Despite the positive development news, Final Fantasy XVI's May 2024 launch sales underperformed, falling short of initial projections. While precise sales figures remain unannounced, Square Enix has clarified that they don't view Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's sales as a complete failure, and similarly, believe Final Fantasy XVI still has potential to meet its targets within the allotted 18-month timeframe. Sales figures for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth have also not been publicly released.
