23k in Japan so world wide that's less than 100k? Roughly 1/4 of Switch 2 sales are from Japan

Physical only, though still I’m not sure the sales figures can simply be multiplied by four to accurately estimate WW figures. Accounting for digital, a debut of 200k WW would be pretty darn solid for 6yo port of a game frequently listed at $10-20USD.

Also key to note that the "physical" release is a key card, which likely leads to a higher digital share as its essentially just a glorified download code anyway so many people will just cut out the middle man and download it.

The FF brand has also waned massively in Japan so despite it being a JRPG its home country is likely no longer its biggest market.
