Japanese site Gamer talks to Yoshinori Kitase, Tetsuya Nomura, and Mariko Sato about FF7 Rebirth and Crisis Core.
The Final Fantasy VII Rebirth combat director has expressed that he wants the final part in the trilogy to offer players "even more freedom".
I love the game so far but please don’t make the final part a mini game fest
Everytime I get to a new part in Rebirth it’s “mini game time”
As long as it comes out on PS5 to have the entire series on one platform, do whatever you want
The combat is my favorite thing about Rebirth. Would be really cool if they can improve it even more.
A former Square Enix executive has shed light on sales expectations and budget realities of the Final Fantasy series.
Yea, I love how so many on here did simple math like 3mill x $70 = they made a profit.
When that’s not even close to how this works.
They take the years spent and equate the ROI to the sum % of stock prices during the years of development to do a baseline ROI and then you have the 30% taken out of every sale on a platform EXCEPT for Steam, which is 12%.
Nobody factors in the cost for production of physical media, the cost of advertising, marketing, and the loss from discounts/used game sales and they wonder why selling 3 mill for FF16 isn’t profitable. Or they don’t understand amortization and how games are supposed to generate profit over a long period of time.
Instead, they say Square makes unreasonable expectations for a game to sell when it’s the reality of the cost of AAA development and ROI. I wish I could go back and reply to comments where people jumped down my throat telling me FF16 and FF7 Rebirth were financially successful and I had no idea what I’m talking about.
This honestly does not bode well for the final part of the FF7 series. It often makes me wonder why they ever bothered to remake it at all if this is the thanks they get for making one of the greatest RPGs to exist. All that hooting and hollering at conventions for nothing.
They should have released a PC version too. And no not EGS but Steam and maybe someday GOG
Square Enix Golden Week 2024 Switch sale has lowest prices ever for Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion, Dragon Quest I-III, and more.
Yes please use PS5 tech.
PS4 has done its duty and can retire now.
It's about time we leave last gen behind.
I like the sounds of this! Take advantage of that remarkable PS5 hardware and deliver stellar results across the board, please.
I have hig hopes for this game, even though they said this is a remasted...while I though it was a remak...I'm still on board since I didn't had a PSP back then to enjoy this gem. Hopefully they can hint stuff regarding z{ FF rebirth and this new timeline/reality.
I’m glad Rebirth will be PS5 only, but I was glad to see the Crisis Core remaster being available on every platform. I think CC is just one of those FF games everyone should experience at least once.
