Rumorzone: FF7 Rebirth selling half as well as Remake

Board 8

The point is that I don't want to spend 250 hours on one game, no matter how good it is. With the amount of time I have to play games these days, beating all of FFXIV would take me literal years if I only played that and nothing else. Not interested.

Yeah I think whats actually happening is people realising that Sephiroth was always one of FFVIIs weaker parts!

Another "yikes" take, huh. It's fine if you don't like Sephiroth, but he's a huge reason FFVII became as popular as it is. I'm no fanboy of the guy, but he's used very effectively in the original game and it's something I've only grown to appreciate over time.

And I'll reiterate that Sephiroth isn't around as often as you think, but the way the game uses him makes it feel like he is. The voice in Cloud's head isn't always him either. Sometimes it's actually the young Cloud from the Lifestream dive.

Like Sephiroth being seen at all in Remake is more than you see him the entirety of Midgar in the original. In the Shinra Building, he's there but you never see him. The first time you actually see him is the Kalm flashback, and then you don't see him in the present day until the cargo ship.
