Yuffie's DLC didn't really do anything other than tease gameplay changes for Rebirth and dip into DoC stuff.

They were already nickel and dimeing you with the yuffie dlc which either only served as a DoC remake bait with a 0.000000001% of ever happening or further confirming spinoff non-canon shit as canon because "lol world building"

Besides, i don't think it's too hard to imagine what the gameplay would be like for Vincent, similar to how the gun is used in XV, TPS with maybe manual aiming for weak spots for extra damage and turning into the Galian Beast as a limit break for you to control for a limited time.

I honestly believe FFXVII might be their last serious attempt, if that fails then it's lights out for SE. But before then i'll try to enjoy KH4, FFIX:R and FFX:R.

It´s probably because the Yuffie DLC was also utter trash and only lonely faggots bought this to goon at her 3d model. Who would buy a Vincent DLC?
Also they see how people slowly jump ship, less and less zealots keep on buying the next entry of this skinnerbox. I was also caught by this shit once.
They only want to wrap it up to find a better cashcow since FF7 R didt had the expected effect of milking retards infintely.

Yeah the sales for Remake after porting it everywhere but Switch was basically FFXIII level (7mllion). The sales for Rebirth aren't even confirmed to have cleared FFXIII-2 (3.5million) and that did well enough for them to give it DLC.

They've actually bungled FF7Remake like no other game. There's absolutely no way they expected their huge budget FF7 Remake trilogy to have sales comparable or even lower than FFXIII's slapped together asset-reuse Lightning trilogy.

FFXVI did at least 3million until they started hiding the figures. E33 probably has outsold every FF since FFVIIRemake. If E33 follows the typical JRPG sales curve of high upfront sales and a steep drop off it's probably more like a FFIX or FFXII, decent but not exactly setting the world on fire.

Square almost certainly want the FFXV and FFVII (original if you combine the Japan and Western launches) where they get like 5million sales first week and at full price, not after several months and only at $50.

Disc 1 was 2/3 script. Midgar was 1/3. They have split game that way. Rather then disc 1. 2 and 3.
Disc one was so dense with script they had to cut dungeons down to fit them in. That's why sewers and train yard were so small and short. Or transition between sectors. Remake is closer to what they wanted city section to be. Thank God for limitations of technology

Maybe it's for the better, it was in development for a few years but apparently they just cannot get it into a state suitable for release and they dumped some assets into that anniversary celebration instead.
I guess that tells you everything you need to know about modern Square. That complete inability to just recreate an older game with some updated mechanics and better visuals is almost impressive in a way.

Yuffie went to Midgar, worked with another Avalanche cell (the Avalanche cell with Barret leading was pariah because they were more open to violence), Yuffie learns the contact person is in Wall Market and the Avalanche tries to talk her out of going there which Yuffie rebutts with the famous "Don't worry, I can do adult stuff just fine". The contact person Sonon is older Wutaian guy who had lost his little sister to Scarlet who attacked Wutai some years ago and Sonon imprints on Yuffie because his little sister was similar. Yuffie and Sonon fight giant centipede robot and they do synergy attacks. Yuffie and Sonon ride a train and Yuffie get motion sickness and she moans and grunts and Sonon covers Yuffie by placing his hands on both side of Yuffie and it looks as if they having public sex. Yuffie and Sonon inflitrate Shinra HQ and end up in same elevator with Scarlet who talks trash of Wutai and at the end of the elevator Scarlet reveals she knows Yuffie and Sonon are spies and they are forced to go through weapon testing area fighting gauntlet of Shinra robots and at the end they face Scalet who's riding her mecha. They beat Scarlet and tie her up but then commotion is hear little farther away forcing Yuffie and Sonon to leave Scalet tied up. Nero, a Deep Underground fighter from Dirge Of Cerberus is released and Yuffie and Sonon need to fight Nero with their pain receptors dialed to 100%. Yuffie and Sonon beat Nero. As they are leacing Nero gets back up again. Sonon pushes Yuffie out the closing doors and he stays inside getting killed by Nero. Yuffie cries and runs and exits the Shinra HQ only to find Sector 7 plate falling. The ending scene is Yuffie riding a chocobo outside Midgar and humming Chocobo Theme.

Leaked from Nvidia, leaked from Epic once more a few years later as Project Momo. Did you even look at the anniversary stuff with its own website? New artworks for everything with subtle design changes, tons of merchandise. New recording of Melodies of Life with Uematsu and the original singer. Where was this effort for the more praised FF6 a few years ago, or even a fraction of it for FF8 last year?
It's just common sense. They were working on this in whatever form, it went to shit, now they're squeezing out whatever profit they can from a failed project by pretending they are celebrating the game's anniversary.

Why don't they pull a DQXI, go back to full turn-based for a game, and see what the reactions are? They were willing to dump resources into 3 (three) shitty FFXIII games, why not take a potential risk by going back to their roots?

Honestly I don't think they need DQ7 to test anything, 9 has always been a bigger title than that. This thing is just part of the usual fuckups but has been in the unfortunate position of leaking out. Who knows how many games like this have come and gone without making it to release.

It's not feasible to make a complete game in time and in budget anymore so they came up with this strategy and ended up delivering a shitooad of content while actually being able to release the games uncut. The only real setback was using Unreal but they tried their best to give it life and it's probably one of the most 'soulful' games made on the engine.

Because PS4 exclusivity is more limited than expected and is short term gains where they can't keep a major franchise going due to the limited exposure. FF7 isn't just making money off the game, it is a multimedia mix which is supported by other mediums and the brand and character value. UE5 means ports are less cost and time consuming and ultImately that outweighs the limited playerbase of PS5. Even releasing ports afterwards is not as successful as releases rely on the initial hype behind the intitial release. This series also suffers from 'I'll wait for the complete edition' procrastination.

its so bizarre playing this series after growing up with the OG. It has SO much baggage and lack of confidence to be itself. It's like every character is following so many coded rules that they all end up feeling bland as a result. Barret gets to go a little crazy and that's because in the OG he was the whacky one.
And the combat is somehow a spammy downgrade compared to the first part which showed promise. It was fun enough that I replayed boss battles and did hard mode. With rebirth I just don't care, synergy attacks are a mistake too and breaks the builder/spender and defensive play that remake had.

I mean you're gonna say I got filtered somehow but I am just speaking from experience I think it was a direct downgrade. I have beaten all KH games critical level 1, not to 'gamer brag' but as context for where I am coming from with my opinion. Remake felt like a slower grounded take on KH combat and I really clicked with it, it was KH but strategic. I just don't get the same feel in Rebirth and it gets worse because the game is bigger so each boss isn't as finely tuned as Remake. I mean in Remake I was replaying the hard fights for Abzu, airbuster, Reno, Rude, Rufus.. etc. In rebirth I couldn't name a single fight I want to replay kek. It was a HUGE downgrade to me. Even combat, they did something but the trinity of block, parry, dodging is just not the same in Rebirth. They leaned way too hard on gay synergy attacks lol

Honestly, we need to start beating kids with clothes-hangers again.

Rebirth received high critical praise, sweetie. And nearly every one of those reviews attributed it to the highly expanded combat.

And yet you're still so insecure. All that universal praise, high scores, praise, and still... one person online saying they didn't like the combat and you lose it and start talking about beating kids.

I got the exact same impression just from the demo. I ultimately skipped the game because the combat felt so off compared to the first one, among other reasons.

All because you can't stand to see one anonymous nobody online say they didn't like the combat in a game you have sworn to defend with your life despite its universal praise. Most unusual.

I mean if they actually made it a proper remake instead of a sequel people might’ve stuck with it.

you are right the boss fights are less memorable in rebirth

but the combat unironically unlocks with the chadley challenges. spell blade , power cleave , doppleganger etc. each boss has its special rules , however if all you do is spam attack. the fights get longer and you become bored

I think the Trials remake did well, but the protag of this new game seemed like too much of a fag for me to interested.

I said nothing about fromsoft or turn based of sekiro so I don't know where you're getting these implications. All I'm doing is pointing out your insecurity and tripling down on the schizoposting isn't the best way to prove me wrong, I assure you.

>Rebirth flopped so hard that they had to cancel the planned Vincent DLC
The only question is how obvious the DLC portion that they rolled into Part 3 is going to be. I bet it's going to be pretty obvious which part is the Vincent DLC.

Many people bought the Remake. This caused them to find out that the Remake did not interest them. As a result, Rebirth sold very poorly. It sold even more poorly than XVI, which apparently everyone fucking hates, so that's a real head scratcher. How did Final Fantasy VII sell worse than the most hated Final Fantasy game of all time? The world may never know.

Source for this claim?
Your ilk have been claiming the same nonsense about Tactics Ivalice as well.
SE has not released official figures.
No, your tiny Steam playerbase does not count as a source.
