ago

Square hasn't been putting out games this good since the PS1 days and it's nice to see.

RedDevils340d ago

FF X and Dragon Quest was pretty good...

Magog340d ago

I disagree. They were very uninspired compared to Vagrant Story, FF7, FF8 and Xenogears.

OK give us vagrant story remake or parasite eve

Crossplay Will Be In College Football 25 But Not In Online Dynasty Mode

EA Sports dropped their first gameplay trailer for College Football 25 today and the game looks truly amazing. Buried in the details of the game hype, however, is a significant letdown for those who play online dynasty (a significant portion of the userbase).

Resident Evil 1 Remake To Have Slower Pace; Will Further Expand On The Game's Lore

Many details for the upcoming rumored Resident Evil 1 remake have already leaked online. Capcom appears to have huge ambitions for it.

XiNatsuDragnel19h ago

Sounds interesting I'll be interested in the second remake of re1

Cacabunga19h ago

They game cube remake was mind blowing.. another remake would be nice but i was really hoping for Code Veronica first

-Foxtrot18h ago

If it's true they are probably leading up to RE5 with the Chris vs Wesker story

RE1, CV and then RE5

Terry_B17h ago

Their REmake is still one of the best 3 video game remakes ever made.

Cacabunga16h ago

Terry

Zero was not a remake but an amazing game as well. I hope they remake that one one day with some coop play.. great great game

maelstromb12h ago

The whole Lisa Trevor side-story was an incredible addition and really fleshed out more of the lore. It could have easily felt tacked on to artificially extend the length of the game, but it felt 'right' like it should have been in there from the beginning. I'm hoping they include that in the Re-remake.

Cant wait until they cut the basement section and replace it with something worse.

Becuzisaid19h ago

While I want another modern remake of 1, I think code Veronica should be first. The first re1 remake holds up amazingly well. Give CV it's due.

Scissorman19h ago

As long as the Crimson Heads are back.

Nerdmaster6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

I hope they don't. They were created mainly to justify Wesker not really dying, and they do create more tension, but they don't make much sense.
Re-reviving things that were twice dead? Why would the virus stop there and not keep reviving them forever (until the head gets destroyed)?
And also the characters knowing that destroying their heads keep them from becoming crimson heads, while having a combat knife and lots of heavy objects around to do it while they're down, but having to rely on lucky shots or burning them with oil?
They can create other stuff that serves the same purpose of creating tension but that makes more sense.
