Yeah it's real lol

Yeah, this is something people forget about how big this game was. It singlehandedly pushed an entire new console launch to the sideline. It was an amazing power play by Sony and Squaresoft at the time.
the FF game that aged the worst. Never liked it, don't think I ever will, but happy anniversary!
sure, if you ignore literally half the seriesthe FF game that aged the worst. Never liked it, don't think I ever will, but happy anniversary!
Of course the OP would make a FF8 love topic.
Meanwhile i"m just
:P
Final Fantasy series sales (excluding remasters):
Is that so? I'm not sure town dialogue and events take that much space compared to cutscenes. I was under the impression that the development team simply ran out of time (ironic!) and budget to properly make the future towns.

because I want to wish it happy anniversary since I love the franchise
which half? FF 1 and FF 2? FF 1 has aged but it got a somewhat decent remake that is actually free to play so it doesn't look nor play awfully, FF 2 is the worst so nothing can save the game, FF 3 and 4 had excellent remakes that live up to this day and are still quite fine to play. FF V and VI got shafted with the "remakes" they got but the originals not only hold up, but look better than their respective remakes. The sprites in FF VI are just art. FF VII has aged badly, but it's getting a remake in 2099, the rest I feel like, hold up very well. Maybe FF XI, but that is also getting a remake
Remakes/remasters aren't considered holding up so I don't know why you'd bring them up at all. They're designed to modernize things to make them more playable. Vanilla 1, 2, 3 and maybe 4 all feel very dated, 7's visuals are very primitive and 9's extremely slow. If you want to throw side series or spin offs in there most of the olds ones suck.which half?

FF8 has always been one of the best selling titles and is only one of four FF titles that sold above 8 million. Even taking into account first runs, it'll drop to fourth at worst once XV is done selling (that's probably going to either settle in behind or ahead of VII and is probably well ahead of that 8.1 million by now). However what's important to note here, and is often lost in context, is that 8 million in the time of FF8 isn't quite the same as 8 million today.
For that time, 8 million meant it was basically a juggernaut in the market relative to other titles. Comparable titles of that standing today are selling a lot more than 8 million. Unfortunately, while the gaming market has expanded, FF hasn't really shown as much growth as a series.
So yeah, FF8 was a big seller back in the day. And still remains as one of the best selling entries in the franchise.
sorry that this game has a good woman protag instead of the crybaby in your avatar :POf course the OP would make a FF8 love topic.

Since we haven't heard anything yet from SE here is the one game that is celebrating the anniversary which is Mobius. It already has 2 chapters released and follows Time Compression happening in Ultimecia's castle. It's japan only right now so maybe Global gets the event in the summer.
Chapter 2 has a neat shot of original Squall:
Speaking of mobile, I should compile all VIII items I have in each gacha game since I focus on pulling for them.
Did you go back into the Ragnarok and talk to everyone?So uh ... is it weird if the center thing you climb down to get into the Deep Sea Rearch Facility isn't in my game?
