I like the remakes, but I really wish Squenix would just stop making things weird.
Whenever they get a taste of success they immediately blow up the budget, overspend, and then blame the market for not showing interest to match.

FIN is the best-selling MtG set of all time and there hasn’t even been a prerelease event yet. Blowing up the budget is plenty justified in this case.

I’m referring to Squenix’s habit of overspending on a franchise the moment it gets traction, and then not selling enough games to recoup cost, because there was never that much demand to begin with.
If they make money on this cross-over, then ok. But as someone with zero interest in MtG, but plenty in the new Final Fantasy games, this just feels like yet another expensive marketing stunt that will not get an actual return.
They lost money on Tomb Raider and Deus Ex, because they couldn’t stop themselves spending almost as much on marketing as they did development, expecting a fan base orders of magnitude larger to materialize out of thin air.
And then, instead of reducing scope to match the number of fans and thereby sales they could expect, they just axed the franchises.
