Probably would’ve done better if they hadn’t charged such insane prices for them.
Especially FF7 rebirth lmao - a decades old game, made pretty, but still a decades old game -
ff7 rebirth 1.3x MORE EXPENSIVE than Baldurs Gate 3 at normal prices. Out of touch motherfuckers…
Genuinely was interested in getting ff7 until I saw the price tag, then immediately said nah fuck that and noped out for good

It’s so vastly different from the original game. Not just in how it looks but also the story and gameplay. It is entirely new in almost every respect outside of the basic plot premise.
In a good or bad way? Not that I’m getting it till the price drops to a reasonable level
I think it’s good. The changes to the plot are seemingly about an alternative timeline and the more the story deviates from the original, the more weird monsters show up to try and “keep things going the way they’re supposed to.” I only have the first one, though, so I’m left on a cliff hanger and can only guess what that stuff is really all about. :/
The changes to combat are alright. Like it’s not blowing my mind but it’s also not the same boring turn-based menu system. You move and fight real time and it feels a bit like a mixture of Dark Souls and Devil May Cry.
Well, you did change the story of ff7 a ton, which nobody asked for. I purposely bought the game from gamestop so Square Enix wouldn’t get my money for the game. ff16 on the other I bought on my ps5, and I thought it was great.
No lie, when I saw the ghosts in FF7: Remake or whatever … I forced myself to finish the game and there’s no way I’m likely to play any of the sequels.
Also, like, this is just me but I got into PlayStation games fairly late. I got a PS5 and I played God of War 4 and was gobsmacked about how good that game played and looked. When I played FF7: Remake, the game itself looked amazing and a younger me would have loved seeing those graphics. However, I felt the cinematics and storyline were SO lackluster. I think after seeing God of War 4 cinematics, the FF7: Remake ones felt so dated …
Btw, I actually enjoyed FF15, I know it’s like unfinished with drama and all that but I really did like playing that game.
How about they stop making the franchise a real-time action RPG.
My thoughts on the franchise conflict
if there’s 16 games then I would want to start at the beginning
7? That game is too old for me to play
They might have had more sales for Rebirth if they, you know, released it on everything and not just 1 system.
I know I ain’t getting it until I can get it on PC where I have the first one and can continue my fuckin’ save.
It would be hard to balance a game if some people have 100 hours of gameplay as a starting point and some people have none
