Square Enix has announced that Trails of Mana has sold over a million copies. This is counting worldwide sales for the systems PS4, PC, and Switch (both digitally and physically). 

This is a big accomplishment for the game that is a remake of the Japanese exclusive Seiken Densetsu 3 that launched in 1995 on the SNES. The game has been out for under a year, so there may be another sales update in the future.

Bravely Default II

In anticipation of its release, Square Enix released a demo of Bravely Default II on the eShop in March last year. In a recent interview with Famitsu, producer Masashi Takahashi spoke about the feedback the team received from fans who played it and revealed further improvements that weren’t detailed in the previous feedback video.

Takahashi stated the following, as translated by Nintendo Everything:

Bravely Default II

In a recent interview with Japanese publication Famitsu, Bravely Default II producer Masashi Takahashi commented on how the coronavirus pandemic impacted Bravely Default II’s development. Voice recording for foreign releases of the game had to be handled entirely remotely, and voice actors recorded from their homes while receiving coaching and guidance remotely. Takahashi also shared how the Japanese studios were impacted by the pandemic and why the team ultimately decided to delay the game.

Takahashi went on to say that the team needed extra time “in order to seriously address the opinions of fans who played the demo and produce something the development team was satisfied with”.
