Final Fantasy VII Remake and Rebirth have received updates that fix the controller issue

Patches for Final Fantasy VII Remake are now available on Steam, the Epic Games Store, and PlayStation 5. This update resolves issues with controller vibration motors. The game follows Cloud Strife, a former SOLDIER, as he joins Avalanche to prevent Shinra Electric Power Company from destroying the planet.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the sequel continuing the story beyond Midgar, receives update 1.080. This update enhances the game's atmosphere and realism, improving the haptic feedback. The PC version launches January 23, 2025. This second installment in the trilogy expands the story and emphasizes exploration.

While Final Fantasy XVI's initial May 2024 sales were disappointing, sales eventually slowed, falling short of fiscal year projections. Specific sales figures remain undisclosed. Similarly, Square Enix hasn't released sales data for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, which also underperformed expectations.

Square Enix clarified that they don't consider Final Fantasy VII Rebirth a complete sales failure. They remain confident that Final Fantasy XVI can still meet its targets within the 18-month timeframe.
