Reception
Each entry released in the series has received mixed to positive reviews. Final Fantasy XIII, despite the controversy it garnered for its highly linear gameplay style, broke sales records for the franchise and eventually went on to sell over 6 million units. Its sequel XIII-2 received a more positive reception, though the story was criticized. The game sold over a million units, though Square Enix has not released its exact sales figures, and the two XIII games together sold nearly ten million units. Type-0 has had the best reception of all, with it garnering near-perfect scores in Japan's gaming magazines and becoming one of the best-selling games of the year.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“To aim to convert a man by miracles is a profanation of the soul. A true conversion, a true Christ, is now, as always, to be made by the reception of beautiful sentiments.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
