flop after flop after flop 
These games should have been on PC day one. Could have still skipped Xbox though. Now that people have waited they'll likely feel like they can wait longer and just wait for deep discounts. This series doesn't have GTA level clout to do stuff like this. At the same time they probably took money from Sony for an exclusive window. Weakened the series overall to do that.
Sucks for them, but sometimes what was poppin 25 years ago may not hit the same for the next generation.
Kinda like how Lara Croft was a cash cow from 1996-1999, but while the 2013 reboot sold well, all ensuing attempts were diminishing returns. Sonic is another example.
With Cloud, Sephirtoh, Tifa, Aerith, Barret, etc, they're not bad characters but i could see why modern gamers in their teens and 20s aren't gassed about them or about the overall IP.

Naw, people were excited about the remake.
They just tried to milk it and sell 3 full priced games off that hype and people quit caring.
They could have made a simple remake something more like the resident evil remake games and it would have done great. Would have cost way less money to make, and they could have done it with a couple of the popular FF games just like RE.
But naw they chose to try to milk the FF7 hype for 10 years and 2(3?) different hardware generations.
Then on top of that they taking bags from sony to NOT build their audience elsewhere
Clear example of trying to be greedy blowing up in their faces

This is the exact same thing I mentioned earlier. The audacity of trying to eek out 3 full priced games out of a remake was too much to bear, even with the deviations from the original. I nearly completed Remake but had no interest in Rebirth. Old heads were begging for years for a remake, but the true turn-based one. They said 'the new generation wants action'.
BG3 and other games have proven people still will buy/play turn based games.This is the exact same thing I mentioned earlier.

A true turn based FF7 remake woulda been lit AF and opened the door for square to start putting out lots of their old IP.
They fukked that shyt up now. Don’t really know where they go from here

Yup. Too bad BG3 came out afterward the remake was conceptualized. You just reminded me, that's another game I have yet to finish.
I need to stop replaying games I've already beaten, but they tend to be the most fun to me.
Nah, no one thought that
