Recently, Kondo Jihiro, the president of Falcom Japan, said in an interview that the market response to "Kisetsu no Kiseki the 1st" in the two months since its release has far exceeded expectations, with the response from users on the Steam platform being the most enthusiastic.This classic remake, which will be launched simultaneously on Steam, PS5 and Switch platforms in September 2025, has won unanimous praise from players around the world.

President Kondo specifically pointed out that the trial version launched one month before the release played a key role in promoting the game."According to user surveys, 'experienced the trial version' is the primary reason why players buy games, and Steam is the platform with the highest number of trial versions." He revealed that in addition to the North American and European markets, the sales performance in China was particularly impressive, setting a historical record for the series' sales in China.

Although as a medium-sized developer, Japan's Falcom faces challenges in coordinating simultaneous global releases and multi-platform transplants, President Kondo believes that this remake provides a rare practical opportunity.“We realized that if we do not implement simultaneous global sales now, we may never be able to achieve it in the future.” Although the workload was huge, the strategy of simultaneous sales finally gained market recognition.
