Oh yeah it was confirmed. Those other games had way more days to accumulate. Non-story. It will probably be higher than FF16.
Almost same digital ratio as FFXVI and bigger install base an it sold less at retail. And yes people care about Physical sales.Oh.. Physical sales? Yeah, not surprising. Physical sucks. Who wants that?
Japanese hands did not model this.
4 days tracked. Same as XVI.Oh yeah it was confirmed. Those other games had way more days to accumulate. Non-story. It will probably be higher than FF16.
Not to give the internet ideas, but what I first saw in this gif is Seph's shoulder pad looking like a giant mushroom head..
I don't think you could buy FFXIII in digital format, at least not at launch and I don't think it was ever listed in the PS3 store.Looking at those FF 13 numbers Square would probably do better with a longer marketing cycle. There was a solid 4 years of being edged and teased so of course the fanbase shot a huge load in the first week.
4,276,480 PS3s at launch of 13. It's hard to say without digital on this (PS5 has a digital only console and PS3 digital share was probably tiny), but physical sales have declined since 16 last year. Not sure how comparable they (16/7R) are though.FF13 came out when the PS3 install base was much lower.
Same goes for FF15.
Maybe the series simply isnt as popular in japan as it used to be. Halo has seen similar declines.
Japan is supposed to lean more physical.So about 80% of games are now bought digitally on PS..... umm how many discs was rebirth again? Can we got some digital numbers?
These narrative derived numbers are getting tiring, lol.
Boomers didn't play Final Fantasy 7. It's X gen and Millennials. But it's a bit too much precisions for what you try bring to the discussion.Only boomers care about Final Fantasy

524,217 and 277,082.What was the sales of XIII-2 and XIII-3?
Everyone I know that bought physical ps4 Remake all picked up the digital version. Any anyone who bought a physical version actually double dipped only because they wanted the collectors editions (like me). Two of the half-dozen of my friends picked up digital specifically to use on their PS Portal so I'm not sure how much we can read into this.
The numbers don't include digital though.Boomer is synonymous with old people on the internet. It wasn’t meant to be taken literally and you know that.
These numbers show FF is on the decline in Japan. Unless Square rethinks their strategy it won’t get better.
It’s not even close either. One is damn near a 10/10, while other is closer to a 5/10.Fuuck rebirth is much better imo
Digital is not going to make a huge difference.The numbers don't include digital though.
Good
Part 3 will fall under 200k
XVI is really solid, but gutting a lot of the RPG elements was such a bad move. I can deal with a lot of the rest. I'd love to see XVII just as retooled with XVI but with elemental affinity and a lot of the missing RPG elements.FFXVI was a completely fresh mainline entry in over a decade. The FFVII remakes have nostalgia to their advantage, but as a life long Final Fantasy fan, I think there's just something very exciting about not knowing at all what to expect with a new world, story, and cast of characters.
I was personally more excited for XVI than I was for Rebirth because of that, even though I enjoyed playing both to varying degrees.
Almost 1/3rd of FF7 remake. Crazy. People must have really hated FF7 Remake.
What are the digital ratios in Japan?
FF XIII was mostly physical if not only physically available. That and non portable consoles were still popular post ps2/into Wii era. Japan is handheld land, and the digital ratio of at 50/50 would put rebirth around 500k ish week 1 which is pretty good, but that can’t be confirmed rn.FF13 came out when the PS3 install base was much lower.
Same goes for FF15.

Because you say it doesn't? What are you basing that on?Digital is not going to make a huge difference.
It looks like the japanese only like the turn based RPGs while the western gamers like realtime combat.

What are you really arguing here? If you're trying to convince me that these numbers are somehow ok because they don't include digital, I'm not going to waste my time with you.Because you say it doesn't? What are you basing that on?

If we want a Part 3 which is as good and as magnificent as Rebirth, it would be better that the game performs wellWhoooooooooooooo
Carrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrres
It's going to perform well worldwide. People are freaking out because FF7R sold a little more shitty than FF16 in Japanese physical sales. Literally splitting hairs over tens of thousands of sales. lolIf we want a Part 3 which is as good and as magnificent as Rebirth, it would be better that the game performs well
I took a lot of heat for saying that FF7 Rebirth wasn't going to be a major needle-mover.
It has major limitations in front of it that for some reason people wanted to ignore.
We'd already seen the sales of Remake/Integrade and the sales of FF16. So the delta here, new sales would be people who played FF7 remake on PS4 but had not upgraded to PS5 yet even for FF16.
- Only Final Fantasy fans are going to play the game
- It's largely limited to people who played the first chapter
That number was always going to be relatively low.
I'm continuously surprised by how difficult it is to have reasoned discussions on things that are pretty apparent here.
With FF7 Remake, Square made a PR statement announcing 3.5 Million sold in 3 Days. Maybe they are waiting to surpass the 3.5 Million to do the same… But in UK Rebirth sold less than Remake and in Spain. Looks like is an WW decrease in sales compared to Remake, by a good margin.It's going to perform well worldwide.
