where are FF13 info for how much it cost? Less say it was cheaper to make. Pretty sure that it didnt make them as much money as FF7 at least, especially considering that people are STILL buying that game.


FF7 = 368 Million with (2013) inflation considered

FF13 =77 Million (2013)

Going by those numbers , and if FFXIII-2 was half the budget of the first maybe the whole series of FFXIII should be in the 150-200Million range. So if 175 Million overall that would be half of FF7's budget, and the FFXIII series should easily match overall sales between these 2 series and like you claim FF7 is still selling. Likewise I'm sure FFXIII series is still sellling in small numbers.

Which is better? As always that's for "you" to decide. Not me. :) But FFXIII is better than 7 ;)

lol Where did you pull these numbers for Production costs ... just no
FF7 production cost was around $45 million which interestingly  "It was the most expensive video game of its time, with a budget of around US$45 million"

And your Math is quite wrong, with Inflation $45 milllion then would be like $65 Million now not "$368 million"

I cant find a Solid number for FF13 but a lot of sources tend to agree with around the number you stated with it being upwards of $80 Million

Still with these numbers said It shows with the success on scale with both 7 and 13 it shows with sales as 7 has sold more and was more well recieved from both a Critics stanpoint and also the General public in gaming.
You could Still like 13 more then 7, that is your opinion. But the simple fact there is a thread like this really shows everyone that 13 was probly the most unloved of the Final fantasy games as there really are no other threads saying this about any of the other FF games.
