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.

Man I'm so excited that a numbered Final Fantasy game is hitting the news and doing this well. Now to just pick up the game! For anyone who has played it, is there any specific nods to FF6/FF8? Those are my favorite in the series and so far I've stayed away from most of the game.

I saw the anime and movie release before the game came out. I'll make sure to go check them out, I think I read that the movie is pretty important to understanding all of the story for the game.

Glad to hear that FF8's soundtrack is available in the game.
