Cloud Nine. We knew that Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles was off to a good start when it launched on Switch and Switch 2 back at the end of September 2025, but Square Enix has today announced that it has already hit a pretty impressive sales milestone. As revealed in a post from the…
Trainers beware, you’re in for a scare. Soapbox features enable our individual writers and contributors to voice their opinions on hot topics and random stuff they’ve been chewing over.
