Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles has officially surpassed over one million sales worldwide. News of this massive milestone was shared via an official press release, where producer Kazuto Maehiro shared thanks towards the fanbase. Here’s exactly what was said:
“The entire development is incredibly grateful to you all, and we are taking this positive reception as motivation to continue considering future updates to make the game even more enjoyable and accessible to an even wider audience.”
This sales milestone is no small feat, especially at only approximately three months since release. If anything, this proves that there’s still room and appreciation for remakes and remasters of popular franchises and unique titles. Despite the genre, modernizing such titles provides them with a second life on current-gen platforms, so to speak. And according to Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles, it has the potential to pay off, big time. Here’s hoping more old gems follow the same route.
What made Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles such a standout was the balance between new features and nostalgia. While fans are able to dive into the new mechanics and dialogue, there’s also a classic mode. This version lets players undergo a run of the original 1997 release, complete with the retro graphics and gameplay. In other words? Players have the best of both worlds.
Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2.
