WHY are Final Fantasy XVI Sales Low? Square Enix We NEED to Talk

FF16情報

It has been no secret that square enix and the final fantasy series has not been doing very good this generation. While the quality has been good for games like Final Fantasy VII (7) Remake, Rebirth, Final Fantasy XVI (16) and more, sales have not. At least according to Square and their high expectations.
Final Fantasy 16 recently released on PC this year after releasing on PS5 back in 2023 and the sales have been pretty low. With Square’s want to push for full multi platform, what do they need to do to make that a success. What does Square Enix need? Lets discuss.

    Will Square Enix be able to successfully go full multi platorm?

    I thought the game was great, but it had a really big missed opportunity with the combat. There was no incentive to actually use all of the combat mechanics. Some people go the entire game without even unlocking all the base combat mechanics or even realizing that you can view important details about eikon abilities in the menu because it never tutorializes you to show the details. The chronolith trials were in the right direction but they didn’t even unlock until the game is almost over, and the reward for doing them was not good enough. Like you should have been able to level up or add customizations your abilities by actually using them effectively and passing trials for each ability or something, starting immediately from when you first learn them.
    But that being said, the lore, character development, voice acting, music, and the grand spectacle of it all was still extremely enjoyable. It’s too bad they can never get the PC port done right, and they should’ve been multiplatform from the start.

    Tried to appease new audience while forgetting the franchise core players…blurry and lacking graphics around the combat area (console), stupid and repetitive button mashing combat, poor endgame, very poor replay value, removed story content as DLCs, disastrous ending (I´m tired of this self sacrifice shit and everybody dying, FFXV was the same crap). FFVII Rebirth is a masterpiece in comparison

    Serve them right for not going multiplatforms.

    Oh no… Who would have guessed making an action RPG with shallow progression, a dull combo system, and removing an ounce of strategy, while making it extremely bloated in cutscenes that never end wouldn’t make for a MUST HAVE game to own!?

    Don’t get me wrong. Enjoyed the story, but you could literally watch this game on youtube, and feel like you got the whole experience. So it’s no wonder that when it came out on PC… It sold poorly. This is a “game” sure, but nowhere near a must have.

    If it would have came out day 1 on all platforms… it would have sold better, but if you make timed exclusives. You have to make darn sure that your product is worth waiting for.

    FF16 is amazing, it’s one of my favorite games , but it’s a action cinematic experience with a good gameplay like GOW 3 , not a ”Jrpg”
    that sayd i buyed on ps5 and will not buy on pc just because they released after 2 years withouth improvements
    i think that the old square fanbase doesn’t exist anymore because square itself killed the jrpg division to make into gatcha franchise and failed hard , people like me who play since snes just play anything regardless if is an action or an jrpg, we just like new things that are not a gaas

    Really questioning the sales now!?, No airship and a dead MC (like FF15) from a long running RPG fantasy game?. I’m not suprised 😏.

    Because it deviated from some of the core foundations that make a final fantasy game great. That’s why it’s sales were low!

    It runs like shit on PC. I’ve got a high-ish end rig playing on high and it randomly chugs down to sub 20 fps.

    Square NEEDS a pc team. Bottom line.
