Maybe for DQ and CT...

But FF7? You expect a remake to sell over 10 million copies? Even FF XIII won't sell that much.

 

Woa, big words. For either production. Good luck with that one Soriku.

 

What? You think FF XIII will sell 10 million?

 

I'm with Soriku on this one, I love Final Fantasy but thinking that it would sell over 10 million just seems delusional, no single Final Fantasy has made the 10 million sale mark.

 

 

Honestly, who knows.  Maybe the next one will be alienating to the Japanese market.   Or maybe next one be herald as the WoW killer.  Only thing we know is they are putting big money and time into this one and span the universe over several games.  They are almost putting the franchise on the line with one i suppose with it being exclusive to the PS3 (so far).  It just seems to me that 8, 9, 10 million people WW could possible pick this game up.  We know at least half of that will pick it up because it has FF in the title.  12 proved that.

As for a remake of FF7, nostalga has been running rampant on current gen consoles.  To many, 9.75 of them, all went out and bought the PS1 game.  That was over 11 years ago.  They are still throwing out FF7 branded stuff.  After 11 years.

But again honestly, who knows.  Just saying it was a very strong statement.
