Naoki Yoshida, producer and director of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, has revealed in an interview with 4Gamer that Square Enix is looking to release its games simultaneously on each platform, as the publisher is looking to move away from format exclusivity.
Discussing the upcoming release of Fantasian Neo Dimension, Yoshida-san made it clear that Square Enix is looking to adjust its release strategy going forward.
Of course, we want you to play it a lot on other platforms as well. This time, we will also release the Xbox Series X|S version at the same time. In the future, Square Enix titles will be released simultaneously on each platform more and more, but since this is close to the first release, we would like Xbox users to play it as well.
