FF16 and FF7 are the only PS5 exclusives I would consider, but two games aren't enough to buy a new generation - one that's almost over even. Maybe release some graphically worse PS4 versions like almost everyone else? Oh, and PC ports of course if they haven't.

16 and FF7 part 1 are on PC.

"If they haven't" makes me thing you aren't considering it particularly hard, since 7R has been out for a good while on PC and XVI just came out.

If anything this thread tells me Square maybe isn't great at marketing, or at least at making games that seem appealing to people not keeping tabs on gaming news proactively.

I think the second FF7 part isn't on steam yet? But personally speaking, while I'm slightly interested, I not to eager on these games. FF16 semms to have cut back on too many RPG mechanics for my liking and FF7 just isn't complete yet. I'll have another look once the 'full game' is out.

This is the correctest answer. I know sooo many people who still got their PS4 and refuse to buy a PS5 for 1 or 2 games they are interested in.
