@Scummbuddy u can already do it with the demo

@Widey85 It's a Square choice. Exclusive deal with Sony has expired months ago and the game is out everywhere less Xbox.
Prolly square doesn't consider remunerative porting the game there

@uptownsoul Yep, but I wouldn't be surprised if Sony cut the production after this joke by Kojima

@SplooshDmg I guess there won't be any sequel after this thing

@NEStalgia Literally when a third party game got a partnership with Sony or Microsoft and that game is shown at a xbox/playstation event with a specific trailer, there will be a multi trailer available at the exact moment when the event ends.

You could see it with Street Fighter 6 or Resident evil 4 Remake brought at the Sop sony with ps5 label and then with the multiplatform confirmed immediately after by capcom.

Event with the FF7 Exclusive there was a written at the end of the trailer which specified the the duration of the deal between Sony and Square, 1 year then prolonged 6 month with intergrade.

So nope what happened with Xbox and Sega for Persona in not the norm, absolutely.
Where, I repeat, Persona has been the longest third party game exclusive for Playstation and there will no exclusive here considering that Persona 5 Royal will be available in the same day for PS5 and Xbox.

@Banjo- Xbox is by far the weakest system in selling games, especially with jrpg genre, and it's the only thing that matters in the real world.
Steam never paid anybody

The proof that microsoft paid sega for Sega to port Persona is evident:
1) Persona, a long time Playstation exclusive (27 years), is now branded as xbox brand, that means xbox bought persona commercial rights, at least for this retro collection.

2)Xbox imposed the 48h embargo on the media, preventing atlus citing that persona 3-4-5 will arrive on playstation too. Something never heard in the industry before.

3) that happens after Atlus ignored for 4 times in a a row Xbox with:
catherine full body
Persona 5 strikers
Smt 3 remaster
Persona 4 arena remaster
These games are out everywhere less xbox.

@mousieone Simply Square wanna xbox money to port the game.
The game has been a success on playstation and it will continue on steam now.
Xbox is the weaker system there are no doubts about that, and there's no need to port the game considering the lower sales.

After all if Microsoft paid Sega to port Persona 5, which is older then FF7, why square should do it for free?

@Banjo- so are you saying that steam paid square to have FF7R on its store?
nah, FF 7r is 100% free and the playstation exclusivity has finished for some time now.
Simply Square has no interest to port Final fantasy on Xbox assuming that Microsoft pay them.

After all Xbox has just paid Sega to brand Persona brand as it was a long time Xbox franchise.

@Banjo- xbox have to pay as much as did with Sega to have Persona.
Rather, considering that FF is greater then Persona, xbox have to pay even more, for a game 2-3 years old.
