This shown that when you make a high quality turn based jrpg like game with proper mature story , game will sell well. Take notes ff team. This sold more ff rebirth and ff16 and probably ff7 integrade and other turn base non ff games

This sold more than FF16 and Rebirth combined as those games don't have legs.

That too. Was being nice to ff16 and rebirth

It will probably manage to outsell FF7 part 2, FF7 part 3 and FF16 combined. As I don't expect FF7 part 3 to do any better than part 2. And 10.5 million seems doable for expedition 33.

I once doubted it would sell more than 8M copies.

I was so wrong lol

Deserves much more considering how this is for many people such a special game but I guess it's still niche for what it is so with that in mind those sales are big.

We don't know how many played on GP, do we? Available for 30 million subscribers who might have played it, enjoyed it but haven't purchased it because it's still available there. One thing they've never announced is "players".

The amount of talk and hype it's gotten, I'd expect more.

I guess Gamepass didn't kill this one..

I suppose if it were only on Xbox it would have killed it, but since it's on other places like PC or Sony, then people have to buy it. So to say that Game Pass didn't kill it is an assertion without the full context

Nah.. the people who keep bad mouthing Gamepass never make that distinction either. Heck, they act as if developers are forced to put their games there.
