| Kyuu said: I'd give Rebirth and Remake more time before writing them off as failures or underperforming. The trilogy's conclusion and Switch 2 ports might give them decent sales boosts. Remake is probably at 8 million+ at the moment, and could finish at 10 million+ in a few years. Resident Evil games arguably had worse quality fluctuations/deterioration, this didn't stop them from selling better and better. But I guess the Final Fantasy fanbase are some of the bitchiest and hardest people to please in the industry. FF is my favorite video game series and yet I skipped all games after 12 and until 14 Endwalker; that's 16 years of no Final Fantasy lol. I did get (and eventually finished) Type-0 (a spinoff) for the 15 demo. |
If we didn't get an Xbox port I doubt we'd get Switch 2 ports tbh.
Resident Evil's quality fluctuation was addressed far more quickly, with RE we know 6 is a travesty that's not even a debate at this point RE5 however while not a bad game is like XIII it was below the standards set especially follow the ground breaking heights of RE4. Quality wise RE still beat out FF even with one certified stinker in RE6 and mind you these games didn't have the chaotic development cycles that left fans waiting ages only to get a mess for example in 16 years SE had three messes in a row in XIII, XIV and XV where as in 16 years after RE4 we had RE5, RE6, RE7, RE2R and RE3R that's five mainline games to SE's three with three of the five RE titles being good, one being okish and one disaster.
