Final Fantasy VII may be the most popular Final Fantasy game of all time, but Final Fantasy XI has been the most profitable game in the series.
CEO Yoichi Wada gave a speech at the Vana Fest 2012 event saying:
“Looking at profitability, it’s the top of all past FF games.”
The total playing time of all the people that have played Final Fantasy XI over the last ten years accumulates to over 200,000 years according to Wada.
This comes after the announcement a new expansion pack for the game will be released in 2013.
Final Fantasy XI must have a really loyal fan-base. Not all MMO games are profitable, so it’s amazing to see Final Fantasy XI being popualr even after ten years since it was first released.
