As many beloved fans are aware from the beginning of the month, Square Enix shipped the long-awaited and highly-anticipated remake for Final Fantasy VII. Although the game only shipped on PlayStation for the time being, it is expected that the nostalgia grab issued for modern hardware would surely convince PlayStation owners to pick up the game, especially during the ongoing circumstances from the new virus to take our minds off of reality.
Now in a new announcement made today, Square Enix announced on the game’s official Twitter account that Final Fantasy VII Remake has sole more than 3.5 million units within the first three days.
Essentially, the firm sold one million and some change every 24 for the first three days that the game was available. Although the multitude achieved for the release did not break major pre-existing records in the industry, it surely is an impressive feat for an installment that released back in 1997 on the original PlayStation. It will only be more exciting to see the potential on other systems.
For the first year of the game’s release, the Final Fantasy VII Remake will be a unique property to PlayStation 4. However, following the release date in one full year in 2021, users on other systems can expect the title to arrive on their respected storefront. What platforms exactly has yet to be determined, but there is one hunch that the game will be coming to PC.
Evidently, Square Enix at launch for the remake shared a “Thank You” trailer for the game to fans who have been patient with the title’s release by showcasing rendered footage for the PC version of the game. Although there is other speculation for a possible Xbox version as well, there is not tangible evidence of the port alike for keyboard & mouse players. There is however, discussion from the publisher’s CEO Yosuke Matsuda who sheds light on the possibility of the game being cross-gen as well, but has yet to be followed up on.
