I see it the other way around. Remakes aren't as popular as one might think, even if the first game was. A new entry into the franchise would easily prove more profitable. I refer to my earlier post, my expectations for a FFVII remake would be somewhere around 4-5 million (which is absolutely fantastic for a remake), but for a brand new FF game 5 million is pretty much the lowest it could possibly sell. There's simply no reason for them to remake FF7 on a HD system when it costs so much, and especially when this is current hardware we're dealing with. Why make a FF7 remake and make $30 million when you can make FF15 with the same costs and make $80 million?*

* Numbers completely made up on the spot, they're probably nowhere near what they would actually make, just trying to illustrate my point.

But you can't. There's no feasible way their dvelopment costs would be the same.
