A release table could be interesting, but what happened here was squeenix took a year to ship the PC version, which is just silly.
I get they’re Japanese and devs there historically don’t care much about the PC, but it’s 2024 and if you’re not doing a simultaneous launch, it should be much faster than a year (unless you have a VERY good reason, but you shouldn’t).
There’s too many games moving around on the indie side and the some-number-of-AAAs side to keep track of everything, and this one just kinda fell off my radar completely in favor of other things. (I expect GTA6 to do the exact same thing for much the same reason, so it’s not specific to them.)
As for 15 and 7, I’ll admit I probably didn’t look further than a ‘Has the FF15 battle system!’ posted somewhere and went nah and just kind of never looked at it again. And, of course, I don’t have that FF7 nostalgia, since I managed to never play it when it was current content - we were a Nintendo household and uh, I didn’t even own a Playstation until like 2 or 3 years ago.
