Square Enix Says A Console Version Of Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Depends On Demand

Recently, we have a little story through how publishers view platform announcements, and we particularly highlight the fact that Square Enix announced Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Steam and mobile platforms only. Now, it seems inconceivable that this collection of classic RPG remakes (all of which debuted on Nintendo consoles, remember) won’t be coming to console platforms, but there’s been no announcement yet.

In a recently published Q&A see various game details on Square Enix’s website (as indicated by Nibellion on Twitter), the publisher addressed its choice of platform and said that console versions will depend on need or “requirements”.

Here’s how reliable, no-nonsense Google Translate explains the second question in the Q&A:

Why did you choose Steam® and your smartphone?

Currently, Steam® smartphones are being distributed from “I” to “VI”, but there are works that have been on the market for more than 10 years, and maintenance is difficult. The evolution of smartphones is amazing. So first of all, I want to do it again with the same smartphone and Steam® so that everyone in the world can play for a long time. If there are many requests, I will do my best so that I can play in more environments! help me!

Whether you’re an FF fan or looking for a convenient way to try out the first half-dozen entries in a series of classic role-playing games, this ‘wait and see’ approach is at least annoying. It’s easier to understand that small publishers and indie developers are forced to recoup the cost of developing on a single platform before branching out elsewhere, but Squeenix is ​​hardly a native pop store, right?
