I don’t think so on the PS5 exclusivity. SE said that it did not pay off in sales for XVI and I believe they said they weren’t doing that again
Comment on Final Fantasy 9 Remake May Not Happen as a Single Title

“Volume and Complexity: Yoshi-P noted that Final Fantasy 9 is a game with significant volume, encompassing various kingdoms, environments, and story elements. This complexity makes it challenging to fit into a single remake without substantial expansion and enhancement of its world.”
Because Lord knows there was never a time when we had multiple disks for a large game.
Go fuck yourself greedy fucking assholes… I’m sure they’ll pull some PS5 exclusive first bullshit too so they can milk every last cent possible…

It’s funny they say that, as if we haven’t played games like red dead that are much larger and more complex

Eh the “PS5 first” angle for FF16 and the continuation of Remake underperformed, and they admitted it themselves. I think PS5/PC releases are the future for them, so they can make more money at launch with minimal porting issues.

I really hope so. I’ve been playing ff16 finally since it’s on PC and it’s really good. I absolutely love how dark the story is lol it deserved better treatment/exposure on PC

It’s not about amounting discs. It’s about dev time. If it was one whole game they’d not only bloat the budget to dangerous levels, it’d likely be outdated by the time it’s finished and will either need to redo large parts of the game so it looks modern or release a range that looks like it should’ve released 5+ years ago.
Imagine if FFVII didn’t split up it’s remake, not only would we not have any of it right now. When the third part comes out it’ll all just look like a PS4 game on a PS6.
If you want to argue whether or not they should go balls to wall that requires them to make a series of games so large is infeasible as a single entry, and do something a bit more budget friendly like the original, then fair enough. But then it’d just be a remaster or something not that far removed.
