It'll be a cold day in hell before I buy a 3-game series of a remake. Even the glory of hi-def Tifa bazongas can't entice me, and Pornhub has my back on that anyways.

Waited for the PC version of Intergrade, and then a sale. It was absolutley fantastic IMO. But I will still do the same with Rebirth.

Squenix keeps trying to spend more to get more, and it never fucking works.

It's always "our titles are performing below expectations and we will be forced to axe the project" when the whole reason things are going south is that they somehow thought there was a market to make hundreds of millions, then spend accordingly.

And when fans aren't interested in buying one game three times for full price:

Rebirth didn't need to be bigger and better than Intergrade. It just needed to be the same quality level (which was excellent, now with Rebirth its overshooting the sweet spot by a mile) and cost less than full-price.
