According to data released by VGC citing data blogger Game Data Library, "Final Fantasy: Origins" sold poorly in Japan in its first week, only higher than "Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Labyrinth", "Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles", "Final Fantasy: Fable" several Wii games, ranking fourth from the bottom of all Final Fantasy IP derivatives.
Although this data only covers retail sales, it does not reflect digital or global sales data. But the game sold a total of 46,849 physical copies on PS4 and PS5 in its first week.
Since the release of Final Fantasy: Origins, its performance on console and PC platforms has been widely criticized by players. At present, the most significant problem encountered by players is that when releasing the Soul BlastIng Finale, there will be a more exaggerated slow-motion animation effect. It puts the entire game in a slow-motion state, drastically reducing the fluidity of the overall combat. Some players also complained about the picture quality of the game, indicating that the rendering distance of the game is very close, and there are problems such as frequent error pop-up windows, excessive screen aliasing, and sticker paste.
