Square Enix has no plans to port Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII onto the PS4 or Xbox One.
Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII’s design director Yuji Abe told IGN the following:
We’re not thinking about it. We set out to achieve the highest possible quality we could on the current generation of consoles, the PS3 and Xbox 360. That’s what we’ve been trying very hard to do, and we think we’re almost there. Our mission is presenting the best possible experience for gamers on those consoles. We’re not thinking about anything else, including next-gen consoles.
Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII is the final game in the Final Fantasy XIII series. It will conclude Lightning’s story and hopefully resolve all of the loose ends at the end of the game.
Don’t worry Final Fantasy fans as Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn on the PS4 while Final Fantasy XV will hit the PS4 and Xbox One sometime in the near future too.

December 6, 2013 at 7:33 PMNot releasing this game on ps4 will be a mistake many people got rid of there ps3s i still have mine but i would much rather play this game on ps4. I think this is a stupid marketing move and will hurt there company money wise. Hopefully they will wise up and release it day one on ps4 as well if nothing else as a digital download.

February 12, 2014 at 8:21 PMit would be nice to have a digital download at least. who cares if it doesn’t test the quality of the game. neither does the ps1 or ps2 games that you can download from the psn. to be honest I would like it so I am not waiting as long for the load screen.

June 10, 2014 at 12:30 PMYet another SE mistake caused by quality tunnel vision and environment blindness. How could you NOT consider the timing of PS4 release? Derp.
