I'm interested in playing this but I don't own a PS5 and I'm not buying a whole console for one game. They would have gotten a day 1 sale out of me if they released it on PC.

Knowing them, they'll probably do it. It'll just take a year or so.

Edit: that said, they should've done it to start with, and not kept it off of X-box. They're killing their brand and mindshare here.

Originally, they did plan to release it on PS5 and PC. My guess is Sony made a timed exclusivity deal with them, which Sony had done with companies before. SE shout themselves in the foot by taking it.

Ditto for me. I have all Final Fantasy games released on PC, but I can't justify buying a PS5 for a single game. I've chosen to watch a let's play of the game. Glad I did because it's definitely not a Final Fantasy I'd play a second time.
