\"Final<\/p>\n

The director of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth<\/em> has come out in support of Xbox as a platform, even suggesting he wants the games to come to the platform in the near future.<\/p>\n

Speaking in a new interview, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth <\/em>director Naoki Hamaguchi said he wants to bring the Final Fantasy 7 <\/em>remake trilogy to as many platforms as possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn terms of Final Fantasy 7<\/em>, there\u2019s nothing really we can say at the moment, but certainly I do want to bring Final Fantasy 7 and the Remake series to as many players out there as possible,\u201d Hamaguchi said to Gamesradar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cSo we want to create that situation, that environment, where more players can play the games in future, and we want to look in that direction.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hamaguchi went on to say that while it used to be feasible to release a game exclusively on a single platform like PlayStation, making gamers get that platform, that’s no longer the case.<\/p>\n

“I think this goes beyond Final Fantasy 7,” Hamaguchi said. “It really is a change in the industry, and I think certainly we’re feeling right now that the industry has changed in terms of there being so many different platforms and environments that people play games on these days.”<\/p>\n

Coming from this, it’s worth noting Square Enix’s aggressive new multiplatform strategy<\/a> has led to Final Fantasy XIV<\/em> come to Xbox. The publisher teased the MMO landing on Xbox was just the starting point<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“It’s so much more diversified now, so I think that’s that’s probably why our CEO, Mr. [Takashi] Kiryu, made that decision to move more in the direction of multiplatform \u2013 that’s just the way that the industry is going,” Hamaguchi said.<\/p>\n

While he doesn’t come out and say Xbox specifically when talking about bringing the Final Fantasy VII Remake<\/em> trilogy to other platforms, he’s definitely a fan of the console. Xbox is also the only other platform that it hasn’t been ported to that could run it – considering the Switch’s inferior hardware.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is just a personal opinion now, but I\u2019ve got an Xbox myself,\u201d he replied. \u201cI think it\u2019s a great hardware platform. I do like Xbox.\u201d<\/p>\n
