Overview

• Final Fantasy VII Rebirth received widespread critical acclaim, including a Metascore of 92, but is underperforming in sales compared to the first installment.
• The game's launch did not coincide with any major console releases and occurred outside of pandemic conditions, which may have impacted its commercial success.
• Despite the sales figures, Square Enix is unlikely to alter its plans for completing the trilogy, with the final installment already in production.
• The development team for the third part remains unchanged, promising efficiency but raising questions about the impact of consistent staff on innovation.
• Speculation about the future of the Final Fantasy VII series continues as the current trilogy nears completion, with potential further expansions discussed.
