I will also agree that it being open world is a negative. Though it doesn't seem to be insanely long, with around 40h for the main stories in normal play. | ||

"its not multiple universes!, just... multiple worlds...with a different timeline...with different versions of the people we lknow... but it's all inside the planet and the lifestream, so not multiverses" It is multiverses. Yeah, all of these worlds seem to be within the lifestream, but it could be that the life stream "transcends" time and space. Also, while I agree that Zack and biggs could not know time because they are dead, makes sense, still doesn't fully explain it. Ellmyra and marlene are certainly not tdead and they are there. Also we see the whispers saving zack at the end of remake... It would be very different if we see Zack die, and then the whispers poick him up or something. In any case I'm annoyed at the ending and how badly they did one of the most iconic scenes of all time. And it would have been so easy to make it right: -Make it happen the same way as the OG. Sephiroth comes and Kills Aerith. -Or...don't sahow Sephiroth killing Aeirth. Show Cloud saving her, just that, and at the end everyone is mourning her except cloud and you got WTF and then it sinks in. Instead they did this weird "he saved her he didn't but he did" that's njust confusing. In the end I think I understand what happened, but the way they handled it made it lost all impact. As for why Rebirrth is selling less than remake: -Remake ius a good game, but nothing remarkable, so people are more weary and didn't rush to buy Rebirth (which is much better) . -See spoiler comment. All the weird ass sheningans from Remake and Rebitirth push people away. Specially when you factor in that if you took all those things out... the game wouldn't be that much different. -The marketing was bad. I said this before in this thread but instead of focusing on showing how this is one of the biggest games I've seen, with one of the most epic stories, they just show Sephiroth Hugging Cloud lovingly, Aerith Signing a Musical. Some Weirdoes doing weird things in the casino, Hojo Laughing like a kid show villian. "gangsters" dressed in yellow and green suits acting like fools.. etc. If I didn't know anything about the game, it would be so offputting... you can have those things in the game, some of them were in the original even, but don't focus on the on the trailers, seriously. -Last but not least, the lower ps5 owenership. But yeah I don't think the way they are handling the story, and the weird marketing is doing them any favours. Still, from what I undersand, the game is not a flop or anything like that. But when you consider OG FF7 is one of the best games of all time, and one of the most beloved... FF7 remake project should have made records...and it failed. How about now that we know it was the best selling game? + Show Spoiler + https://twitter.com/Genki_JPN/status/1757014717351211047 Meanwhile, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, which released at the tail end of the month, has also performed impressively, coming in at second place, while Square Enix’s Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth twin pack has entered the charts at No. 8. The newly-released action RPG has also shot up to No. 4 in the year-to-date sales charts. https://gamingbolt.com/helldivers-2-and-final-fantasy-7-rebirth-were-februarys-best-selling-games-in-the-us It’s one of two big Japanese RPGs to launch this year so far, following Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth at the end of February. Comparing the first two weeks on sale for both games, Final Fantasy just about beat Dragon’s Dogma. Note: Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth was only released on PS5, whereas Dragon’s Dogma 2 is on PS5, PC and Xbox. https://www.gamesindustry.biz/command-conquer-invades-european-march-charts-as-sales-improve-european-monthly-charts But everybody jumped for the conclusions they liked the most. I mostly loved the article from some expert how it sold half the amount of Remake while ignoring that Remake was sold at the end of the PS4 cycle with over 100m units sold... (and a COVID lockdown to it) I read somewhere that Rebirth was the 2nd best launch for a PS5 game, but people are all doom & gloom. eh, found it: + Show Spoiler + https://twitter.com/Genki_JPN/status/1765724488933748737 What were you expecting, every PS5 player buying the game? Hope it gets GOTY so it shuts down all these trolls "but the numbers are bad" (while they arent) edit: would like to say I mean the media trolls not the general userbase. | ||

But I'm not going to lie; I was pretty bummed out by the developing narrative that Rebirth wasn't selling well. I truly feel that Rebirth is an 11 out of 10 game, an all-time great, even putting aside my FF7 nostalgia and predisposition to like Rebirth I thought it was a shame that people were holding off on experiencing the masterpiece that Rebirth is, so I'm happy to see the narrative start to turn positive because I want the devs (not Square-Enix, but the actual production staff) feel proud for what they accomplished with Rebirth and be energized to make Game 3 just as outstanding as Rebirth. | ||

Now I don't know what form FF17 will take, but I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to live service it. I hope not, but I have no faith in them. The devs? CB3 and the like have my vote of confidence. The suits? Not so much. | ||

I'm towards the end of part 1 (just before Shinra tower) but the combat system is so... BLEH... I have trouble motivating me to complete it. Give me pure atb/round based or give me actual action, these weird hybrids are and will allways be bullshit. It's not that it's too hard (Iirc I died like once in the whole game), it just feels terrible to play. On top of that Midgard imho was also the worst part of the original. Stretching it with side quests and so on doesn't exactly help it's cause. | ||

Spending ATB provides a resource that can be used for Synergy Abilities, which function like Chrono Trigger's Dual Techs- which also provide additional effects like increasing your limit level, temporary infinite MP, Refocus, etc. Air combat is much nice for melee characters as soon as they can get into the air, though some like Red are pretty land bound. I don't know if those improvements will "solve" your issues, but there you go. | ||

 I finished it after over 250hrs, 100% the game. Hard mode seems incredibly daunting, but I will do it some day. But before I do that I really want to just do another run through my current file on NG+ and break the combat, some of the stuff I've seen is pretty nuts! | ||
