Square Enix has announced via a collaboration with a Japanese musical theatre group that the Final Fantasyfranchise has sold over 180 million units worldwide.

Our team’s Ryuji has translated the message below:

We are pleased to announce that the Takarazuka Revue performance lineup for 2024 has been finalized for the Takarazuka Grand Theatre and Tokyo Takarazuka Theatre.
[…] The legendary Final Fantasy series has shipped and downloaded over 180 million copies worldwide since the first game was released in 1987. With its beautiful graphics, unique worldview, and rich storyline, the series has captivated people not only in Japan but also around the world and has expanded beyond the boundaries of video games to include TV dramas, movies, Kabuki, and various other media mixes.

The latest title in the series, FINAL FANTASY XVI, was released in June 2023 and has been a huge worldwide sensation; it will be performed at the Takarazuka Revue. The collaboration between Takarazuka Revue and FINAL FANTASY will create an innovative musical work.

Up from 173 million units in March 2022, nice

FF16 topping up that number nicely.

FF16 topping up that number nicely.

Definitely sounds like it. That game is probably at least around 3.5 million now, if not close to 4 million.

But remember it's still a failure, somehow, because salty fanboys and "journalists" have said so.
