The open spaces suggest more titles are coming.

Lightning's Eyes are haunting. :shock:

Freak me out every time.

When you consider there are 12 games in the main series with at least 10 spin offs, that isn't surprising at all.

Considering some of those titles sold 10 million copies, not to mention the series have lived so long, that is impressive. 

Hooray for Square!

And this generation there'll be even more FF than ever before.

The spinoffs rarely sell much its the main franchise that sells very high, I'm pretty sure 50 millions at least come from the main games FF1 to 12 (including FFX-2 and FF Tactics) 

Hooray for Square!

And this generation there'll be even more FF than ever before.

There will be at least 13 FF titles shown at the Square Enix Party next month.

I knew there was going to be a lot of FF but I didn't know there would be 13. Man, Square Enix certainly knows how to throw a party.

I certianly don't want to diminish Final Fantasy or its highly impressive sales. 

But I do want to point out that the Mario franchise has sold 193 million units in its time.

This isn't a fanboy thing. It's really just to point out that those ol' mainstay games, yer Final Fantasy and Mario and (probably) Sonic, are definitely major players. That's all.

Considering there are hundreds of mario games (no kidding, its actually true) 193 million is not really that high, most games on that list are old and have many sequels etc. I am not saying mario is bad but its not completely amazing considering the average is about 1 million a game, not bad but most of its due to Mario being in almost everything from basketball, to tennis its crazy.

Square Enix Talks Future

Accordingly the company is not planning to release a lot of major titles for next-generation platforms during 2007 (Dragon Quest IX apparently being the exception). Instead, Square Enix aims to generate profit by releasing ports, remakes and lower budget titles.
