Final Fantasy XV has shipped 8.9M worldwide

- Start date
OK, pal
I remember seeing something like that being announced
I think it's deserved it's a great game
Yeah, the 9.6m that FFVIII sold certainly encouraged them to make more games with the draw system!
Well deserved. The story is a mess but I still very much enjoyed my 90+ hours with Final Fantasy XV. LOVED the battle system, and Yoko Shimomura's soundtrack was, as always, just divine.
Ffxv ultimate dark prince ps5/Xbox edition Will do the trick lol. Not like the other ff's got that high without a bunch of rereleases
Oh no not 81 how will they ever recover from such devastatingly terrible reviews?!?
Get over yourself.
That doesn't look like a lot when you compare it to XIII, which didn't get any DLC, nor a movie, nor a re-release.
I guess any numbered FF is able to pull off those numbers with the right amount of marketing, huh.
Did you know there's a middle ground between amazing and terrible? Crazy, I know.

I honestly think SE is more receptive to criticism than most think. XIII-2 addressed a ton of complaints even though XIII sold great and
had crazy awesome mega reviews (83), XV was patching in story and trying to improve other aspects, KH3 is launching a DLC that is a laundry list of some of the biggest complaints, etc. They're surprisingly on the pulse, even if their solutions aren't always the best. Like I mentioned earlier, their messaging about the upcoming Luminous Productions game is very clearly trying to say it won't be delivered in a similar state to XV.
Considering the absolute barrage of advertising, crossovers, product placement, and sheer volume of expanded materials, I guess it's not surprising.
I hated the game and couldn't bring myself to get all the way through it a second time even after they let you be a black person, but from my understanding, it was pretty well-received regardless.
More like, if there was any other JRPG series that was AAA (apart from KH I guess), it would have done much worse than it did. It had no competition.
I guarantee you VIIR will at least double those numbers when all is said and done.
I mean if they release it in seven parts across two or three console generations...maybe it could do 18 million...
I obviously mean Part I alone. Unless they massively screw it up and it turns out to be a 15 hour game or something like that.
The next entry in the series has become one of the most anticipated and mythologized titles of the generation. That's going to have more of an impact on FFXVI than XV.
I wish I liked this game.
But honestly I can't stand anything about it.
The setting, the fragmented story, the characters, it does nothing for me.

I mean, that's not saying a lot given how big Final Fantasy 7 in particular is.
Emphasis on "since" they started getting aggregate reviews, which has been less than half of them, so that's not a good point at all.
Besides, that, the definitive Edition of XV not isn't the lowest, even if it were that'd be like downplaying an A- by saying it's the worst grade on an otherwise all A report card. The point is moot. And that's all while disregarding the fact that it's one of the top four best selling games in the series. The only "ok" you need to give is to yourself if three years later you're still in denial in the critical and commercial success of this game.
No, that would be a remake of only part of a game doing 150% of what the original did. That statement is bananas.
Well deserved sales. It'll hit 10 million once those rereleases start either next gen or 2 gens from now. You haters will look back fondly on it after FFXVI comes out and once again "kills the franchise"
That means it's the 4th highest selling in the Franchise right? Great news. Now announce FFXVI you bastards!(j/k don't announce till you're ready and can ship it in 1 year after reveal).
Why tho? I think it'll sell better if it was a better game.
So second biggest
FF has been growing over the last decade
FFVII remake is a shoe in for >10 mill
FFXVI should do 9 mill

Only good thing about the whole game is Noctis and Aranea. Era has gotta stop saying buy the DLC and Comrades. They both are horrible
Like someone posted earlier, game had so much potential. I still enjoyed it but it was rough in some story areas.
I look forward to ff16 on ps4 and hope they have a good director to keep it focused from beginning to end.

Just bought episode Ardyn for $5.....been waiting to play it and I keep hearing its an absolutely amazing piece of DLC
There is no way FFVIIR Part 1 would sell 18 millions. That's like Pokemon and/or Call Of Duty number.
Yeah even Pokemon has trouble reaching those heights. Technically hasn't reached it since Gold/Silver ages ago. No chance VII reaches even close.
its going to be the 3rd best selling game of the franchise, you can spin it however you want.
Good for Square but not for me... Because this sends the message XV is on the right track which is unfortunate to me since that's not the direction I want the series to follow. Hopefully, VIIRE sells more than XV because that seems the right track to follow.
It wasn't bad but it also wasn't what i wanted from a final fantasy game. I did enjoy it and had fun but it is flawed and isn't something I'd go back to again
SE intentionally gives FF to different development teams to make every game different, regardless of how successful the previous game was.
How anybody can sit here and be mad this sold well because it'll "send the wrong message" like they gonna make a 15 all over again after playing ff for this long is wild
8 was nothing like 7, 9 went and wen medievil and the main protag a damn cat tail, 10 was completely different, 11 was an mmo,12 felt like a mix between an mmo and 10, 13 was a entire different ball game, 14 an mmo and Ffxv action like....all of these sold well and none of them are really the same. It's fear mongering at this point

I am actually replaying FFXV right now, first time since launch. It's a really great game warts and all. Happy to hear it sold well.
