For comparison, Octopath Traveller sold 1m copies in its first three weeks, while Bravely Default 2 sold 950k in around 7-8 months.
The numbers are impressive for such a niche genre. Perhaps the success of Fire Emblem: Three Houses (around 3m copies sold in its first year) has ignited interest in the genre.
Malindy described the game as an «intricate, if slow-burn tale of war and political intrigue» in the Triangle Strategy Eurogamer review.
