FF7 Rebirth has reportedly sold half what Remake did in the same timeframe

I get it, but one part would take soooo long and it would be so expensive to make.

But maybe they needed to make it 2 parts instead of 3, and communicate it clearly it's gonna be only 2.

Remake + Rebirth as one game in 2024 and then second part in 2028.

Cut the fluff to get it to 2 games.  Don't need two dozen silly side quests.  Some of the story expansion was too much.  Battle simulator could be dropped, same with the mini games.  Bigger isn't always better.  

Yep this stuff makes me roll my eyes if they complain about dev costs.  Like make it more focused and it'll be a better game and less expensive.  It just dilutes the main experience.  Hell I loved FF16 for just having zones that were fairly linear and loving that in Stellar Blade too.  Gimme semi open world and more focused stuff.
