FFXVI only PS5?

Americans only want football and guns so it wouldn’t fit on Xbox, s

As an American I'm offended.

You forgot the bacon.

Bacon is good... However I will never understand the American obsession with covering everything they eat in unhealthy sauces made from mayo and ranch dressing...

JRPGs are generally going to be seen on Nintendo and Playstation since those are Japanese consoles. TBH the only ppl I know that bought the new Xbox series X are ppl that pretty much only play shooter games like gears of war and call of duty and don't own a PC. I dunno anyone that bought an Xbox series S cause... why bother with the downgraded version that would basically be like xbox's version of going from PS4 to PS4 Pro if the person already had an Xbox One? lol

In terms of game titles. I have all the hardware options I need for consoles along with my PC. One thing that has become a factor in more recent years in wanting to play the game at it's initial launch is it means I don't have to run away from spoilers for months or years waiting for it to become available on a specific platform.

I'm just going to wait a couple of years for ff16 to release on PC to play it. can't afford a ps5 right now. not worth buying a console just to play a single game.

Sometimes SE just want games to die, like Stranger of Paradise being on Epic.
Consoles shouldn't even exist anymore.

I'm disappointed with XVI being timed exclusive for the PS5, with other platforms nowhere in sight; but I still have Endwalker to finish, followed by FFXV, FFX, and FF7R. I'm not going to be running out of Final Fantasies to play for a while yet (sorry XIII-2). And then there are my other game backlogs.

Edit: Forgot X-2!

When FFX was released exclusive to the PS2, they initially expected that they wouldn't have as many sales as they had for the previous PS1 games, because there were fewer people who owned PS2s than PS1s. Nope! Sold 2 million copies in the first few days.

I will shut up and apologize if FFXVI's release doesnt see a huge number of sales due to people's supposed console unavailability but if it still winds up having them then I get to say "I told ya so"

To be fair, they announced at the beginning of the year that the PS5 shortage isn't a thing anymore and it's in stock in a LOT of places now if you just look around. 6 Months to grab one :P

Yeah Ive stated this before, anyone can buy a PS5 now and Ive already purchased mines last year for this game along with transferring all of my PS4 stuff into PS5. Btw do people know that FFXIV PS5 actually runs smoother than some PCs even in PvP content? Now unless you have a beefy setup, I found that the console version of this game runs at a constant 60fps or at least smooth enough where a couple of frame dips arent noticable at least to me. Also the fact that loading between zones is much quicker has me stunned.

Anyway that was off topic but just wanted to point out based on somebody saying that consoles should not exist anymore.

You need to be playing on an absolute toaster or multitasking like a mofo for a PS5 to outperform a PC, assuming you're running the game at recommended settings for your particular rig. That said, a lot of people do play on toasters, so that's not really any kind of revelation. I will however agree with you that the PS5 will on average load faster because of the beast of an SSD it comes with. There are much faster options available for PCs, but not a lot of people have them at this point. The processor is kinda meh, but that SSD carries it.

PS5 availability is still kinda iffy in some areas. They're still largely absent from stores in my area despite how much time has passed, for example. Good thing ordering online is an option, otherwise I still wouldn't have one. Kinda regret buying it, though. It's nothing special. So far the only exclusive I've found myself enjoying was GoW: Ragnarok.
