Publisher Square Enix has announced that its beloved JRPG anthology series has passed a majo🍸r milestone as more than 200 million Final Fantasies have been sold over the last 37 years.

"The Final Fantasy series has now sold over 200 million copies across the globe," the publisher announced today, "Wherever you joined us on our adventures, thank you." Those sales account for a whopping 16 mainline games (22 if you include numbered sequels and the recent FF7 remake✤s), alongside countless mobile spin-offs, strategy pivots, orchestral rhythm tappers, fighting game experiments, and much more.

Squeenix's recent Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster "series" has also moved more than five million copies after receiving staggered multiplatform ports across PC, mobile, PS4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox. The Pixel Remaster bundle includes the series' first six classic outings with a much shinier coat of pixels slapped on top, though each game is also available🍷 to buy individually, so I'd be curious to see how those sales were split. I'd guess some (FF4 and FF6) probably fared better than others (sorry, FF2).

To coincide with the ma🍷jor milestone, the Pixel Remasters got a addressing minor bugs across all platforms. Final Fantasy 3 no💖w also has a handy accessibility feature allowing you to adjust the "rate that character job level increases" if you'd like to cut down on the grinding.

Pixel Remaster's success is so nice to see because turn-based, non-Pokemon JRPGs were almost an endangered subgenre two console generations ago. Now, the collection is seemingly a bigger hit than the spectacle-stuffed Final Fantasy 16, which has only managed to sell 3.5 million copies. Maybe that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:multiplatform strategy is finally bearing fruit.

Either way, Final Fan𓂃tasy's updated numbers puts it in very exclusi♏ve company, as only the likes of Mario, Pokemon, FIFA, Call of Duty, and a few others can boast of such success.

For now, why not reminisce with the very 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Final Fantasy games of all time?
