Might be a good idea to wait for the official worldwide figures from Square Enix themselves, or at least the January Circana (NPD) numbers to get a better picture.
Yes, on surface these aren’t exactly stellar numbers in Japan.
But the thing to remember is that these are just physical numbers, no digital included, and that for the past 20 years, give or take, Final Fantasy has been a bigger name internationally than in Japan.
The fact remains that it’s still selling out at most retailers and is still #2 on the US eShop behind Dragon Quest (Another Square Enix title).
