Doesn't surprise me, they're all good games. I wish Chrono Cross would jump on to the Australian store.

Really awesome, I hope this sends a message to Square to release more although they've done a pretty commendable job already. I wonder if all those people who bought CT and this month's FFVI feel jipped though with the load times :(

wait... ff six was released?

mmmmmuuuuusssst have

There's probably no way to know, but I'm really curious if the purchases are being made by old-timey Squaresoft fans or newer gamers curious about these PS1 classics.

Also, I feel compelled to buy these even though I actually own a lot of them on disc. :kakapo:

Hey Square, how about you do a BRAND NEW GAME that's similar to these? Clearly people still like this stuff.

I don't think they heard you. You should probably add bold to your caps.

Surprised me because I thought we were in the minority in terms of taste in video games.

But I think we are in the majority of the market that is interested in 10+ year old games.

More like this is just showing that people are desperate for a good RPG fix, and most of those games can do it. ;)

I really need to jump back into some PS1 classic RPGs. I played a lot of them but also missed a lot because there were so many. Next year looks to be pretty barren for me in terms of new releases, so maybe I'll start jumping back in soon-ish.

Yeah there were so many. I posted months ago asking what the best newer rpgs were, since I hadn't played rpgs in years, just assuming that the trend of awesome rpgs had,of course, continued. Imagine my disappointment. It's a little sad. Oh well. I just wish there were some boutique developer making games like they used to. Unfortunately the video game industry really is a victim of its own success. Hopefully, this is just a trend. Trends come and go. Just imagine a game like FF6 (or 7 or 9) or Chrono Trigger, i.e. story, gameplay etc., but with a modern graphics engine. It could be such a beautiful thing. But for now there are still a host of old games I haven't played so I still have my PS3 to play old PS1 games. seems a little odd, but oh well.

Things are looking good for Square Enix for December 2011.
Top PSone Classics:
1) FINAL FANTASY VI – Part of Square-Enix’s ‘Winter of RPGs’, Final Fantasy VI jumped to the top of the charts in its December release.
2) FINAL FANTASY VII
3) CHRONO CROSS
4) FINAL FANTASY V
5) Crash Bandicoot

PS. To any Ciddies/Admins can you please take November edition out of the title of the thread. I'll just update this one thread with charts going forward.

Do they ever release sales numbers to go along with those 'top x' rankings?

No, they dont usually release Sales figures. These are provided by the PS Blog. Maybe Square Enix might release sales figure, other than that you can wait for the Financial report from SONY and take an estimated stab at it. Keep in mind, NPD doesn't track digital downloads.

There is something terribly wrong with a company that looks at this and doesn't decide to make games of a similar calibre.

Nobody hardly ever posts hard numbers for downloaded titles. Maybe because they really don't sell all that much on PSN? Although I do know Sony reported when FFVII on PSOne Classics sold over 100,000. That's all I can remember, though.

Just curious how much being #1 actually means. It's all well and good to be at the top, but if that only means moving 1000 copies a week I don't think it qualifies as a market force.

To be fair to SE (did I just write that?), it's not like it's easy to make games as good or as memorable as some of the Square classics. Everyone would be doing it and would have done it already. Player taste is different these days too. What flew back then might not necessarily fly now. It really just seems like SE struggle when putting together complete, quality games these days.

I don't agree at all that player taste is different these days. There are plenty of people that like movies that were popular way before they were even born. Don't see why it can't be the same for games.

It isn't about taste, it is about know and how of crafting full spec 3D FF , I mean looking at their flagships of 3D FF games we have 2 MMOs(11/14), MMO single player(12), 2 critical reactions(13/13-2). Probably they don't know how to make full spec 3D FF within short dev cycle.

Oh there are most definitely people who like older game design today, me among them. I would play the absolute hell out of, like ShinGundin just said, a fully realized current-gen FF game. Though it came out like six years ago, Dragon Quest 8 was my own and a lot of other players' favourite PS2 game. If a company can translate everything that used to make their old games good into a current-gen game, without cutting corners, then they've done a good thing. Dark Souls, for instance, is a great game that takes after something like the NES Castlevanias. Not many people will criticize DS for feeling old, but FromSoftware did a magnificent job taking a design mentality from a long time ago and using modern tech to make something that is seamless to younger gamers and "the game I dreamed about being made when I was holding a two-button NES controller as a child" to older ones.

But that said, I also think a vast number of new gamers (let's say, 10-year-olds getting their first XBox or PS3) have become accustomed to "newer" style games. It's perfectly normal and fine, of course. Things that were good will still be good, but trends shift and suddenly a giant from a previous era is stumbling along trying to adapt and please the next generation of a demographic they used to have by the throat. SE more than likely know that they don't have the same talent on payroll as they used to, but they're doing what they can within the constraints of their situation.

YES that's what I loved so much about Dragon Quest VIII and Demon's Souls after it, it's an NES game fully rendered in modern graphics with absolutely no concern whatsoever about modern game design.

Also, you spelled favorite wrong.

I don't necessarily think there's no concern for modern design in those games - I just think they are perfect mixes of the concept of old games and the slick playability and incredible presentation of modern ones. But if you mean that the developers of both games avoided dummying their products with me-too mechanics to fit in with the market, then yeah I totally agree with you. DQVIII and the D-Soulses are just... amazing.

Also, you spelled favorite wrong.

No you. ;)


Back on topic: Imagine FFIV or V done up with the same treatment as DQVIII? It would be glorious. XII actually did a good job bringing back the old school sense of adventure for me, which is partially why it's one of my favourite games in the series. But I'd really like to see a light-hearted job-system game done up in HD with the NES/SNES aesthetic though.

Basically I'm asking for a FFV HD remake. Is that so wrong.

FF12 was more of "dungeon crawler" than being an adventure game, or did we forget randomize treasures, loot, lack of Gil drops, the feel of walking through endless dungeons?

I didn't forget anything - I meant what I said.

January sales are in! Square Enix reclaims all 5 top spots for PSone classics and re-emerges in the PS Store's PSP catalog!

January 2012
PSone Classics
1) Final Fantasy VII
2) Final Fantasy VI
3) Final Fantasy Origins
4) Chrono Cross
5) Final Fantasy IX

Digital PSP
4) Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of The Lions

I'm amazed that FFVII still sells like this. I mean, die-hards likely already have the game and all of the merch, so who is still buying it? Must be word of mouth still. I wonder what all the new players think of it.

FYI, I don't myself have it, but if I pick up a PSP one of these days my first order of business will be to grab V-IX and Tactics off the store.

Yes, but it is only competing against other PS1 classics. I wouldn't be surprised if #1 spot was only like 100 copies. :lol:

Not sure 100%, VII passed 150K after one month from release just on US and EU.

I have no doubt in my mind that FF7 sold very well on PSN when it was released. But as Flying Arrow pointed out, it is hard to imagine it has a large market of people nowadays that haven't purchased it yet.

We have no way of knowing if being on the top of PSOne Classics means anything. The fact that FF7 is continually at the top, even in the face of much more recent re-releases, is what leads me to think this.

Good to see us still on top.

Whoa there. "Us"? Aren't you a huge IX fan? Pick a side and stick with it. ;)

I believe he means Final Fantasy as a series. Domination, brah. We can bicker about which one is the best but when trout goes down you know we're a united front like. :p

I think this just shows that a FFVII remake for the PS3 would sell a bazillion copies.

But remember it would take 20 years to make.

That's perfect! Then I'll have something to play when right when I send my kids off to college.

These are not download numbers. There are in fact "SALES", as in people purchasing them. If you look at the first post, you can see FFVII gets dethroned in both October and November (coinciding with the release of Crono Cross and Final Fantasy VI respectively), but it reclaims the top spot shortly after. Reason? Because it's hands down the best PSone title out there and new PSP/PS3/PSV players continue to show their support with eager demand for this gem.

There are plenty of gamers who have never even played FFVII before. There's another gaming generation now that's grown up without it, whose first foray into Final Fantasy was XII or XIII. The game has sold magnificently, but it has not come close to being bought by everyone in the gaming community. There are still people buying it, and there will continue to be people buying it as long as we can keep it alive and keep passing the word of it on to others.

Now if only Square will get it through their heads to release Secret of Mana on something besides the IPhone.

I just got this for my iPhone, it's great and all... But wouldn't it be so nice if they could do hand drawn (like in Legend of Mana) for PSN / Live and in HD? That'd make me wet myself, for sure. In fact, do it for Seiken Densetsu 3 too and give us an official translation! #onecandream

Thinking on it, PSN and Live would be a great place for SE to utilize a new dev department. It would concentrate on making quality pre-rendered/hand-drawn 2D RPGs and could service the same old-school gamer crowd that buys Mega Man 10 or an HD re-scale of a popular series. This department could be called... "Squaresoft".

February sales are in. FFVII and FFVI refuse to leave the top PSone classics throne. Thanks to the price drop to $5.99, FFT:WOTL clinched first in PSP sales and Dissidia duodecim clocked in 5th. February's top downloaded DLC content for PS3 belonged to FFXIII-2!

5) Final Fantasy XIII-2 – Sazh: Heads or Tails?

I would love and I know I am just wishing here if square brought out the sequel to secret mana now that would be awesome. Downloading chrono trigger and final fantasy six when I already have it seems just pointless.

April Stats are in and SE takes a dive. Final Fantasy was the only series that stayed on:

April 2012

4) Final Fantasy IX

Digital PSP
2) Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions

Still on top? I'm guessing that it is only a small amount like what's his name thought.

I am glad that they can still get sales for their older titles. That means that they still have the respect and admiration of their fanbase -- something that they get accused of losing touch with from time to time.

Sorry about the late update. May came out about a week ago!

Legend of Dragoon for PSone and Monster Hunter Freedom Unite for PSP (kinda vague there Del, didn't know which one you were talking about). You can view the full June 2012 best selling PSN titles here:
June 2012 PSN Top Sellers – Magic: The Gathering Casts a Powerful Spell – PlayStation Blog

Is Legend of Dragoon even worth playing again? The only time I ever played it was back on release and I remember liking it. But there were a lot of things I liked in those days...

Thoughts?

It was a pretty decent game. I don't necessarily have the love of it like some people do, but combat was pretty good and the story at least holds your interest even if the writing isn't great.

ctrl + F

vagrant story

no results :(

Well I for one got Vagrant Story!

I'm just glad they're actually making money so that i'll still get my vs13

That's if they don't push it into the next Console generation. ;)

They won't.

Six years with barely any info, and the technical director within SE wishing the next generation would come out so they can better utilize an engine that vXIII is confirmed to use, I don't know man. I think it is very plausible unless SE finally reveals some real info in the next year.

TGS, man. TGS.

Then again...

I still want Dragon Warrior VII for my PSP...

I still want the PS1 Chronicles version of FFIV for my PSP...:(

Super late with July, but here it is:


July 2012
PSone Classics
2) Final Fantasy VII
3) Final Fantasy IX
4) Final Fantasy VIII

PS3 & PSN
17) Quantum Conundrum

Seem to be slipping quite a bit! D:

August just went up today! FFVII was a launch title for PSone classics on PS Vita, so that probably help give it a boost to reclaim top spot:

August 2012
PSone Classics
1) Final Fantasy VII
3) Final Fantasy IX
5) Final Fantasy VIII

Digital PSP
4) FINAL FANTASY TACTICS: THE WAR OF THE LIONS
5) DISSIDIA 012[duodecim] FINAL FANTASY

Geez they're looking stronger all of a sudden.

September's out!

September 2012
PSone Classics
1) Final Fantasy VII
4) Final Fantasy IX
5) Final Fantasy VIII

Digital PSP
3) DISSIDIA 012[duodecim] FINAL FANTASY
4) FINAL FANTASY TACTICS: THE WAR OF THE LIONS

So happy they're still in the top 5, with my #1 as... #1! It feels good!

So no other square title sin digital PSP? I was wondering since all of their newer titles have been digital, which is a great thing for PSP Go owners like myself... I should really get FFIV...

FFIV complete collection was #2 in march (when it was released), but it hasn't been able to keep it's spot. Who knows, maybe FFIII will clock in.

Various pieces of FFXIII-2 DLC has been on the top PS3 DLC list quite a few times earlier this year.

Final Fantasy III clocked last month!

October 2012
PSone Classics

Dominating is right. Look at that. Consistently kicking ass.

Please SE get the message, please get the message, please get the message (fingers crossed) :exdee:

Start releasing more games for all the platforms, SE. I totes want all the PSP Final Fantasy games playable on my PS3.

To quote a famous historical character:

Shut up and take my money.

All SE PSP titles were knocked off the list :( But the PSone trio keep their spots :D

November 2012

Hint hint, Square. Rereleasing your games gets you more money. So release FFX HD and Secret of Mana on PSN already.

Better yet, localize seiken densetsu 3 and make it a digital download title for every goddamn console in the world. It is a fantastic game.

Uh, yeah, occasionally. At one point, several of the games were free for playstation+ members. (Each Tuesday they add a new game that's free to download for ps+, square's had a few of those games). In fact, FFT:WotL is free right now for vita.

Aside from ps+, there are still occasional deals. Early 2012 during the "spring fever" thing, all the FFs were half off for ps+ users, and 30% off for everyone else. I bought several of them at that time even though I have multiple copies already. I'm a sucker, but a deal's a deal!

Yeah, I just recently purchased a ps3, and it came with playstation plus in it (the box said 1 month, but the card with the code on it said 1 year), so I'm currently a member. I would buy these games, but since I'm in no rush to play them and I own most of them, I'll wait for them to go on sale before I pick them up. Thanks though, now I know they DO go on sale.

I especially want that FF4, the complete collection though!

First update from 2013:

1) Final Fantasy VII
2) Final Fantasy IX
5) Final Fantasy VIII

With Square Enix's 50% off deal on PSN for FF titles, I am sure that they will stay that way for this month as well.

Yep, they swept February! That 50% Final Fantasy Anniversary sale did the trick :kaohappy2

3) Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions
4) Dissidia 012 Prologus: Final Fantasy

I do believe it's the first time SE cracked the PS3 list!
EDIT: It's not... :P Quantum Conundrum was #17 last July.

March 2013
PS3 & PSN Games
5) Tomb Raider
18) Deus Ex: Human Revolution

PSone Classics
1) Final Fantasy VII
2) Final Fantasy IX

It still seems weird to me, that Square Enix owns the rights to Tomb Raider now.

We've been doing this thread for a while now, but I'm still so impressed with the staying power of Final Fantasy VII-IX. I know PSOne Classics probably isn't the hottest selling section of the PSN Store, but I hope Square and others take note of just how many people still want to play these three games.

You have FF VII.

Then you have FF VIII, the horrible game they released.

Then you have FF VIII, the version that got released by fluke the people who claim this is a good game got by complete mistake.

Not true. They didn't develop Tomb Raider or Deus Ex. Square Enix just acts as publishers to them since they bought Eidos back in 2009. Deus Ex was developed by Eidos Montreal and Tomb Raider was by Crystal Dynamics.

Um okay, they OWN Eidos (which includes all studio that were under Eidos). Like it or not, Eidos Montreal, Crystal Dynamic and IO Interactive are all Square Enix developer Studios. Same way Enix dev's were folded into Square (i know i know that was a merger).

yep, they're pretty much like Square Enix Europe right now

Eidos Interactive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Eidos Interactive Ltd. (pron.: /ˈaɪdɒs/ EYE-doss), was a British video game publisher and has been replaced by Square Enix Europe."

"Although Square Enix said earlier that it would let Eidos Interactive remain as it is currently and not meddle in its internal affairs,[18] it has stopped publishing games under the Eidos brand, with new games coming out under the Square Enix brand instead. Currently the Eidos Interactive logo only appears for games developed by former Eidos-owned game studios."

Except Deus Ex was Eidos Montreal BoB :p (which also still exists)

Montreal's a fair ways away from Europe!

Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a cyberpunk-themed action role-playing video game developed by Eidos Montreal and published by Square Enix

There's a big difference between being the developer of a game and the publisher of a game which is what Shoeberto was getting at.

Christ I really did just get involved in one of these arguments of semantics I so loathe...

Eidos Montreal is still part of SE Europe. Don't take the "Europe" part literally.

Eidos Montreal is a Canadian video game development studio owned by Square Enix Europe, a subsidiary of Square Enix.

So, very different from Quantum Conundrum, which was developed by Airtight Games, which are independent of Square Enix.

Yup, so to make sure I've understood you - what you're saying is that you consider Tomb Raider and DXHR to be Square Enix's games because they own the companies who made them - despite not actually developing those games themselves directly - whereas Quantum Conundrum isn't where they don't own the developer who made it?

Exactly that. Like it or not, Tomb Raider games and Deus Ex games are now Square Enix games just as much as Pokémon games are Nintendo games.

Eh. I nitpick because I think it's important to distinguish between the developer and the publisher. I don't really know what SE calls their own in-house dev studio anymore (the people who make the FFs, Kingdom Hearts, whatever), but obviously it's not the same teams that made Tomb Raider and Deus Ex. Maybe it's me being finicky.

They just number the Japan-based dev studios. FFXIV was developed by Square Enix Product Development Division 3, for example.

Click this to see which team 'owns' what.

EDIT: For what it's worth, I still consider Tomb Raider a Crystal Dynamics game, too. Likewise DE:HR a Eidos game. I just also see them as Square Enix games... I don't see it as mutually exclusive.

Who do I have to kill to get you people to understand my point of view?
(that was a joke)

SE opened a new studio in Montreal called "Square Enix Montreal". They're developing a next-gen Hitman game as well as aiding Eidos Montreal with some future projects. The team is made up of plenty of Eidos development staff. Would that studio count as a "Square Enix developer" in your eyes?

Because that's pretty much what the Japan-based developers are. They're studio that have SE in their names with a Production team # attached to it. Tommarrow if SE felt like changing the name of one of their western studios to have Square Enix in it, they can. You know why? BECAUSE THEY OWN THEM.

Just how the gaming community bitches to EA when Biware or DICE do something they don't like, the same treatment is sent towards Square Enix when of their Eidos studios messes up (Dues Ex:HR bosses come to mind). Hope that cleared thing up for ya!

I can't believe I'm letting myself get dragged into this but here goes...

I fully understand you but I just do not think it's the best way to look at them as a development and publishing powerhouse.

The product development divisions at Square Enix are in-house as part of the parent company Square Enix Holdings Co. For all intents and purposes they are Square Enix. When a Final Fantasy main instalment is released it comes directly from them which is when people attribute Square Enix as the developer because for all intents and purposes it is a first-party title.

Eidos, Square Enix Europe etc are all subsidiaries and for the large part can probably operate quite autominously of the Holding Company barring any budgets/major projects that need signing off on etc. Eidos Montreal inparticular is a subsidiary of a subsidiary of the Holding Co.

Eidos Montreal developed Deus Ex whilst the parent company of it's parent company took on the publishing role of the game. This is why the Eidos Montreal brand name is on the game to show that it was developed by that studio and to identify it as a product of Eidos Montreal. The Holding Co. (which is what the Square Enix brand name is best known for) had to little to no involvement hence why it is not referred to as the publisher.

The term developer is used to refer directly to the studio that had the most involvement in the development process in the case it is not done in house by the holding company itself. These studios very often have their own PR, back office etc departments and for the most parts are independently operating business units within the organisation.

As I said before there is a very big difference between "developer" and "publisher" and context is everything. In the case of Deus Ex it was developed by Square Enix's studio Eidos Montreal not directly by Square Enix Holdings Co. which published it. Ergo Eidos Montreal is classed as the developer and Square Enix as the publisher.

For the most part being the publisher is a financial investment that's expecting a RoI.

Tommarrow if SE felt like changing the name of one of their western studios to have Square Enix in it, they can. You know why? BECAUSE THEY OWN THEM.

Not really considering Eidos Montreal is a subsidiary of a subsidiary so there is an entire beauraucratic chain of command such a re-branding would have to get signed off on first let alone barring major shareholder approval. Theoretically they indeed could do this. If they did then the games developed by that newly re-branded studio would still be considered games developed by that newly re-branded studio.

Of course you can argue that as Square Enix Holdings Co. own Square Enix Europe who own Eidos Montreal that Deus Ex was developed by Square Enix but that is a rather reductive point of view and does not properly credit the studio who is directly responsible for the game nor the colossal amount of business involved in making it and the phrase developed by Square Enix would generally refer to stuff made by the Product Development Divisions to avoid consumer confusion.

For example if you apply to work for Eidos Montreal you are applying to work directly for them on their payroll which is based according to investment and market performance of that studio, you are contracted directly to them - not SE Holdings Co. - and are the responsibility of Eidos Montreal's HR and business operations teams. Now of course in the unlikely event that whilst you're working at Eidos Montreal you gleam of information of a secret project that Product Development Division 1 is working on and then go and tell the internet - the Holdings Co. has every feasible grounds to start an internal audit to get you ass kicked out the door.

Not entirely accurate. EA gets a lot of flack for it's rather aggressive absorbtion of studios in the early 2000s where when acting in the publisher role the destroyed the IPs of the studios they absorbed by becomming too controlling in the development process. So when EA acquires a new studio and the next product from that studios IP isn't up the par the gaming community has a rather self-perpetuating ideology that the smurf-up was because of EA, not because of the studio - regardless of whether or not that was the case. No-one goes around saying that EA developed Mass Effect or Dragon Age for example because it was BioWare and BioWare were the ones who were getting pretty thoroughly blasted by the community for DA2 and the ME3 endings. It's not like people phoned up DICE going "oh you're part of EA so you're responsible for how bad ME3 was /rage" - see hence the whole context between "developer" and "publisher."

Likewise Eidos Montreal directly got the brunt of criticism through their own social channels for the faults in DXHR and then in turn it was Eidos Montreal's PR guy who gave us the look at DXHR Director's Cut because they are the ones developing it.

Context is everything - the industry is pretty smart at differentiating between the two. Infact the term second-party developers is used specifically for this.

Out of breath yet from all the back and forth? Well...

Okay, one last Question:

I consider DICE to be an EA studio whereas Crytek is not, although both studio's games come out with EA on the label.

I just see all these teams as Square Enix now, *shrugs*

To be fair, DICE is owned by EA and Crytek is independently owned and contracted by them for the Crysis series. Crytek owns the IP, whereas everything DICE makes is owned by EA.

Sounds like Phil Rogers (Eidos) is soon to become a director of SE Holdings, so I'd say SE is getting a bit more 'merged' with Eidos than it might have been in the past.

I think SE is still in a bit of a transition state with Eidos and some of the properties. SE owns the rights to the franchises and can give them to other studios to develop just as Nintendo gave Donkey Kong to Rare and Metroid to Retro Studios or *shudder* Team Ninja. That is where I think SE is with all of the stuff they have acquired. This purchased properties are more like Pseudo SE and Pseudo dev house.

It is one of those tricky sort of things but I think in a year after whatever restructuring goes on some of this Published vs Developed will become a bit clearer.

Last Month wasn't soo great for PSone titles, but the Tomb Raider Flash Sale helped bump it up higher than last month when it released!


April 2013
PS3 & PSN Games
2) Tomb Raider

Late with this update :p

May 2013
PSone Classics
1) Final Fantasy VII
3) Final Fantasy IX
4) FINAL FANTASY VIII

I'd be really interested in knowing just how many of each game they've sold through PSN. I wonder if I can get hold of that data...

Seeing as SE is desperate to post some good news for the year and they haven't released the numbers, I'm going to say not that much in the grand scheme of things.

Really I just want to know if FFVII has become the best selling PS1 game of all time.

Alright guys they made some changes to the PSN top Sellers lists. PSone Classics has been merged with PS2 classics and the list has been expanded to 10 titles (FFVII has lost the top spot to the PS2 GTA games). The PSP games list has been expanded include 10 titles as well. Without further ado, here's the new list:

June 2013
PS3 & PSN Games
3) Tomb Raider

Classics
3) Final Fantasy VII (PSone)
6) Final Fantasy IX (PSone)
8) Final Fantasy VIII (PSone)

Digital PSP
3) FINAL FANTASY TACTICS: THE WAR OF THE LIONS
8) DISSIDIA 012[duodecim] FINAL FANTASY

Sorry for the double posts, but there appears to be a seperate list for the EU PS Blog:PlayStation Store charts, June: The Last of Us, Hotline Miami rule all ? PlayStation.Blog.Europe

Only One square Enix title came up:

PSone and PS2 Classics:
8. Final Fantasy VII


I wont update the First Post with the EU lists, but I'll post them up alongside the NA PSN list when they're released :D

They need to stop slacking and release Crisis Core as a download on PSN.

They can't because of some copyright law on the credits song, and they are too lazy to change the song.
It makes me very sad.

It is a bit pathetic when a company can't release their own game, otherwise they'd get sued. =\

July is in!

Hey, physical copies get damaged. I'll probably be getting my 5th copy of FFIX off PSN within the next month.

Alright guys August is up! SE titles returns to the PSP lists and "Chaos Rings" debuts on the PS Mobile list at #1! On the classics front FFVII lost out on the top spot to GTA:SA (PS2) and Metal Gear Solid (PSone).

I'm just happy to see VIII in a top ten anything.

A couple changes happened over at the PS Blog. The "classics" and "PSP" categories have been slashed to just 5 titles (down from 10). There was a big Holiday PSN sale which included FFXIV & TR, which led to them resurfacing last month. GTA: San Andreas (PS2) and Metal Gear Solid (PSone) continue to outsell FFVII on the classics front.

Since I'm a little bored today I did the EU list too :D Keep in mind their lists are a little different than ours. They have 20 spots for their PS3 list where we have 10. We have 20 spots on PS4, where they have 10. Our Classics list is only 5 to their 10. Without further ado:

Good to see them already representing on PS4, hopefully they continue it throughout this generation!

Well since I added Europe's list, might as well get Asia's list done as well. Playstation Asia covers: Hong Kong, Indonesia, South Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam. "Drag-on Dragoon" returned for it's 3rd installment (Called Drakengard in the west). They don't seem to have a classics or PSP list, so only PS4, PS3 and Vita. Here's the final territory for February:

PS Vita

5. FINAL FANTASY X-2 HD Remaster Early Purchase Edition (Chinese/Korean Ver.)

Thief's debut and FFX|X-2 had a strong showing. First time SE has appeared on the Vita! Unfortunately, there was a big Grand Theft Auto Sale that pushed all Square Enix titles off of the PSOne/PS2 classics and Digital PSP lists. First time Square's been absent from the "Classics" list.

No PS3 or PS Vita games for Square :( A big RPG (read: Persona) Sale took the top spot on the PSP lists. Tomb Raider & FF:XIV still holding on in the PS4 list! The RPG sale also bumped the Crono games up the classics list!

Interesting to see the Chrono games jumping to #1 and #2. Did one of them only just get released, or did something else bring that about?

I believe it was an RPG sale that pushed them to the top. They're usually $10, but they were dropped to $5 & $3.50 for PS+ Members :)

EDIT: Found it. It's called the "Golden Week Sale". Golden week is a Holiday in Japan.

Quote:

In Japan, Golden Week encompasses four national holidays, and doubles as the biggest travel and shopping season of the year. This week, we pay homage to this tradition with a golden (wink) opportunity to pick up some awesome games at up to 50% off

Here it is: http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014/...anese-games-2/

The list isn't just PSone classics. They merged the PS1 & PS2 Classics lists together.

#2 is "Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 FES" (PS2)
#6 is "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" (PS2)

Complete list here:
http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014/...s-top-sellers/

Amusing. I just bought Persona 2 on there, so I could get a working copy onto my PSP. My girlfriend and her dad have most of the Square PS1 games on there as well. Nice having access to them

Ouch not a good month.

October was an SE fail. Nothing made it to the charts :(

I guess they finally hit market saturation on the PS1 games.

Might be referring to the DS FFIV port and things of a similar nature. Which I see no reason why they wouldn't be put on PSN. But it doesn't seem to be happening, so who knows

Probably not, since there isn't a single person who would mistake Diablo for a Square game over a Blizzard game lol.

Yeah that's true. But alot of people in Japan associate Call of Duty with Square Enix. A few years ago there was an uproar that the Square wasn't including the English voice track in the Japanese release (for Black ops 2 I think). SE now releases both language versions.

I won't include Acti/Blizz games in the future.

Really Good month for Square Enix across the board. In the US: Eidos sale, release of Heavensward and renewed interest in FFVII following the REMAKE announcement! Pretty good showing for Europe and Latin America as well! Lotta work for me today :p

Well that's a little unfair...some of the newer eidos titles clocked ;P

But yeah square really needs to pull a rabbit out of their hat with FFXV (and probably FFXVI), I can see them losing alot of their fan's trust if they pull more XIII shenanigans.
