There are a few PlayStation console exclusives that we'd obviously love to see on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, and one of those is the recent release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, which arrived on PS5 at the end of February. Speaking to The Washington Post this week, Final Fantasy Franchise Producer Yoshinori Kitase explained that FF7 Rebirth being a PS5 exclusive came with benefits that couldn't have been achieved with a simultaneous Xbox release. He also appeared to indicate that the next game in the FF7 Remake trilogy will be PS5 exclusive as well. Of course, none of this means we won't ever see these Final Fantasy games on Xbox, as the exclusivity only lasts so long and Square Enix can eventually spend the time porting them over. The decision to initially make them PS5 exclusive clearly worked out for the two parties though, and it could be a long while before they show up on Xbox.
