Just a gronk who's played too much Final Fantasy



“It set a new standard for remakes” It’s the opposite. FF7R shows you what NOT to do in a Remake: 1) Split the game into 3 parts over 7 years Take the first 5 hours, and drag it into 40 hr 2) Call it “Remake” - but it’s actually a Time Travel Spinoff/Multiverse Sequel Sephiroth is “remaking” the story! ☝️🤓 3) Throw its 90s dark, gritty atmosphere in the trash. Retool it for Disney Adults + Marvel fans When FF7 Remake had sold 7 mil copies, Rebirth sold 2 mil on launch. Followed by a 91% drop-off a week later. PS5 Exclusivity was a factor - but if you think it’s the only factor, you are willfully blind There’s a reason no other company is copying the FF7 “Remake” model - or ever will
