Director Naoki Hamaguchi says the game has shown "strong performance" on Switch 2 and that sales are "satisfying on a worldwide level"

https://www.gonintendo.com/contents/58160-square-enix-says-final-fantasy-vii-remake-intergrade-has-had-a-strong-sales

"Sales figures came through strongly, and the fans are happy, so it feels like this multiplatform approach itself has led to positive results"

" FFVII is a title with a strong presence not only in Japan but globally, and as a result, we’ve been able to achieve sales that are satisfying on a worldwide level."


For some reason my brain is reading this as shade to Japan lol

It's not really shade to Japan. It's shade to Square Enix when you think about it. The most popular platform for gaming in Japan has been Nintendo for quite some time. Square-Enix did little to foster a following for Final Fantasy on those platforms. So you have a generation of gamers in Japan that don't view Final Fantasy the same way as their forebearers.

On the flip side, Square Enix made sure to put as many mainline DQ games on Nintendo platforms as possible. They designed DQX with the WII as the lead platform. For DQXI, they literally rebuilt the game from scratch with a newer build of UE4 to get the game on Switch. That in addition to having a seperate, also purpose built, version of the game for 3DS. So it's popularity in Japan has remained far stronger.
