Once again depends if it gets a dedicated PS5 version. In this case that seems pretty likely since they're going to port the game to other systems next year anyways, among which will probably be a Series X port. With that in mind I still think it'll hit at least 7 mil on PS4.

Bonus: 2025. Maybe late 2024 at the absolute earliest.

10 mil or more,
its a must buy but making it by parts did hurt it a bit so 10 mil sure does look like a pipe dream hahaha!



I’d say about 7M, picked the 7-7.4M option. After a high launch it seems it’s legs are less than stellar and the game appears to be frontloaded.

As for the bonus question, I don’t know how many parts there are, but I guess 2025 at the earliest.



I think its possible for it to reach something just under 7.5 mil maybe 8 mil on PS4. I think there will no doubt be a game of the year rerelease for all platforms and that should push it into the magic 10 mil bracket. The game is recieveing very good word of mouth and good reports so I think with the prices cuts and various promotions its possible to get 7 - 8 mil on PS4 alone.

I think it can cross 8M with time. All platforms perhaps 15M and all remakes series about 30M.
Bonus: I think it will be a trilogy and last title will be released about 2026.

Azzanation: "PS5 wouldn't sold out at launch without scalpers."

7.5-8m seems reasonable enough for the positive reception its got.

Bonus: 2026 assuming its 3 parts only.



I think this game is PS and PC only, so:

10M (PS4)

7M (PS5) + another 3M when Part 2 arrives

5M (PC)

2022:R Part 2
2025: R Part 3
2027: "Final Fantasy VII remake: Ultimania Collection" (Featuring in-game disk swapping through the parts of the game) Although I really hope they can make the in-game disk swapping without the need of releasing a new version.

2030: Final Fantasy VII-2 featuring altered story from Advent Children + dirge of Cerberus

2032: Final Fantasy Episode 0: Crisis Core Remake

2036: FINAL FANTASY VII ULTIMANIA MATERIA COLLECTION: Play through all the games as one huge adventure

Do Final Fantasy games traditionally have bad legs?

Otherwise, I see no reason why FF7R doesn't clear 10 Million+ lifetime on PS4.



9.0-9.4 million.

BQ: 2027 as a crossgen title for PS5/PS6.
