Yeah this is exactly my line of thought here.
If all of this is because of the remake then I get it, with VII’s 25th anniversary it also had a new game coming out but if IX is getting all this with no game on the horizon then they’ve literally just ignored VIII completely.
No special 25th anniversary logo
No new merch
No special or new soundtrack (see IX’s Timeless Tale release)
No new game
No special live concerts (and VIII’s music is fantastic)
You’re really telling me Square Enix couldn’t have done something? Even if it was just one thing out of the list above.
