Square Enix status?

Shattered.

you shills realize that square doesn't give two squirts of piss about clair obscur right? they're drowning in money, a monolith compared to this indie studio.

MY PENUS HAS 7 MILLION SALES (on gamepass)

The damage control you people go through to "defend" a 4000 employee company that can't churn out a game to beat a, your words, "indie studio" with 30 people must be exhausting. Why do you think this entire board shits on SE?

We did A because we love B

AHAHAH IT PROVES A IS BETTER THAN B, OWNED

Why are retards like this

We're watching you

If you think that 30 people made the number 33 sell 3.3 million, it was completed on the 33rd. You would definitely need more than 4000 people to do this.

Well done. Almost to FFXVI week one sales. Of course that is with a 20 dollar discount.

Rebirth may have sold worse than 2 million

fuck

like metaphor expedition 33 threads will be about square Enix and sales

I hate it

I've no love for square, fren. just stating facts. like, I haven't even played the game so I have no opinion on it, but don't accuse me of defending square.

it's just, I get the image in my head of a bunch of ants celebrating their retrieval of a crumb that fell off some giant's plate when I see you motherfuckers trying to act smug about this game.

Square status is selling many times more with their non turn based games. LMFAO

souce?

XVI hasn't sold 3m yet. It shipped 3m and we never got an update again.

Oh yeah, I'm sure breaking out the FF7 remake, their most iconic and popular IP by far, and having the latest entry sell less than E33 must feel great for them.

Ff7 came 15 years too late and 3 games released in 10 years plus ps5 exclusivity was never a good idea
At most they can expect slow sales every year when they release the full trilogy

3.3

disappointing sales

FFVII remake, 7 million in sales.

souce?

you shills realize that square doesn't give two squirts of piss about clair obscur right? they're drowning in money, a monolith compared to this indie studio.

They cared when Nintendo released Breath of the Wilds and Tears of the Kingdom.
They cared when Blue Protocol (at the time before it's shutdown and chink resurrection) was threatening to take their player base and they were "closely watching"
They cared when they pushed back the date of a patch because a new game was releasing (forgot which one)

SE most certainly cares when a game coming out may be a threat to their profits

Basically SE sold a ton of copies to retailers, but no one wanted do buy the game
The most recent data on sales is like 3.5 million on march 2025. And it sold 3 million week one? Imagine being dumb enough to believe that.

It sold more than their recent Final Fantasy games, that is just embarrassing.

FFVII remake released on PS4 and didn't limit itself to exclusivity until the bait n switch Yuffie DLC to get more people on the PS5

How many motherfucking threads are we gonna have about ? I counted 4 on the catalog. Jesus christ

Panic is definitely ensuing in Final Fantasy VII's development team, this literally who new IP that openly cashing on old RPG mechanics and themes Square did before has officially surpassed Rebirth both in critical and sales metrics.

The third game in the Final Fantasy VII remake anthology has a lot to prove now.

outsold rebirth in a month

Lol
Lmao

Yeah, for the competition.

Players.

33

This is not the Assassin's Creed Shadows thread.

False, the 3.3 doesn't include gamepass

Notice how it says SALES, not players

Rebirthfags anally shattered.

Not on pc
Still a trilogy

I don't care a lot about turn based but the written in Square Enix games is atrocious.

*censored*

You know what's by far the funniest shit? It's on gamepass..... Like 3.3 MILLION copies sold on a relatively small budget AND it's on the gamepass. That means they got MS-stacks on top of the money they made from sales alone. So instead of tanking their sales, they had greats sales AND COPIES SOLD.
This is by far the biggest one, assassin's creed and oblivion etc, it's always about "players" never copies sold. Because it's on gamepass and everyone who paid the 10 bucks has access to the game. Literally 1 click and a 5minute play and it's being counted as a player playing the game. With Expedition 33 it's 3.3 sold copies. They most likely have 15 million players or smt like that if you do that.

Square enix stock is literally up 50% over the past 6 months (52% YTD)

I highly doubt they give a shit about your forced rivalry on a mongolian finger painting board

Holowhore = Square Enix

Wrestlechad = Sandfall

Fuck the french.
Will never support.

Buck broken

This whole game is a metaphor for video games addiciton btw

Did final fantasy 16 ever pass 3 million copies sold (shipped)? Or did square just stop reporting it's sales figures?

the FF7 remake was supposed to be their “break glass in case of emergency” and it sold less than this game that shadow dropped with a fraction of the budget

trvke

what is happening here?

they should have released the FF7 remake back in 2007 for the 10th anniversary on the ps3. Talking about striking while the iron is ice fucking cold

So who should buy FF when SE declares bankruptcy?

SE most certainly cares when a game coming out may be a threat to their profits

When's the last time squeenix even made a profit? They even managed to ruin FFXIV recently which just a few years ago no one would have thought possible.

Ok, post surnames of the company owners.

PS3 wouldn't be able to handle a FF7 remake in actual 3D. It would've had to have been what fans wanted--more like the old game 'remastered' with higher resolution graphics and models. Rather than what the developers wanted, which was PS5 tier game graphics and a bloated, overlong mess that had to be 3 games instead of 1.

You're all Commies, aren't you.

somehow SE is seething at some shilled game with false hype and sales.

anon, they're too occupied fixing their games so it releases in the only system that actually matters now.

Square Enix status?

Very good, turn troon.

Isn't Switch 2 basically PS4? Why didn't they just do it on PS4?

260 likes in 9 hours, clearly no one cares

I've always wondered what's stopping a company from just lying about this.
It's not like this is the movie industry where these numbers come from third party distributors, you just kinda have to take the devs at face value that what they're saying is true.

yep, and i think i will go out tonight and enjoy real life methinks

Still not playing your faggot game bro

Nostalgia is a powerful thing. I despised both FF13 and FF15 when they first came out but I’m looking back at 13 fondly and I fear im starting to come around on 15. Why are our brains like this

Sold more than Rebirth

Sold more than 16

LMAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
This is too comical. WTF happened bro!

Seeing this disingenuous fag's constant humiliation ritual brings me great comfort

Read between the lines. They announced 3.3 million sales 33 days after release.
They're just playing into the meme. They have obviously sold way way more than that.

yes, gematsu xwitbucks is what actually shows what people cares or want

retard

9h tweet vs 2h

ogey faggot

but I’m looking back at 13 fondly and I fear im starting to come around on 15.

Kill yourself

Why are our brains like this

As a doctor I can confirm your condition can be adequately treated with .40 S&W

despite all their problems, they're actually pretty enjoyable games. The mass hate also can change how we envision something at the time, so that's why we tend to start to appreciate even stuff we disliked in the past.

if freemasons keep making games like this, they might be based after all.

SquareEnix humilliation is finally complete.
Feels good!

Keep it in one thread, holy shit.

game with a small western fanbase vs game with hundreds of paid shills

ok

turnfags celebrating over a milestone that Final Fantasy games achieve in a single day on a single platform

How sad.

Amusing, but very sad.

anally gaped

Is she okay?

competition?

Sold less than E33

He somehow thinks this is a win.

KEK.

what competition?

Both these games had things they did fairly well. As time passes, it gets easier to forget the flaws of the entire package, and to rememberspecifics that let you have a decent time with the game.

Kiwawa getting humped.

we've shipped and digitally sold 3M copies

why not say

we've physically and digitally sold 3M copies

??
"shipped" means nothing

it's another roleplaying game to choose from and considering its success people might gravitate towards it over Final Fantasy

1996-2024

snoys would scream non stop for Sony to buy SE.

2025

snoys want SE to die and want Sony to buy Sandfall

Because nobody tracks sell through.

33 days is the same time period as 1 day

I always knew that turnfags were mentally retarded cultists, but holy shit.

Therefore, I did not make a pact with any demons.

what are you, a fuckin atheist?

But it counts for E33?

Cultist.

implying westerns and casuals graphic whores actually cares about final fantasy or any other real jrpg

kek

Are turn-based cultists even self aware?

I mean, you can even like SE games and E33 as well. This is not some kind of competition.

new IP doing better than over saturated stand alone

people are burned out of waiting for the big boys to deliver.

Outsold by RDR2 just this year alone. So much for AA $50 games outdoing AAA.

This was back when Square Enix tricked retards into buying 1/5 of a remake-sequel. It didn't work so good for Rebirth

RESETERA WE HAVE TO SAVE FINAL FANTASY NOOOOOOOOOO

I did but then I played this and it was far better than Square's last 15 years of releases

Why are you people always trying to start shit for no reason? Both FF7 Rebirth and Expedition 33 are good.

>snoys want SE to die and want Sony to buy Sandfall

broche has stated he's against expanding the studio "to make line go up" & things work well with the current team size. i hope this principle also applies to getting bought out of competition by a large corpo. i believe they will stay independent.

Because Rebirth spent a fucking year shitting on literally every game that came out.

yoshitpiss should just retire

I dont see anyone shitting on other games, just claiming "rebirth is goty"

meanwhile, exp33tards and metafloppers unrelentlessly try to undermine other games and rebirth.

The third game in the Final Fantasy VII remake anthology has a lot to prove now.

That shit is going to be on the Switch 2 and PC day one. They can't afford to let the 3rd part of the trilogy die on Sony platforms like the first two games did.

The retailers don't report back to game companies regarding the sales of their games.
The only kind of tracking you get is when they ask for more so you ship it to them.
Not that any of this even matters cause the number of retailers selling new games is probably infinitesimal compared to their digital sales.

screenshot includes boogeyman nameposting

Definitely not the work of some weird schizo eh?

Yeah, good luck getting people to buy the final part of a trilogy without getting the other two.
Sequels always go on a downwards trend.

you must not have played many SE games these years.

It took them a month to sell what FF16 sold in a week. Why are people pretending this is a burn to Square Enix?

Imagine claiming this after SE haters shit up every single Final Fantasy Rebirth thread with their vitriol.

They've already announced Remake for Switch 2 and that Rebirth is coming later. Are you fucking stupid?

the best thing they could do in that regard is to offer heavy discounts on the first 2 if you buy the third

Because Square Enix is a spent force.All they can do is mine stuff from 30 years ago (final fantasy 8 remake would take 15 years to create lmao) and produce games about nigger women.
All of the Old Guard are dying and that's a good thing.

Their latest mainline backfired bigly after they spent years marketing their 100% action DMC clone.

First they'd have to accept that the audience for SE games isn't on the PS5 and that's a non-starter for them; especially after you tell them that audience largely moved to Nintendo. At that point, they'd prefer SE to die.

Hating SquareEnix is normal

Wasn't Atlus doing fine when he said this?

but it's okay when E33 shills are shitting on literally every game that released in the past 40 years by claiming the same things you're seething?

sales

What is this outdated metric? Everyone knows only the number of people who watched the steam page for 15 seconds matter

XVI and Rebirth have both flopped.

Yeah, they bled so much talent in the 90's and 2000's and a lot of the talent that they have left is doing meaningless shit for some reason.

Why would Square care ?

They literally don't, which is why Dragon Quest XII and Final Fantasy XVII won't be turn-based either.

FFXVII status?

bitter ex-wow fanboys who are now bitter ex-ff14 fanboys really want this to be their generations GW2 vs SWTOR for some reason

Do you know where that talent went? These are the studios to watch.
