Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles Has Surpassed One Million Sales Worldwide

So glad I finally got a current gen version of this game. Played like a dream on Switch 2 and it was like playing on PS1 again.

Kinda low sales to be honest for what was considered one of the best RPGs of the generation known for being the second best generation of RPGs...

Amazing sales! They said if this does well they would bring us the GBA games or a sequel so I would bet we have more to come now!

Can we get FF TACTICS ADVANCE + A2 Remastered in the future?

@Misima Its a remake of a tactical RPG. Its a pretty niche genre, certainly by modern gaming trends of open world games and roguelikes.

Nicely done, hope to pick it up in the Spring or so when my backlog isn't as stacked. I dove headfirst into the Tactics Ogre remake when it released so expect the same here

@Misima A million is low for a game belonging to a niche genre... with 30 year old graphics... on its third release?

Well deserved! I just beat it for the 1st time and it was great!

Good.

As the producer said, now it is time to do something with Final Fantasy Tactics Advance and A2. Both better games than this one.

This was such a well-done remaster. The quality-of-life enhancements and the tastefully-redone visuals really add to the experience, and then you have the option of playing the original version (more or less), too. I actually think the way they redid the original pixels in the enhanced version with a kind of paint-on-canvas layer is maybe even more visually appealing to me than HD-2D, and definitely better than the smoothed-over sprites in the Tactics Ogre remaster.

Good now we need a Vagrant Story Remastered.

Would love to know what percentage of sales went to each console it was released for

@ImpromptuR now THAT'S something I've never heard before lol

Well done! Now I have to decide, whether I should play this before or after Dragon Quest VII Reimagined.

@Juma009 not sure of the platform breakdown but the director did say he expected it take about three years for the game to sell between 800,000 - 1m copies!

1 million sales is not good enough by Square Enix standards.

@topher6490 Yes it is. Because it's one of the best games in it's genre and tons of people should be playing it for the first time. This game is wayyyyyyyyyyyyy better than Mario Kart World and won't get in spitting distance.

I don't disagree with what you are saying about it being not as appealing to everyone, but it's still an amazing game. Out of every game released from that point onwards, this is one of the few games of the late 90s that everyone should really play.

@Kiz3000 This is the game to open the door for people.

@Olliemar28 But old numbers do not compare to new numbers because there's about 100x the gamers than existed back then, and now we have the hindsight of knowing this is the strategy game that will stand the test of time. I consider this the a top five best game released for the PSX.

@Porky For Final Fantasy Tactics it is more than enough. It's not like they threw a ton of money at a remaster of a niche game from 1997.

@Porky

That depends on the game, from what I've observed. Or perhaps more accurately, on the studio and lead developer. For instance, if its a AAA FF or KH title from BD1, no matter how many copies it sells its "meeting expectations". OTOH, a Tomb Raider game by Eidos could sell 5M+ at launch, over 14M lifetime, and become the best selling game in the franchise by a long margin. . . and still somehow "fail to meet expectations".
