[寵粉] SE承諾在FF14後 盡可能將遊戲移植到Xbox

Square Enix Promises to Bring Games to Xbox 'Whenever Possible' Following Final Fantasy 14 Announcement https://reurl.cc/RzoQNZ BY REBEKAH VALENTINE POSTED: JUL 29, 2023 5:25 AM Today, Square Enix announced that its successful MMORPG, Final Fantasy XIV, is on its way to Xbox consoles after years of being a PlayStation console exclusive. And to hear the CEO of Square Enix tell it, it sounds like Xbox has successfully ensured that even more Square Enix games will end up on its consoles in the coming years. 今天，Square Enix宣布，其成功的MMORPG《最終幻想 XIV》在多年為PlayStation 獨占之後，即將登陸Xbox。據Square Enix首席執行官透露，Xbox似乎已成功確保未來幾 年將有更多Square Enix遊戲出現在其遊戲機上。 During the Final Fantasy Fan Fest 2023, Final Fantasy XIV game director Naoki Yoshida (Yoshi-P) welcomed Xbox head Phil Spencer onto the stage alongside Square Enix CEO Takashi Kiryu to celebrate the Xbox release announcement. While onstage, Kiryu made the following statement: 在 2023年《最終幻想》粉絲節期間，《最終幻想 14》遊戲總監吉田直樹(Yoshi-P)迎 來了Xbox負責人菲爾·斯賓塞 (Phil Spencer) 與Square Enix首席執行官桐生隆 (Takashi Kiryu)一起登上舞台，慶祝Xbox發佈公告。桐生在台上發表了以下聲明： "And one more thing: as CEO of Square Enix, we want to continue to deliver fabulous games to fans across the world. And of course, we want to welcome the Xbox community as well. And starting with today's announcement of Final Fantasy XIV coming in spring 2024, and whenever possible, we are planning to bring our games to Xbox for players around the world to enjoy. We're really looking forward to working closely with Phil and the Xbox team to make this possible." “還有一件事：作為SquareEnix 的首席執行官，我們希望繼續為世界各地的粉絲提供精 彩的遊戲。當然，我們也希望歡迎Xbox社區。從今天宣布《最終幻想14》在2024年春季 將推出在Xbox，只要有可能，我們計劃將我們的遊戲帶到Xbox，供世界各地的玩家享受。 我們非常期待與 Phil 和 Xbox 團隊密切合作，使這一切成為可能。” In response, Spencer said the following: 對此，斯賓塞說道： "Thank you Kiryu-san. we deeply respect the rich legacy of Square Enix, and we look forward to building on the relationship that we've established in bringing Final Fantasy XIV to the Xbox, and partnering closely with you and the Square Enix team on future games." “謝謝桐生先生。我們深深尊重Square Enix的豐富資產，我們期待在將《最終幻想 XIV》帶到 Xbox 時建立的關係基礎上再接再厲，並與您和Square Enix團隊於未來密切 合作。” On its face, the idea that Square Enix wants its games on Xbox consoles might not seem that strange, but there's a lot of fascinating context surrounding this statement that makes it a bit extraordinary. Square Enix has long been the subject of exclusivity deals with both Xbox and PlayStation over the years that have pushed its games toward one console or another for the duration of their launch periods, or even permanently. Most recently, Final Fantasy XVI launched exclusive to PlayStation consoles, and there's been no word yet on an Xbox release. 從表面上看，Square Enix希望在Xbox主機上推出遊戲的想法似乎並不奇怪，但圍 繞這一聲明有很多令人玩味的背景，這使得它有點不同尋常。多年來，Square Enix一直 是與Xbox和PlayStation達成獨家協議的主題，這些年來，這些協議將其遊戲在發布 期間甚至永久地推向一款或另一款遊戲機。最近，《最終幻想 XVI》推出了 PlayStation遊戲機獨占版本，目前還沒有關於Xbox版本的消息。 The gravitation of Square Enix toward PlayStation has been a serious concern for Xbox, though, as we saw during the recent FTC v. Microsoft trial. One evidence document revealed that Xbox had seriously considered buying Square Enix in 2019, though we did not learn from that document why the deal never occurred. Square Enix also came up repeatedly during the trial, with Final Fantasy XVI used as an example of the kinds of games PlayStation was buying exclusivity rights to in a frustrating but acknowledged part of games market competition. From the trial, we learned how critical it has become to Xbox to stuff its library full of content, and to ensure it isn't missing out on major games like FFXVI. In light of that, it's no surprise that Spencer has been courting Square Enix for franchises like Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Nier, Just Cause, and many more. While neither Kiryu nor Spencer elaborated on specifics, their willingness to take the stage together today perhaps hints at a future with fewer PlayStation exclusivity deals for Square Enix content, and more Square Enix content on GamePass. Today's Fan Fest keynote was a busy one. Aside from the Xbox announcement, we got updates on the new Final Fantasy 14 Dawntrail expansion, a major graphics update for the game, a mysterious T-shirt tease, and a confirmation that no, Dawntrail does not include Blitzball (sorry). https://i.imgur.com/Lg1Bjuu.jpg https://i.imgur.com/J3GZDm6.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Yzv2SSA.gif https://i.imgur.com/OF9KSYW.gif -- 今晚你選那一個姿勢?? ○ "○ ○" ○" (|\ (|\ )) )) ○╭○rz ○rz ○rz-st○ /`○rz /`○r27\" ○r27\" ￣′ ○=^ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 111.254.238.80 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/C_Chat/M.1690620886.A.30F.html
