Fuuuuuuuuck. Its wild how much lower the sales were. Damn man, those were amazing games. I found SF2 in a bargin bin box at a pawn shop. I dont know why I always let that make me believe it must have sold a LOT in order to have enough copies for one to end up there. Guess not.

Is FF7 still the lifetime sales king of the series? I remember its re-release on PSN was huge and it always topped the PS Classic charts. Steamspy says its got over a million sales from that re-release alone! Any data on its original PC release?
Which now that I think about it is an early example of digital not lasting forever~ all the more reason for me to avoid it an keep on with my physical game only run!
I never bought the Genesis Shining games cause I always played 'em on the Sega Channel! >.>;

Only way Tactics could be big is to go the FE route.
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
If FFXV was a diamond in a rough, then i'd say LR:FFXIII was an ugly diamond in loads of trash. The game is ugly and may look unappealing due to the convoluted system but once you get a hang of it, the gameplay is fine and the world is pretty big (despite looking like a PS2 open world).
Yeah, that is why I am hopeful for that rumored FF13 trilogy remaster. Imagine LR being remastered in HD quality.....No more horrendous textures!

This world doesn't deserve a lightning trilogy remaster

It looks pretty bad on PC. The textures are gonna look like shit in any resolution, because they're shitty textures.
I respectfully disagree.

I remember Kagari saying FFXIII actually had nice legs in America NPD in the XV NPD sales thread. I'm assuming it probably got to over 2 Million LTD?
Also I swear XV was closer to 1.8 Million incl digital?
Also yay at no drop between XIII to XV. I know many fans XIII brought to the series who then got XV so this makes sense
All this shows is that FF spin offs and sequels are less desirable.
And LR had 0 marketing (1/100th of XIII's) plus looked awful in trailers. XIII looked amazing in trailers. I know we love our XIII was hated by everyone narrative here but puh-lease.
And FFVIII has TONS of fans...another false narrative.
Steam FFXIII sales prove you wrong

FF7 was the first FF game for most.
FF8 used to be one of my favs, at the time I rated it higher than the others and for a few years after. It's been so long since there's been a good FF game I just look on the titles up to FF10 with similar fondness now. Maybe that's the case with other FF8 fans.

Crisis Core sales just show how powerful the FFVII sub brand is
Remake is gonna sell so much.

Ah let me rephrase that: LR remaster with better HD textures and sharper resolution.
You guys worrying about FF Tactics forget that the one month and mostly done sales pattern for videogames is a modern phenomenon.
"Is COD finally dying?" opening month sales for Infinite War were higher than those of Halo 2, which was the record setter back in 2004. And Halo 2's opening was way higher than anything from the PS1 era.
Final Fantasy Tactics ended up selling 2.3M units worldwide, with over 900k of those units in the west. Given that the game never came out in Europe, those are basically US sales.
The game was a hit.

And again it was FFT's FW, the next month it did 105k, and 70k the next (And then 29k) When all was said and done it sold 900k US alone.
Maybe I should post the first couple of months for each game...
