This is the goal to reach. Until you frenchies reach it, no need to talk to the king.
>>728527939took em long enough, i guess
>>728527939>Remake intergrade Wtf is this?
>shipped
>>728527939You're telling me that remake of the most popular jrpg ever made outsold a first game made by some literal who ex-ubisoft fags?HOLY HECKEROONI, AMAZING
>>728527939Ok so the first game only takes place in Midgard. And in the original game, that section of the game really only took up less than a quarter of disc one. So with that in mind, are we gonna have 12 different FF7 remake games to cover all three discs of the original game? Will there be a $5000 Windows edition later on so that FFtards can buy it? Am I a fagget for tgirls cocks?
>>728527939>The kingOf what kingdom?
>>728528043remake + the yuffie DLC
And what of Rebirth?
>>728527939>counting the base game and DLC as separate sales>shipped and sold
>>728528206>And what of Rebirth?im a huge remake fan, it was the perfect prologue. i bought it for both PS4 and PS5. i still haven't bought Rebirth because obviously im waiting for Part 3 since don't like this feeling of playing an incomplete game. i think most fans are like me. Square making this remake into a trilogy is prolifically retarded, prologue + main game like Kojima did for MGSV is just perfect. Also making Rebirth exclusive for the PS5 probably damaged sales as well considering that especially in japan the PS4 is more popular.
>>728528043Pc/ps5 port
>>728528116Less audience back then but sales were better, why?Not just for FF7 I mean. Do people just buy less games these days because they are just playing roblox/fortnite/whatever?
>there are more browns than whites in the worldOf course slop sells best.
im literally Cloud
>>728527939I'm going to guess that the pre-orders for the Switch 2 version pushed it over the edge. Quick google search shows that it comes with an exclusive Magic: The Gathering booster pack, and people have been going weirdly crazy over MtG FF cards.Is E33 on Switch/Switch 2 yet, or have plans? They should probably look into doing it if they haven't yet. Too big a market to ignore honestly (even though I personally would never buy something on Switch that I can play on a PC anyway; not about me)
>>728527939Switch 2 pre-orders.There's a bunch of older players (the main target audience for FF, especially for 7) who are not necessarily computer savvy who primarily just have a Switch.
>game that cost $190M vs game that cost $10M
>>728530061>>728530450I am going to do everything in my power to secure as many switch 2 sales for remake as possible.That includes, but is not limited to:>crushing remake negativity on sight>praising remake with every rebuttal>repeating that I've personally played it handheld and saying it looked great>talking about how perfect remake is for the switch>alluding to the possibility that the switch version has extra content>assurances that rebirth WILL run perfectly on switch 2 and will be out soon>assurances that part 3 WILL come to switch 2 so buyers don't have to worry about not getting the full trilogy>downplaying any concerns about game cards replacing true physical copies (eg: would you rather have longer load times if it were on the carts??)Needless to say, any concerns expressed about how it runs or its pricing will be SWIFTLY dealt with.Oh, and a big, big helping of "greatest action combat of all time" posting. Who would want to miss out on THAT?
>>728531626this is a pretty weird shitpost dude
>>728531812>being positive about remake and encouraging others to buy it is shitpostingWhat a miserable place.
>>728532134it's an awful cash grab. lacking originality and respect for the original material. you're on the wrong side
>>728530450This sales announcement was from September 2023. This had nothing to do with Switch 2. The game will probably be in the 9 - 10 million range when those sales are factored in with the other sales over the last 2 years.
>>728527939Considering Rebirth sold less than 2 million it must have been garbage. Glad I skipped it.
>>728532417It's actually great, but I don't blame you for skipping it after Remake.
>>728527939>AAA outsold an indie gameYeah no shit.
>>728527939Falseflagging with 7R as bait
>>728527939>shipped and soldEverytime
>>728528108Palworld outsold both several times over.
>>728532554and GACHA does better than Palworld, while we're bringing up completely unrelated types of games and genres
>>728532417Remake is rated higher than Rebirth because of all the unnecessary bloat so you aren't missing anything. It's kinda ironic how a bunch of ex-ubi devs made goty by imitating old school FF and SE turned FF into ubislop and lost to Astrobot and Metaphor.
>>728532639Remake is like 80% unnecessary bloat. Rebirth's bloat is shifted off to completely optional side content.
>>728532639>lost to Astrobot to be expected>and Metaphoroof
>>728532691I skipped the optional content and it was still a total slog
>>728532850I will say whatever it takes to get rebirth more sales.
>no Flopbirth salesKek
>>728532691It's actually crazy how right the critics of Remake turned out to be as soon as Rebirth released. So many criticisms that were previously invalid turned out to be true but only in the context of promoting Rebirth.
>>728532967That strawman just got fucking bodied dude, keep it up.
>>728528464>3 since don't like this feeling of playing an incomplete gameIt has a ton of content even if you decide to skip all the sidequests and mini-games. Just because it's an old game cut into parts doesn't mean it's incomplete. There's literally dozens of unique bosses and countless enemy types, and a lot of games nowadays have garbage enemy variety, so it's really appreciated. It would be cool though if they eventually combined the games into one, and adjusted your level, abilities, materia, etc so you play through all of them in one very large game.
>>728532967Reminds me of how when Remake came out everyone was mad that it was too serious and Rebirth would absolutely not have any world map or any of the silliness or the minigames and the whole game would be corridors and now that Rebirth is out it's a pointless empty ubislop world that spends too much time goofing around with minigames and joke cutscenes.
>>728533012Is there anything you don't like about the remake games so far?
>>728532417Most people who actually played it loved and it was reviewed extremely well by both critics and fans. Stop falling for things said by a vocal minority of whiners.
>>728533042This.It just goes to show no criticism of these games should ever be considered valid. They're always wrong, regardless of what they're saying.
>>728533053Not that anon but>RemakeSlow forced walk and talk segments, squeezing through tight spaces to hide loading screens, fighting Sephiroth at the end, everyone in Sector 7 living.>RebirthFighting Sephiroth at the end again. Final boss is way, way too long with too many phases. The Corel retcon.
>>728533085Everyone loved it but I still get mad if I see anyone say anything even slightly negative about it despite its success. What can cure this insecurity?
>>728528112To be fair, Rebirth covers right up until the end of disc one. There was some padding, but not like Remake. They'll easily be able to end it with Retard or whatever they call it if they don't completely change it and end it on a cliffhanger for a fourth, completely new game, which I'm half expecting
>>728533042There are people who will conplain no matter what. But thankfully there are people like you and me who will like and defend it no matter what. So at least it balances out.
>>728528464>im a huge remake fan, it was the perfect prologue.It doesn't bother you that a "prologue" is being sold for full price as its own game, and that the game's story/adventure doesn't even resolve in the same game unlike in the original FF7?
I would have liked E33 story with rebirth's gameplay, but theres only so much an "indie" studio can do with Unreal 5 assets.
>>728533053It has a lot of non-gameplay time wasters like walk n talk segments, or boring moments that hurts pacing especially on replays, but it's not a dealbreaker. I think Remake part 1 was worse with that.
>>728533189How many times are you gonna samefag seethe at me? I just criticized the game right here, by the way. >>728533117
>>728528108I regret to inform you that Final Fantasy VII Remake is not a Final Fantasy VII remake.
>>728533242There is no dealbreaker as long as I get to spend more time with those characters
>>728533085It's sitting at a 77 on Steam. That's worse than 16 and 16 was trash. Seems like the people who played it didn't like it either.
>>728533252I am simply saying there are people who would complain no matter what, and there are people who will like it no matter what. You disagree?
>>728533319The negative reviews for rebirth don't count. Look at what their complaints are, they aren't valid.The negative feedback for every other game is fine, but inspect the rebirth negativity and you'll see it's bullshit
>>728533406The complaints are that the story sucked, especially the ending, and didn't go anywhere and too many minigames + Chadly.
>>728533479Ok maybe they are fair
>>728528464>prologue + main game like Kojima did for MGSV is just perfectAnon The Phantom Pain wasn't complete either, it's like half of a game at most
>>728533479The minigames complaints are funny to me because the original also has constant minigames. >squats>motorcycle chase>cpr>junon parade>falling down the roller coaster>fort condor>snowboarding>the entire gold saucer>submarine gameI'm probably forgetting some too.
>falseflag thread with the same weirdass schizos talking to themselves
>>728533582It's just another criticism that was never valid. You can't complain about the cait sith boxes and say the original game is good too because it has the squats minigame
>>728533638My arguments sound so retarded when I see them coming from someone else
>>728528705FF7 was ahead in terms of design than most games back then. Also very few AAA games were released each year giving time for people to digest the games they already were paying and save up money to buy the newer release.
>>728529864Post Buster Sword or gtfo.
>>728527939false flag thread
>>728528464>prologue + main game like Kojima did for MGSV is just perfecthe doesn't know
>>728532296>lacking originality>respect for the source materialkek
Not buying another Final Fantasy game until it's turn-BASED. Cry about it.
>>728534510yes. there are creative ways to add content that don't involve cheapening the original presentation. tying in stories about zack and such would only require a good writer. same with if they wanted to explore what if scenarios.
After Rebirth I decided to never buy one of these games againBoring padded nonsense that felt like a schizo dream
>>728534820what game has "originality" and it respects the source material? Just for reference
>>728534282I just don't trust any positive posts about 7R anymore
>>728527939>shipped and sold>shipped
I feel like those who complain about rebirth padding or minigames are making an exception just so they can complain about somethingbonus points for the classic: "the minigames that were in the original are fine but the new ones, casually, are bad"
>>728533582i bought rebirth recently and i just got to Junon. So far, every minigame is optional. Are there going to be mandatory minigames? I really liked queen's blood Fort Condor is cool too
>>728533731>>728535074This!
>>728533319>steamPCfaggot opinions are not to be taken seriously. It has a 92 critic score and an 8.9 user score on metacritic, which generally gets review bombed by people who have never even touched the game.
E33 will never reach this much because it's on game pass, what a huge blunders by the devs by giving the game away for free like that, they must be regretting this immensely.
>>728533406>>728535931This
>NOOOOOOOOO THOSE REVIEWS DON'T COUNT BECAUSE....THEY JUST DON'T, OKAY????!!
That reminds me, people stopped pretending to dislike rebirth so its up 85% now
>>728527939games for white men always sell better after all
>>728536209>people stopped pretending to dislike rebirthrebirth had a lot of performance issues at release
>>728532461and yet no GOTY
>>728535202>Are there going to be mandatory minigameYes, junon have that cheerleader things, costa also have 4 mandatory mini games.
>>728527939>OG FF7>15mil on 28 years>FF7R>7mil on 5 years>Nostalgia baited into a trilogy>Can't outsell og and no GOTY>New IP by ex-Ubi devs>5mil on 8 months>GOTY
>>728537774>>7mil on 5 yearsthats a milestone reached like 3 years ago
>>728527939>two games outsold one gamewhoa no way
>>728527939FUCK YEAH THATS HOW YOU JRPG!!!!!!!!
>>728537774The FF7Remake sales were as high as they were going to be too because the older fans also bought it. Soon as we knew that they changed the story there was no reason to buy Rebirth. The next part will be even less.
gotta fool those shareholders somehow
>>728535931Don't have to buy the game to leave a Metacritic score and game journos give it bonus points for have browns and fags everywhere.
>>728538606>back then: "lol look at the steam score">fast forward to today>NOOO NO IT DOESN'T COUNT ANYMORE
>>728536405what PC game doesn't these days?
>>728536209Cool when it finally hits 80% all time in 5 years I might get it on sale. I don't waste my time with sub 80 slop.
>>728539027Get right now then!
>>728539169>less than 10k reviewsI don't play flops
>>728538504SE were counting free PS+ downloads as "digitally sold" numbers so the actual figures for people who bought the game must be catastrophic.
Once 7R comes to PC the sales will be incredible and all negative posting about it will disappear
>>728538968Arc raidersBattlefield 6Stellar blade
>>728539651There was a time when I genuinely believed this. What a delusional guy I was.
>>728539587i mean, it's not a problem when other companies count gamepass downloads to the sales numbers
>>728539736No, it's always a problem and everyone makes fun of>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>playersLike, E33 is on gamepass and didn't use its players even once.
>>728539793>E33 is on gamepass and didn't use its players even oncehow do you know that? Did they explicitly say that they're not counting gamepass downloads?
>>728539683>bro said battlefield 6
>>728539975They specifically said they were referring to sales, not gamepass numbers, yes.They know how people online think.
>>728539793No, I genuinely believe that people are only ever mean to SE and no other game or company ever gets mocked or criticized
>>728540081sure, but in that case, did SE say at any point that they were counting ps+ downloads as part of the 7m?
>>728539731I am currently repeating the same mistake but with the switch port.
>>728540069>refuses to accept reality
>>728540230Yep. They called them digital sales. And technically they are considered a transaction. That's why you always get a "thank you for your purchase" email when downloading the free game
It's time to ask questions until they break
>>728540413source?
>>trilogy that costs 200mi + outsold the 40mi one new IP titleAMAZING achievement
>>728539683KCD2
>>728528705People buy one game a year these days anon and the Ball/Gun theory holds.
Every company counts psn downloads as sales but SE doesnt
>>728541746source?
>>728541815My source is this guy>>728540230>>728540797He'll back me up and explain
>>728540413>>728541746so no source, got it
>>728541885And your source for >>728541746?
>>728542772you know the difference between psn downloads and ps+ downloads right? I know you understand the difference but i wanna see where the bait leads. Also, it is you who have to provide the source, since it's your claim that SE counts ps+ downloads as sales
>>728542991You don't believe SE considers PS+ downloads sales even though other companies do?
>>728543287>still no sourcei'll stop replying. Weak bait
>>728543287i would rather not answer that
>>728543441>>728543453So you think SE does not consider ps+ downloads sales even though other companies do. It's nice of them to be so honest.
>>728528206not playing it until part 3 comes out
A lot of browns ITT.
