CCG writes - "Overall, I cannot recommend this game. Technically, it's a glorified mobile game with a Dragon Quest coat of paint that is shamelessly overpriced. Morally, it's not all that terrible save for a few minor points of concern and can be handled by any young teen and up. As a Dragon Quest title and even as a game, this is quite disappointing and I urge any fans of the anime to stick to that, it shows more love and effort."
Square Enix CEO Takashi Kiryu revealed that Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's sales will be crucial for the company's financial targets, discussed Final Fantasy XIV's performance, and outlined his plans to improve quality and profitability.
Remake sold less than half as many units as the original, so it's not a guarantee. I do hope it's very successful though, then maybe we can get remakes of 6, 8, and 9.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake sold 7 million as of Sept 2023 (so just over 3 years)
The original has amassed 14 million (over 23 years)
@FFFanatic I want a Vagrant Story remake. But they don’t all have to be remakes they could continue some of the older IP they have as well with a new game.
@Eonjay
Ok, so it's sold half as many now. Considering it had 20 years worth of hype, and was literally the most hyped game when it launched, you'd think it would have sold a lot more than that. Square Enix spent truckloads of money marketing that game. It got outsold by Persona 5 and barely beat Dragon Quest XI, two franchises that are traditionally far less popular than FF globally. FF7R wasn't a failure by any means but it wasn't the powerhouse (sales-wise) that some people seem to think it was.
@FFF
I mean actual remakes, not the pseudo-sequel stuff they're doing with the FF7 Remake trilogy. The narratives in 6, 8, and 9 are stronger than 7's but most people haven't even played them. They deserve proper remakes.
@jznrpg
There are a lot of older IP that should be brought back. Vagrant Story, Lunar, Grandia, Breath of Fire (it's been like 8 years now), Golden Sun, etc.
O it'll sell. Pretty fking well to. This game is gonna do so good. It's alot of ours most anticipated game in awhile. As much as I prefer turn based I'm still looking forward to it. Even more then star ocean 2 remake(snubbed for awards as it was)
Have you tried the "classic" mode option in FFVII Remake? I haven't personally but I've read that it's a turn-based mode that relies on an ATB gauge.
Scheduled four days off work for this... Can't wait to dive in when it launches! I straight up bought a PS5 just for this game, lol. (Granted, there were other titles I wanted to play too. Just not as much as this one.)
Haha, I'm certainly not trying to finish it off in those four days. I just want to make some good progress in it! Besides, I don't want to go straight through it in a few days. Definitely wanting to take some time and savor it, as I go through.
Infinity Strash: DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai is one that you will enjoy a lot.
Whether you've been following the anime or manga, or just consider yourself to be a Dragon Quest fan, Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest The Adventure offers an all-around good time.
