Zelda isn't built to be a stupidly hight multi million seller franchise, they just happen to put out good numbers, and you can argue most, if not all of Nintendo's games are built to be more budget friendly
The problem with ff7R is that the game looks and feels expensive, not just in the game, but also in the marketing, and we've seen with quare enix with game like the older Lara croft games that these big budget games NEED to sell way more then they are
And we know what happens when games don't meet those lofty financial sales, the workers who brought us the game get layed off
