FF16 is a massive flop. It should've been duking it out with Tears of the Kingdom, Elden Ring and Hogwarts Legacy or at least that is what Square Enix aimed for.
I can tell you with 100% certainty they weren't planning to go toe to toe with Pikmin 4.
Overall it's just weird, there's a massive RPG revival going on right now and what used to be one of the biggest RPG franchises has fallen off the radar.
The game reviewed well enough, had some big names attached, an interesting new direction and one of the most striking visuals of any next-gen game so far.
There also isn't really a chance for FF16 to get a second wind apart from a PC/Xbox release with Starfield and other new RPG games coming up, streamers won't go back to it.
Plus we all know Square Enix shadow drops these delayed PC releases the day after Christmas with 5 screenshots and a $90 price tag.
