Critics praised the expanded story and the updated battle system for its strategic elements and visual flourishes, but the linearity and repetitive side-quests received criticism. The game was one of the fastest-selling PlayStation 4 games, selling more than 3.5 million copies in three days and more than 7 million by September 2023. The second game in the remake trilogy, <i><a href="/wiki/Final_Fantasy_VII_Rebirth" title="Final Fantasy VII Rebirth">Final Fantasy VII Rebirth</a></i>, was released in 2024. </p> <div id="toc"
