The Last Fantasy 16competitive expectations Final Fantasy 7 Reincarnation Looks blurry. The games won’t technically compete with each other in the marketplace because their release dates are months apart (FF16It was in June regeneration next winter).

Any game about a loved one Final Fantasy VII It will certainly be easy to notice. However, Square Enix did a great job promoting it regeneration Over the past three years, it has gradually evolved, such as last year’s 25th anniversary for the original FF7release On the contrary, there is a lot of information around FF16The plot and gameplay only arrived in December 2022 with the recently released world premiere trailer and gameplay preview.
Final Fantasy 16 will never compete with FF7 Rebirth
The Last Fantasy 16The same lack of hype makes things difficult This will happen once on the start date. However, the game can always be destroyed in the first place. regeneration will not only concern the credibility of the original FF7, But the fascinating story also changes Redo; What is the fan idea? regeneration will do it together FF7The story is passively promoting the game to Square Enix. but with FF16 It seems to be taking place in a new world with new characters, less players have to grasp before it launched, and they can only rely on their expectations from the previous game: The Last Fantasy 15.

The Last Fantasy 16 It has a lot to offer in this respect, but it also seems to rely on it FF15 – especially in its hacking and allegory components – in a way that hurts it. Therefore, it has little chance to catch the hype Final Fantasy 7 Reincarnation had
