The unique 1997 Closing Fantasy VII has formally bought over 15 million copies
The Closing Fantasy franchise is definitely an icon within the gaming house, with 1997’s Closing Fantasy VII particularly being considered as one of the vital titles of all time. Regardless of the reverence for this traditional, within the almost 30 years since its launch, the OG Closing Fantasy VII has ‘solely’ bought 15 million items.
As a part of a latest press launch detailing the upcoming arrival of Closing Fantasy XVI and FFVII Remake to Xbox, Sq. Enix supplied a shock replace on the unique Closing Fantasy VII from 1997, writing:
“Since [1997], the sport revolving round iconic hero, Cloud Strife and his pursuit of the antagonist Sephiroth has bought over 15.1 million copies worldwide and continues to obtain widespread acclaim from critics and followers all over the world.”
Whereas 15 million copies is nothing to smell at, the truth that one of the iconic video video games of all time has been outsold by numerous indie titles in mere months is indicative of simply how a lot the video games business has grown over the previous few a long time.
It is going to be fascinating to see whether or not the FFVII Remake manages to achieve 15 million in due time.
