Final Fantasy VII Remake US Launch Sales are Highest in Series History

A true masterpiece, deserves all the praise and success it gets.

just think how much more it will make when it releases on whatever other system it will release on next year

and well deserved it is too, the game is brilliant and i can't wait for part 2

Well done Square. Thoroughly deserved. I dont think its too much to say this might have salvaged the final fantasy brand. It certainly reignited my love for the series.

News on part 2 please

Well done! I need to find the time to play this because I although I got the platinum for Persona 5 Royal, I still have to get through Dragon Quest XIS, and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is on the way.

What to play first...

Now that what I call meteoric success.😏

I'll show myself out

Not a surprise given the huge marketing push it got but impressive none the less. Congrats to SquareEnix, this was an important release for the company and the fans, new and old. Just got around to starting the game and after the first few chapters it's so far, so good. My only experience with the FF VII universe was Crisis Core but I loved the characters and it's good to be reunited with them.

What else came out this year for PS4?

Great news. Means the next part is gonna get maximum support from Square Enix.

That's impressive considering ff 15 sells on multi-platform while ff7 remake is ps4 exclusive, maybe ff 16 will be playstation (timed) exclusive again.

@Neolit and during pandemic

Deserving of all the accolades! Haven't enjoyed a Final Fantasy this much since FFVIIII. Job well done!

@Neolit
True. As more platforms get added it'll be interesting to see the final sales numbers for the entire saga, however many episodes it ends up being.

Barret, Jessie and Aerith were the true stars of this game.

Do we have hard numbers yet?

Do we have hard numbers yet?

Just completed the game and I was impressed. FF15 left a bad taste in my mouth as the story was very poor and the combat was meh. This was a huge step in the right direction. Now all they need to do is take a lesson from Witcher 3 for side quests in part 2 and it will be perfection

Wow, good for them.

@FullbringIchigo Apparently game sales are up in general. It seems more people are likely to watch streaming services content and play games to keep them occupied while being isolated.

Great news. Final Fantasy needed this. Last game i thoroughly enjoyed in the series was waaaay back with Final Fantasy 10.

Bring on Part 2

Great game, first game I could even be bothered to plat. For anyone interested, FF XIV online is currently free on PSN. Comes with a free months sub too.

I was playing the crap outta this game until i bought blasphemous and i am so addicted to it, has anyone else tried that game out yet? If not its great, but i really need to get back to FF7R its a really great game. Im so glad its doing well so part 2 will get alot of resources put into it. Im so curious to see how they are going to do the second part, will it open up like the original did somewhat? Whatever they do its a day 1 purchase for me.
