FFXVI underperforming, mobile and final fantasy's brand weakening leading to massive square stock losses.

Yall want this game to fail so bad. Matter of fact someone actually went into the official thread and said he wanted the game to fail cause it’s not on Xbox.

Cats seeing people say GOTY mentioned everywhere during Twitch streams like EVO, reddit, etc. and feeling the FOMO

Bad news for Star Ocean 7.

Probably good news tbh. SO seems like a franchise SE is willing to keep alive for some reason, maybe it being one of the few AA RPG’s they have will either get it more attention or bump it to AAA

People can't understand nuance.

No FF16 didn't flop. No FF16 wasn't a smash success.

It met expectations.

Take personal feelings out of it,(saw this on resetera n it fits) as a kid at Christmas, you knew your grandparents were gonna get you a sweater n maybe a $25 giftcard to ToysRUs.
You hoped they'd get you a Super Nintendo/Playstation but you expected the above.

And you got that sweater + giftcard and enjoyed it.

But you kept hoping that one day they might surprise you.

The real rub for SE has to be looking at their Cousin Nintendo opening up his gifts.

10 million first three days sold. 18 million after a month.

They used to get the same gifts, now Cousin Nintendo is getting all the expensive gifts and SE is still unwrapping sweaters n giftcards.

Square has talked multiple times now about how the final fantasy series is struggling to find and grow an audience and in turn profitability.

3 million sales ain’t “bad” or a “Flop” but it ain’t enough for their flagship AAA title. Their biggest game is supposed to be big enough to make up for some of the smaller risks that may not pan out.

If your biggest game can’t put the team on its shoulders then you got issues.

Its either going to do just aight, (around 6-7 million first year) or its gonna do playstation studio game numbers which is around 8-10 mill. It’s also being bundled so it has even less chance to fail.

According to @Gizmo_Duck 6-7 mil would be just “alright”

It’s not even gonna get close to that in the first year. But we in here pretending this game is a smashing success and anyone saying otherwise is just hating

No one said it was a smashing success, we said it was successful, you don’t gotta put extra sauce on it.

6-7 by next year or even the pc port would be in line with most of hte popular FF games

It’s not gonna get anywhere near there.

It will eventually, it will do Ghost of Tsushima numbers

Not in the first year

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

Not in the first year

We’ll see when they update the numbers, it’s probably at around 4 mill now

Mighty curious to see how Starfield does without the PS base. Game pass about to bless Bethesda.

Bold of you to assume they'll ever release actual numbers

More likely a tweet by Aaron Greenberg saying they hit all their "internal metrics of success," whatever that means

They've revealed numbers of players for their games like Forza Horizon, Grounded, Halo Infinite, and a few others. However, we won't know numbers of copies sold except for steam stats that somewhat tell you. On console side we can see where it places on most paid list and NPD
