FF7 REBIRTH RANT: This game is NOT a masterpiece (Review)
In the world of video games, there are few titles as beloved as the Final Fantasy series. Gamers expect every title in the series, even if it's a remake, to bring in the best possible experience. This was especially true for the latest installment, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
Ever since its release, this remake of the beloved original title has been under intense pressure as gamers and critics alike were quick to label it a flop. However, the recent announcement of the best-selling games of the first half of 2024 (Japan only) cleared all doubts about a few games.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has sold a total of 339,000 physical units in Japan alone (in the first half of 2024). These numbers not only surprised everyone but also showed the effect the game has on the gaming community. This kind of sales figures show that the game was able to generate a high level of engagement and enthusiasm among the players.
