What people forget with FF VII though is that it's SE's golden egg. If the company ever hits a point where their finances are a worry, they could release a remake of FF VII as an overwhelming success on whatever Playstation system is out at the time, likely doubling up with whatever the current Microsoft console is at the time to try to increase sales. It is a surefire sale, and as long as people praise FF VII as the greatest thing since sliced bread, SE will hold onto it for a rainy day. If people ever realize that FF VII is actually a really mediocre RPG and only a so-so FF game, then SE might just go ahead and release a remake.
