"'Clair Obscur: Expedition 33' utterly destroys Square Enix's gaslighting over Final Fantasy turn-based combat"-Windows Central

The premiere franchises in gaming today usually crack that 10 million number on the low end and long term do better than that. That's where I got that number. Being real thought it's doubtful the game has even moved much more than a quarter of the low end. I absolutely believe that Final Fantasy should be in contention with God of War, Resident Evil. It should do way better than say Persona. It's more like what Halo is today than competing with any of those.

Crazy thing is Halo sells way better than FF and reaches way more people, but somehow that’s a flop, in decline, or dead depending on which one of you is talking about it.

Starfield sold 3 mill BEFORE its official release date and that’s a “flop” too.

FF16 at 3 mill is a smashing success tho

FF sells more than Persona actually, it's just the lack of numbers making it appear that way. Persona 5 including royal as of 2023 sold over 7 million copies which took about 7 years with the latter years it releasing on Switch, PC and Xbox.

FFVII remake on PS4/PS5 in 3 years sold over 7 million.

I wish FF was even bigger than it is, it's a very well known IP but outside of the XIV, FF games are games that sell over time. They're not as big as say Mario or Pokemon.
