| Liquid_faction said: I think one aspect people aren't looking into as to why it's sales are half of the remake is that because the naming scheme is confusing. I'm not an OG fan of Final Fantasy, played only 15 and 16, but when rebirth came out I thought that it was like a remaster of the remake or maybe like a Pokemon variant like Sword or Shield. So consumers that aren't hardcore FF fans probably think that as well. But hey, I could be wrong and I'm probably the only one that thought of it like that. |
I think the naming scheme is only hurting it. "Remake" and "Rebirth" already sound alike, so anyone who isn't paying attention can easily think of the former when hearing or seeing the title of the latter. I'm one of those people; it took me a while to realize Rebirth is a different game around launch, and I asked a friend what the difference is.
It's like how people heard Wii U and assumed it's a Wii add-on instead of a new generation of console.
