I want you stop for a second and think about how long Final Fantasy has been around (NES) then think about how many other franchises from that time still exist. Then maybe try this comment again.
Comment on Square Enix share price drops amid claims Final Fantasy 16 didn’t meet ‘high end’ expectations

For a title named Final Fantasy, it sure isn’t reaching it’s end considering it got 16 iterations and then also remasters. Maybe they should let it go. You cannot milk a cow eternally.

Have you heard of a little company called Disney?

It did sell well however, selling over 3.5 million copies in the first 10 days. I don’t know how high Squeenix’s expectations were but it’s wild they thought it would sell higher for a game that only released on the PS5.

This times 100. I’m a massive FF fan. While there is debate in my mind about the combat system, I can’t even play it because I don’t have a PS5.
Hoping to get one eventually but the PS4 and Switch still have value. If SE want my money, they’ll have to wait.

I can’t justify buying a PS5 for 1 or 2 games. Still waiting for a release on PC as well. But as soon as it releases elsewhere, I will buy it :).

Best selling game in Japan, 3.5+M units sold. What the hell did they expect?
simple@lemm.ee 10 months ago
Apparently they expected selling more than FFXV
