I am untethered and my rage knows no bounds!
Still no ps5 pro patch...
Don't need a patch everyone said they were fine with the blurry 60 fps mode.
I was right about this game. This was a Final Fantasy that abandoned the core identity of the series to chase sales and regardless of what the people that loved it say it's pretty clear it did not hit they targets they had for it.
There are sales numbers out there that suggest the Pixel Remaster outsold this game. Maybe next time don't try and turn things into a character action game without much in the way of a party. Maybe next time go back to a turned based game with actual strategy.
There are plenty of turned based RPGs out there doing fine. It's time to return to what they fans came up with and stop chasing the CoD type audience. Final Fantasy is never going to be what it once was again but it can still be great.

The game is approaching it's 2 year anniversary. Square Enix has been radio silent on sales since the initial first week numbers other than some rumblings that their releases didn't meet targets.
I remember Xbox went silent on Game Pass numbers for years and stopped updating shareholders on the subscriber numbers. It was for a reason and the reason wasn't flattering.

You can say the same about god of war ragnarok or spider-man 2 also. The fact is you don’t know and you’re just assuming just like that fakkit was

None of those are after two years. sony could easily update those numbers now and they still choose not to. Spider-Man 2 hasn’t left the sales charts since release. They still haven’t given a sales update for GT7 and its gone on to sell over 14 million copies already.

Same with Bloodborne, if the insomniac release never happened most people would continue believing it only sold a couple million copies.
most companies just do not update their software sales quarterly or even annually. Even successful games dont get a lot of milestone updates. SE just gave their first chrono trigger sales update in like 28 years.
Chrono Trigger has sold over 5 million units worldwide
Square Enix has confirmed today that the classic JRPG Chrono Trigger, which first released in 1995 on the Super Nintendo system, has shifted over five million copies worldwide. The news comes as part…

Man come on. You going into your Meech bag now. You know damn well inside of the first 2 years game companies give updates on sales of AAA games that are cornerstones to their business Within a year Final Fantasy XV got a sales update. I believe it is highly likely that XVI hasn't even outsold what XV did in it's first day in the almost 2 years it's been out. How do you package a number like that to shareholders? You don't. You just move on and talk about the future.None of those are after two years. sony could easily update those numbers now and they still choose not to.

You’re just guessing. At this point it’s a case of just not wanting to be wrong or hoping you’re right because you want them to make turn based games again. Theres a corner of the internet that continues to be mad weird about final fantasy lol
you were foolish to even think that the game sold 500k copies in two years (even with the PC release that probably sold that much on its own) or got outsold by the pixel remasters lol
What proof do you have that it sold more?
In any other context yall love rolling with cac tweets estimates
