Although Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, according to Square Enix itself in one of its financial reports, failed to meet expectations, the game's sales cannot be considered a failure. Series producer Yoshinori Kitase stated this in an interview with the Brazilian branch of IGN.
“As for sales expectations, Sony held the PlayStation Partner Awards in Japan, and there was a category (Grand Award) that rewarded the three best-selling games: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth was one of them, alongside Black Myth: Wukong and Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. So, I think such recognition indicates that we have achieved a certain level.”
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is already available on PS5. The PC version is scheduled for release on January 23.
