Last month, Square Enix released Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion, an enhanced version of the 2007 PSP game. The remake offered a much wider audience a chance to experience the prequel, and it seems many Final Fantasy fans embraced the opportunity! According to sales data shared by @RetailGamesLibrary, the title has sold 156,530 physical copies in Japan alone. That number makes it the biggest launch there for a Final Fantasy spin-off since 2014, when Final Fantasy Explorers released on Nintendo 3DS. When factoring in digital sales, Crisis Core just might be the third biggest launch for the franchise as whole in the last 10 years!
