Multiplatform and marketing would be very helpful.
Multiplatform is self explanatory.
As for marketing, they definitely did not pull out all the stops for Rebirth. I did not see a lot of ads for it online, nor where there Square Enix dedicated streams for it, events, and the like.
When FFXVI was launching, they pulled out all the stops. I saw the game being advertised as banner ads, and even video ones, on relevant websites I visited, and the devs spoke about the game often too. Billboards, streams, they did it.
They did not such thing with Rebirth. Kept quiet and under lock and key.
I'm just wondering if they allocated some of the marketing budget towards developments costs based on just how little I saw of Rebirth leading up the game's release.
It's either that or they thought being mysterious was a good thing... which, well, of course not.
