Japanese gamers on X discuss why classic titles like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quests are less popular among the country's young people.

It’s honestly kinda crazy how long some games spend in development. The Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy is a perfect example of something that should’ve been quick but ended up being so bloated and took forever to make.

FF7Remake was announced in 2015, got stuck in development hell for a bit, released 2020. The sequel released 2024. The third one still hasn’t been teased yet. How many people are attached to a franchise if it takes 10 years to get the full story? I loved the first remake but dropped the second one, I just didn’t care about the story as much as I did ~5 years ago.

    FFXIV funds everything else and now everything sucks. They don’t make fun games anymore. Remake took so long I don’t even care to play anymore. First one had me hyped. Second one I haven’t even touched.

      Remake took so long I don’t even care to play anymore.

      I was going to buy the remake until I found out it was only partly done. Now that it has been six years and it still isn’t out, I’m pretty sure I’m just not going to bother.
