Forums - Gaming Discussion - FFXV ships 5 million worldwide

Expected. Now we only need the ratio. Which will also be as expected.

There's obviously a huge turn-based games fanbase. I wonder how long will take SE to notice that. I think a turn based FF would do fairly well... FFXV combat system is just a huge mess.

I completely disagree. Have you playee the final code? Do you understand how the combat system works?

Anyways, to each their own, and if you had just said IMO I wouldn't have bothered to reply you. But staying it as a fact is flat out misleading. 

FFXIV combat has a flow and dance to it, something you would only truly grasp if you have played it. It has an annoying g camera sometimes in closed places, but that's a camera issue, not a combat system issue. 

I've played it, yep, about 20 hours into the game now. I'm giving it a chance because I enjoy character relationship, which drives the entire game. And, well, yeah, it's my opinion obviously, sorry about that. My main problem is that it's just not fluent enough to be a good hack n' slash, too chaotic to be a good ARPG, and the camera is a huge mess. About the battle system... just press one button for auto-attack, press another to defend yourself, teleport if you're in trouble. Repeat. Find weaknesses is easy as hell, because you don't really have an outstanding variety in weapons and magic (magic is shamefully barebones). So I find myself bored to death with that combat system. And I'm 20 hours into the game, so I don't really have any expectations about it to improve in a meaningful way. Hell, I think FFXII or FFXIII had better combat system, and they were far from stellar imo. I'd probably say it's the worst BS of any FF game ever.



And considering the digital sales it must have passed Pokemon 12M.

I bought physical copy and then digital as well. Im having an awesome time playing this game.



What a bullshit article btw.
The only thing that is 'certain' sales wise is that it sold the most as a digital download in Japan and that the first physical shipments lie below the number of 5 million...?.
Best selling digital first day? All platforms? Only triple-A? Best selling with an alliteration as title?



My friend activity on PSN has been overwhelmingly FF15, haven't seen anything like that since Destiny first dropped. I expect the actual sales numbers to be impressive.

this is most likely shipped. i wonder what the sell through number is.

Doesnt mean anything, in todays digital age shipment is pretty much sold for games.



please closed this thread because of misinformation
i already created new thread of shipment discussion
