Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth is a sales success, although this does not satisfy Square Enix

Whenever a Final Fantasy title is released, there are many expectations placed on it. Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth on PS5 has generated divided opinions among analysts and players. Although Square Enix is confident and happy with the commercial performance of the title, the company has admitted that overall expectations were not met, despite a positive sales pace. In fact, the game became the best-selling in the United States during the week ending January 25, both in its physical and digital versions, suggesting that, although the desired goals were not reached, interest in the franchise remains high.

According to analyst Mat Piscatella, the RPG managed to exceed initial expectations on Steam, a platform that had generated doubts about its success from Square Enix. During its release, Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth reached a total of 40,564 players on its launch day, a figure boosted by a 30% discount that is still available. This contrasts with the PS5 release, where the company acknowledged that the game did not meet the established expectations.

This positive performance on Steam could influence future strategic decisions by Square Enix, who have begun to consider simultaneous releases on consoles and PC. This shift in focus reflects a clear intention to adapt to a constantly evolving market. Additionally, Square Enix has confirmed that the third part of the remake is already in development, suggesting that the process to complete the trilogy is accelerating.

On the other hand, the company has started to change its exclusivity policy by bringing titles like Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Collection to platforms like Xbox. This move indicates a desire to diversify its releases and make its iconic franchises more accessible to a wider audience.
