Moster hunter did 8 million in a single year, this game was such a failure
Came here to say this. It is astonishing that this game is Harolded as much as it is, and how long it’s been out on so many platforms, and that you would think by now it would have 20 million in sales minimum.

I now see why square refuses to do anything of significance with this IP.

Do not be fooled by that poster. People have been saying this and sequels longer than blood-borne.

It will never happen. This would’ve been the year to do it and they are not doing it.

If you have a steam deck, it is the perfect game to play on there. I’ve been replaying it the last month and a half a little by little and it could easily be a game that came out in 2025 as an indie JRPG with amazing presentation, story, characters, and combat. The soundtrack is in the top five ever made for a game.

Just commit some time. It’ll change your life.

Good riddance, they litterally go thousands of years into the past and future just so they can make female character stronger and smarter than the guy.
I'm not against women in games but it needs to be believalble.
 
This was on all the snes minis right? How many of those sold? I own it in a few different formats. I just started it on iOS last night.
Not 100% but I don’t think it was and you had to mod it to add the ROM.

That said I doubt they would include that in sales total.

Very good numbers imo considering the game was never released in Europe and that by the time the NDS version released everyone and their mothers had already played the game on ZSNES.

Anyway, numbers aside, easy top 5 best videogame ever. An absolute must, and those saying "nah don't play it just wait for the remake" should repent, go to church and find Jesus or something because they are lost for sure.

It’s interesting. The first time I played it I rented it from blockbuster. They only had one copy and it was always checked out. I doubt it got a very large distribution run in the 90/ even in the US. It also released very late in the life cycle.

The first time I beat them game it was definitely via emulators.

I avoided the ps1 version because of the loading times. I did eventually buy it via ps1 classics on the ps3 for the cutscenes though I’m not sure if I ever beat the game outside of emulation. I even emulated it on psp and RPI.

Square failed in the distribution of that game and they should have released a version without load times on PlayStation. It’s like they wanted the game to fail.

Edit: when I say PlayStation, I mean PS4.
