Remake also I feel did a good job of setting up the lulls in the main story so that doing sidequests makes sense at that point in time. Like this is the chapter where the story is Tifa has to do errands or you're hanging out with Aerith for a day. In Rebirth, Barret is like "let's go south, far away from Corel"... But a green marker just popped in North Corel... And it heavily involves Barret. So it feels weird to interrupt the msq to go do that side quest.This has never mattered to me in any game. I don't care if the planet's going to be destroyed in 5 minutes. Let me spend 10 hours racing chocobos.
Basically there is almost never a point in the story where it makes sense that the gang is taking the time to help people out.
Rebirth is telling a big story in an open location in a big game.No it's not. It's a very tiny story (chase Sephiroth, then way later, get black materia) in a huge open game. Remake had a much more detailed story which is why it was able to spend so much time on its story. There's no juice to squeeze from Rebirth's story so all the time had to be minigames instead.
Also R3 is gonna all be AI generated quests with AI Sephiroth voice acting and shit so all this discussion is moot anyway

All other issues aside, I think the way Remake and Rebirth have handled Sephiroth is extremely disappointing. I haven't seen a single new player have any investment in him as a villain whatsoever.

This does not sound promising for his results in the next Character Battle.
he definitely ain't winning a rematch with Tifa, I'll tell you that

Tifa's debated 2018 run would be a complete stomp these days. MMX, Luigi, and Sephiroth would all get crushed by the might of the Italian Senate.Luigi's Mansion 3 sold better than Remake and Rebirth combined!

Remake took 5 hours of content and stretched them into 40Rebirth took 15 hours and stretched it into 120. Same ratio.
The difference is that the original obviously rushed through Midgar and it was straight up bad.
It has ober 250 hours of 100% free main story content, the barrier could not be lower!
Nothing is forcing anyone to have to play through that 250 hours if they don't feel like it's worth it
The barrier there is more how everyone says "Well, it finally gets good after you slog through the first hundred hours."
Honestly, it makes sense that FF sales aren't that great anymore since the only (supposed) great game that's been released since FFX is XIV, and that's an MMO with high barriers to entry. I guess not every series can be like Sonic and Pokemon and sell with mediocrity off of name recognition alone.Rebirth is the best reviewed game released so far this year!
the barrier could be much lower than 250 hours, that'd be nice
Yeah I think whats actually happening is people realising that Sephiroth was always one of FFVIIs weaker parts!
Rebirth is the best reviewed game released so far this year!Nearly as well reviewed as FF12! We will certainly talk about Rebirth in the same breath as 12 in the future
yikesI know, it was a huge barrier. But Remake did fix it fortunately.

Maybe people just dont know what they like!No way, especially not with final fantasy
Maybe they should have catered to newbies and just played the story straight hmm?
Like instead of worrying that all of gamefaqs knows the twist
These sales figures are hardly surprising. FF's a series for MillennialsWhy is FF more for millennials than any other series its age?
