stellar blade is an original IP with broad appeal (even if it may or may not be derivative in some ways. I dont know, i'm just cutting off the argument, because let's face it, everything is derivative in one way or another)
FFVII Rebirth on the other hand is a remake of a particular sequel in an existing IP that was milked to death even when it was still a relevant/semi-relevant game. it's been chewed up and spit out so many times, it's lost its flavor.
Stellar Blade being a new IP makes its success even more impressive.
yeah, but you also have to factor in when an ip has been over exposed... FFVII was kind of a runaway success when it came out, and squeenix has exploited the ever-loving fuck out of it.
Not to mention i've a feeling final fantasy may be on life support as it is. maybe i'm wrong, but I dunno how long they can keep recycling the formula before it becomes stale, lol.
If they kept the classic formula (being a traditional turn-based JRPG focused on fun) they would be doing fine.
Ironically, FF is dying because instead of following the formula that made it a success, they tried to follow trends, turned it into a shitty action RPG, tried to capitalize in dumb normie trends like sports and pop singers, now they tried to attract the soulslike crowd. They abandoned the people who made them what they are trying to capitalize on new audiences, and they got what they deserved.
good point, they forgot the engineer's motto KISS or Keep It Simple Stupid.
