You're quite mistaken if you think people in their 20s and 30s don't play video games anymore......

Oh its not that. Its just that I don't think that some DQ spinoffs and a remake of a game from the mid 90s will singlehandedly revive the console market in Japan. It would need to be something like a cultural phenomenon to do this feat.

But FF VII is a cultural phenomenon. As the console market in Japan is all but dead with 4 million "new gen" consoles sold. Even if FF VII will be trashed because "not true to the original" (lately any excuse is good to bash any FF game) it's undeniable that it will sell well, no matter if just out of curiosity from people to judge it themselves.

Then if it will be impressive it will remind some Japanese how the real games look and play, unlike that mobile junk.
