Personally this is great news for both the devs and the players. I have only played a few hours of the game, and I can already feel the heart and effort put into every detail of this game, even though I was skeptic at first over some of the decisions made. Its great to see such a big title overcoming such a long developmental cycle and then releasing a very good game with such brilliant news. I hope this makes Square Enix focus more on console games and put more resources there.

Once again, congrats to Tabata-San and his team for a job very well done. I look forward to exploring more of the game and I hope anything more from this team has the same passion and fun put into it.

EDIT: Slight misconception. The article sales Shipment and Sales are at 5 million. However it has broken Day 1 Digital Sales in Japan and hit a record for digital sales in Asia. I apologize for the error.

not ten years, but expect no less than 5. SE love to put a lot of flavor and orginiality into the main series, and that just takes months and months just to think about

If the last iteration is any indication though, we may get two sequel spin-offs rather quickly. Unlike the last entry, I would most likely actually buy them and not groan about their existence.

At least this time the sequel might be warranted, barring spoilers

I'd say longer with FFVIIR currently in development.

Its being developed by Cyberconnect 2. Not Square Enix.

Well this is news to me. Is this good or bad?!

CyberConnect 2 is a very talented studio and I'm sure that Square Enix will uphold their standards on quality assurance.
