There would be a few reasons for this outside of "Japanese only like Japanese" comments.
1) no Japanese voice acting yet which filters a lot.
2) while Japan is still big on physical the big problem I noticed locally is that it wasn't stocked anywhere so people won't buy it.
3) it isn't being advertised at all and no one in Japan uses Xbox pass which helped it gets recognition and movement in the west. That also leads into it just isn't being advertised and pushed like it is in the west at all, no marketing when there isn't an established base OR in this specific case no marketing when there isn't socials or influencers to prop it up will effect it.
@cloud7s if you play rebirth in Japanese they are way more obvious about it than english. It isn't canon in Japanese.
Aerith isn't over her first love. And they even state she doesn't see cloud that way and even later go onto saying she only starts to like someone else because "he wasn't here anymore"
And now he is? Why does everyone ignore Zacks exsistance.
