My gosh man great sales but if there was ever a game that deserved at least triple the sales to show companies you can make a great game without a need for billions to spent making it then this is definitely one of them
It potentially might have if it wasn't on GP. We truely do not know how that affected sales as I presume they are unlikely to ever release "players" numbers.
i'm the same, i did not buy it cause of the gamepass deal. Perhaps in the future, with a big discount.
Hope square enix and final fantasy team takes notice that you can do turn base and it will sell well if done well.

Their quality is terrible compared to expedition 33 especially after FFX.
Superb game, well deserved. One day, I'll get over my narrative issues with it and replay it.
Thought it would have been more with all the hype. But Game Pass explains the number somewhat.
