Welp we'll know by Tuesday if Rebirth sold poorly globally. That press release should be happening within the next 48 hours. If you hear radio silence from Square, or something along the lines of "The Remake series has earned a total of 10 million globally!" then hoo boy.
Fucking sucks. Makes me feel old as shit to see Final Fantasy at such a low point. I remember when it used to be if you were a gamer, you knew what Final Fantasy was.
Final Fantasy is a Millenial brand and we millenials are getting old. Mortgages,rent,wives,children,etc...We don't have the time,money and energy to support all our childhood ips anymore.
GenZs have their own set of ips to support and Final Fantasy may not be one of them.
Another problem is the way this """remake""" was structured. For new audiences it may be too confusing and expensive to hop in.
>It's a remake of an old game but it is also a multiverse sequel so you better play the older outdated game to fully understand.
>Oh you have to pay $70 but that is for disc one,disc two will come in half a decade,disc 3 will come in a decade. Each for $70.
>Each new disc will come on a different hardware so you better buy a PS5 and a PS6 if you wanna see the ending of the story
