Even more Final Fantasy games look set to give Xbox a miss... just what is going on with Square's hit JRPG series these days?

, frequent chatter about hit MMO Final Fantasy XIV coming to Xbox has led to nothing after almost a decade, and indirect messaging around upcoming timed PS5 exclusive Final Fantasy XVI has fans worried it'll be FFVII Remake all over again.

Now, it looks like we can add six more games to the pile, with recently spotted ESRB console listings for the remastered editions of the first six games in the series spotted over onFinal Fantasy Pixel Remaster collection seemingly not coming to Xbox The Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster collection offers a spruced-up set of the first six games in the world's biggest JRPG franchise, letting a whole new audience enjoy the NES/Famicom and SNES/Super Famicom classics today. The remasters arrived on PC and mobile last year, with the new ESRB listings suggesting that PS4 and Switch versions are set to join soon — potentially as shadow-drops for the franchise's 35th anniversary at the end of this week.

It seemed like Microsoft and Square had a good thing going for a while there, with Xbox getting the remastered versions of FFVII, FFVIII, FFIX, FFX, FFX-2, and FFXII. All of these titles, as well as the FFXIII 360 trilogy, even made their way into Game Pass. Of these, only Lightning Returns remains in the service and its days seem numbered, having joined in early March and with the other games lasting roughly 12 months on Game Pass a piece.

Disappointed with Square's ongoing avoidance of Xbox with one of its biggest brands? Would you have played these remasters on Xbox if they did get a release? Let us know!

Lol xbox kids mad crying here... IDK maybe next time buy and support thier games LOL have fun sucking :)

SixersOctavian That's really a shame! Hope they will come sometime on our Xboxes, too. Meanwhile, take a look at 'Chained Echoes', that is also on Gamepass now. It's a really nice 16-bit retrostyle J-RPG. Makes fun :)

Backhand deals.

Simple. They found xbox and its game pass ecosystem not profitable.

That Final Fantasy 1~6 pixel remaster are bad quality, just wait the play report, maybe xbox user will be please didn't had these game.

Sony fucking Microsoft again with paid shilling to Enix. But xbox is the company that is hurting the industry.....right....

Meh who cares. Much better games out there.

You love to see it 👌

The problem isn't only with SquareEnix, it's also with CapcomUSA_ MegaMan and BandaiNamcoUS for example. And on SE, is not only with FF7R and Pixel Remasters, is also with Octopath Traveler II, Neo TWEWY, FF16, etc. Xbox is always skipped by those companies, it's annoying.

Square Enix is in the business of selling video games, to bring their games to a platform that mostly embraces a subscription model isn't good business.

Well, let’s sell hella crisis core reunion copies, and if that’s a hit, I’m sure more will come to Xbox

Well here i am enjoying Chained Echoes and after that Eastward. So im fine.

I mean y'all are gonna be skipping a FF game that came out today anyway.

I like to call this the elephant in the room. What does Sony, Nintendo, and square have in common?

It's funny how final fantasy was just on one platform back in the day I think the past couple of years Square Enix is a joke of a company

Square wants the GP money...

Disappointing to see a big company like SquareEnix ignore a major platform time and time again often porting games to everything EXCEPT Xbox

Here the only one solution is XboxP3 take of the hand of the pocket and buy the Square Enix and after this make the historical correction!

And then Square complain for not making enough money... I see Sega/Namco/Capcom (except for SF6!) pretty happy with their revenues... I wonder why...Hmmmm.. Yay, maybe cos they release their games on MOST platforms! 😆 How Square can be so dumb, seriously... Maybe Sony...🫤

Ugh

I’d like to know as well

I think Square Enix is requesting money for it's ports on Xbox. It just happened that Xbox has paid FF Origins, Chrono Cross, Diofield, Star Ocean and Crisis Core so far. This is just my speculation

As an Xbox fan and a final fantasy fan, it’s bloody annoying. “But a ps5/switch” I hear you say. I have both. And a pc. And a steam deck. And none of that changes the problem at hand.

I am done with Playstation brand. Bring the games to xbox or I won't buy any games

It's called money upfront.

phil know that square enix is done with xbox

When my favorite Xbox site draws attention to Square-Enix’s Final Fantasy crimes against humanity 😈

Definitely buying a PS5 now

japan is done with xbox

Secretly bought out by Sony, although I imagine a deal of that size would be near on impossible to hide.

I just don't understand SE anymore. Let's say 'Sony paying them to keep FF off Xbox' is the reason. Then why Crisis Core is released on Xbox? Or let's say 'They can't make money on Xbox' is the reason. Then why Star Ocean and Diofield are released on Xbox? It's just... Weird.

Sony pays them to keep FF off xbox

Would be great to at least hear from square a reasoning behind it
