IX is seen as the second most popular game in the west. The game grew in popularity upon its re-release in 2007 as Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions for the PSP with added features such as new movies, scenarios and Jobs.
10,000 votes asking USA's favorite FF game. Released as the Final Fantasy series first tactical RPG in 1997, Final Fantasy Tactics on Playstation went on to sell over 2.4 million copies worldwide. This remake however can be released towards the beginning of the PS5's lifecycle, thereby increasing sales of the game by a lot compared to a post next gen launch game it originally was given.Īs for why IX after VII? Look at the poll from RPG gamer. It was in Europe and USA where FFIX only managed to sell 2.5 combined, which is horrible, which again was cause the casual fanbase was already moved on to the PS2 by then. In Japan however it sold 2.7 million, not far from FFVII's 2.8 mil, FFVIII's 3.5 million(which only sold so much cause of FFVII hype) and FFX's 2.9 million. It obviously is a business decision.Īnd to the people saying IX sold poorly.yea, cause it released 3 months after the PS2 was out in the USA/European region. There's a reason SE greenlit a FFIX cartoon.
Which is why FFIX is likely to be remade immediately.
