1. Competition. I don't recall so many JRPGs in early 2020 and so many announced for 2020 when Remake came out.
2. Less PS5 consoles in Japan and globally than PS4 (logical).
3. Remake (Part I) showed that the FFVII remake was top-to-bottom in many ways. It's a reimagining remake. Some people loved the changes, some didn't. And we now know the Remake will be 3 games. That was speculated back in 2020, but it could've been 4 or 5 for all we knew.
4. Price. PS5 games are more expensive.
