Not meant to really rain on the parade, but that was moreso FFVII Remake thing. The hype, advertising and the pandemic at the time were more susceptible to create a more successful launch. It did great but the sequel can truly only reign in people who are in the know of the first game so I have massive doubts about its launch to be the most successful offline Final Fantasy.
Game had total sales to about 7M sold last year in September and it's launch weekend was about 3.5M sold.
Meantime FFXVI had a launch of 3M but dropped significantly faster than usual entries and we haven't got any numbers since.
Therefore, recent games in the series have basically been in difficulties to reach the highs people expect them to.
I really don't see how this could be different for Rebirth.
Despite what I'm saying here, there's a probability of it not being impossible to see this game get a successful similar launch to previous FF games. It's just difficult statistically wise when looking at the numbers.
Anywoo, I hope y'all enjoy the show. I'll prolly be interested to play it in the future but I wouldn't stand the whole spoilery aspects of this presentation.
