Physical and digital sales of ~5 million copies worldwide.

This would be much better than my estimated number. Well I think it’s time that Square Enix drops the demo this week if they want to convince, the last doubting potential buyer.
It’s only 16 days until release.

I think 3 million in the first week, 5 million first month, 8 mil first 18 months, 15 million lifetime

 

[avenovah]

Ah, the good old days.

There's no way FF 16 is selling 15 million

The gameplay is exactly what many people do like nowadays: simple Action Combat. If it’s a huge hit then it’s definitely possible. They will probably release also a major dlc at last.

There's no way this game sells 15 million even with what you listed. It would have to become a phenom like Monster Hunter or Elden Ring did.

Final Fantasy XVI has likely passed 10 million downloads!
This looks like a massive success for Sony.

Whoops edit. Probably means demo lol

 

[Eternal_Wings]

10 million before launch… i highly doubt it

Demo dude.

An actual survey if fans wish for more content or continuation for FFXVI. A direct sequel like FFXVI-2 would be possible!

 

[Eternal_Wings]

Yessssss!

I don't care, it's my personal GOTY.

Dion is the best character in the game. Would love to see a DLC about him along the lines of an Ignis episode with an alternate or extended ending.

Yeah feel you. If GotY Awards would be fair, FFXVI would win it.
