Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
13 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.

雷霆归来比前2部好玩太多了
This game was great even with square taking the budget and damning it to having quality issues. The team that made this fix the bs they game us in 13-2. If they ever remade this and gave it the budget that the flops 15 and 16 had, it would be the first AAA game from squares dying cash grab company in a long time.
It is very difficult. Time limit made me panic, but it is also a good guidance on how to play efficiently.

13 on sale2 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 2 “not sold” markets are read from the Steam price pass of Sep 13: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price in those. The 13 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.67/day in the week to Aug 4 → 1.29/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

This game is incredible. Cutscenes are so intense it gives me chills. 10/10. Pretty difficult though.
very good game

Gostei muito do jogo, curto a franquia Final Fantasy e essa protagonista, a Lightning ou Claire Farron, é fácil uma das minhas favoritas da franquia. Costumo chamá-la de "cabelinho rosinha cabulosa" porque o que ela consegue fazer é demais. Enfim, é isso, curti bastante o game.
+ Good for story completing - Hope narrating - Illegible stagger main battle system - Game force you to do NG+ if you want complete 100% quests and achivements - Weapons and Armors upgrade system only in NG+ - Full game system expirance only in NG+ More stable port than two previous games
unnecessary
