It may crush it when it comes to gameplay and experience, but sales wise, it's quite abysmal in comparison. I tend to understand S-E's point of view when it comes to FF. They want to sell more because they invest so much in the development of those games. But their focus is at the wrong place. If they'd try to create a consistent universe and use CGI to a minimum, if at all, then the costs would be lowered. Back then, when they used sprites to tell the whole of their stories, the games were still effective in their narratives. Now, they're looking to make new fans because to recoup the cost of their games, they need to sell a lot more copied.
But they do that at the expense of their long time fans. If you ask me, I'd say that Team 1's heads need to go. Kitase and Toriyama have next to no grasp about what the series really is about. I'd put Ito as the head of Team 1, and make Kitase go back to directing the video segments only, if at all.
