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"
source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Fantasy_VII
And your Math is quite wrong, with Inflation $45 milllion then would be like $65 Million now not "$368 million"
source: http://www.westegg.com/inflation/
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.

lol this is too funny XD
Do you not know what production cost is?
Here is an Idea for you for what goes into the production cost of a game, http://vgsales.wikia.com/wiki/Video_game_costs
(I mean you could have just googled it yourself)
Also maybe you should read the Article next time as I have and the maybe you will see that there is no source claiming the cost of FF7 to be $368 million (inflation included), seriosuly you have pulled this number from somewhere magical. No source no proof but its cool, I'll save you the embarrassment. If you can find a legitimate source then I will believe you but until then what you have said is complete BS in terms of prodiction costs which include "Development+Manufacturing+Marketing costs".
edit: I see your source now but it may not be very legitimate, in sense that i dont see it costing 100 million to make CD's for manufacture in 1997.
