Final Fantasy games traditionally sell around 60% of their lifetime Japanese sales on the first day. This is the case for FF10 and FF12. If FF13 follows this trajectory, it will be the smallest selling mainline FF title in Japan for years - but it's not all bad news.
FF13 still has an impressive accolade to its name - the first third party console game to sell a million copies in Japan - and if anything, these sales figures illustrate clearly why an Xbox 360 version of the RPG was needed for the West.
While FFVII ranks highly, there's more to the series than one game. Here's Chit Hot's picks for the seven best Final Fantasy characters.
Alex Donaldson: "Hindsight is a hell of a thing, however, and in the years since Final Fantasy XIII, my respect for the decisions its developers made has skyrocketed. In the two Final Fantasy titles since we see both the brilliance and the folly in alternative approaches - and in Final Fantasy VII Remake, we get a more nuanced understanding of what FF13 was trying to accomplish from many of the same development leads."
FFXIII is actually one of the best Final Fantasy games.
I also sort of was disappointed at the time, never as much as the bandwagon. But really all the fantastic 3D rendered cutscenes and I actually liked the characters and the story though convoluted was actually fantastic and the ending was extremely emotional. So much budget and time were put into that game Square had such big plans, I actually have always felt kind of bad for how things played out.
I have been thinking for years how great it would be to get all three games on one disk for PS4 or 5.
i liked the game alot but i didnt like how they handled the terminology.
i dont mind reading data logs but it had soo many.
but i always loved the music and how it looked. the battle system wasnt too bad either.
but i like 13-2 more :)
i still dont understand why we never got a remaster of the trilogy
XIII is a pretty solid game, but XIII-2 is WAY better. XIII-2 was one of the few games I decided to go for a Platinum trophy in, early on. Had so much fun the entire way through getting it too!
I hated this to when it released. I haven't much liked a ff game since ff10 as much , aside from ff7remake. I decided to give it another shot on my series x since it's not on a current ps and was liking it quite a bit(just takes me some time to get over things ) until star ocean 2 remake came out I was all over that.
Square should definitely remaster it or something for ps4 ps5
Square Enix Blog: "How do you compose iconic songs that help define a legacy? We speak to legendary composer Masashi Hamauzu about his work on Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy XIII, and Final Fantasy VII Remake, and how to make unforgettable music."
LOL, its not a shooter
More revenue for square that will help fund other projects is good in the long-run.
Btw - AP When do you get your copy?
Are you on cracks ? i mean come on really you're comparing day one sales to first week sales it can still do like 1.8 million first week ehm... flamebait article anyone ?
Am I wrong?
1. It's weird to compare one day of sale with one week of sale.
2. what was the number of PS2 installed when FFX and FFXII were released ?
I can't see the point of this article.
Last I checked, the game costs USD$93 dollars. F*cking impressive feat for a game that nearly costs 2 times the amount of a normal game. Idiotic article really.
