Expedition 33 really embarrassed Squeenix. Turns out you can just modernize turn based combat instead of transitioning to shitty generic action combat.
Yeah, I was planning to wait until the full game was released over however many installments before picking it up, but then I saw streamer named Sebbywebz do a half hour breakdown of how they absolutely butchered my favorite character, Cid.
I'm never going to spend a dime on that game because it is an atrocity. All anyone ever wanted from a remake was a facelift and they couldn't even manage to deliver that.
Remake/Game 1: 8.7 million by March 2025, 5 million in 4 months (April to August 2020)
Can't find the numbers for Rebirth/Game 2, but the Squeenix executives blamed it on making Rebirth a PS5 exclusive for a year
I would blame it on not making a faithful adaptation, but that’s just me

Persona 5 did it too and sold massively.
