A 3A graphics and development will not justify turn based game tho. Both Bravely Default and Octopath Traveler combined would not amount to maybe half of current FF-7 budget. You need to understand that they are not making the remake for the old fans, or at least not only for the old fans, but to introduce FF7 to newer generation. The original game is lauded as "the best" of FF and FF7 is perhaps the only Square IP with a very strong franchise. Newer gamer know of "the legend" so to speak, but will not try the game, and thus have no connection to the franchise. Making a game which tells the same story (and IIRC they are going to expand each section of the game? Like I remember you are going to able to visit other Midgar sectors or something) with modern appeal is what Square is going for so that newer gamer will have connection to FF7 franchise.
A 1 to 1 remake with only better graphics will only appeal to JRPG veteran, which is not what they are going for. And if you are doing a AAA title, decent action combat will always out-sell TB one simply for general appeal. There is a reason there are very few AAA turn based RPG anymore, be it in Japan or West.

What do you mean?
FF XV is the third biggest selling FF game, just behind FF VII and FF X.

Yeah, it continues to sell well, but XV also had such a messy development cycle and so much wasted resources that I wouldn't be surprised if its return on investment was pretty poor.

That is the thing modern publishers refuse to talk about,actual profit and not just sales.
I wouldn't be surprised if older ff games had bigger profits then any modern ff game.
It is also the main reason why games like Pokemon and dragon quest print money,low development costs and high returns.

To be fair, they already did that HD remaster plus ports for the Switch, including the X-2 game. They would have remade all their games... Except for FF8, because someone lost the data of said game.

FFXV is only doing so well because of all the re-releases and the PC version actually being an improvement over the original. Many FF games don't sell so well nowadays because, especially in the case of FF5 and FF6, the ports on Steam and mobile are actually inferior to what you can get for free in an emulator after a five second download.
As for the 7 Remake, it looks terrible. Barret with shades? what were they thinking. The Resident Evil 2 remake already defied history and logic and was actually pretty decent, even my anal retentive RE superfan buddy liked it and he drops a game over the tiniest of flaws. I just don't see lightning striking twice here.

I refuse to believe someone will drop the remake over Barret's shades.
My mind has easier time comprehending Cthulhu than that.

I actually wonder how they'll remake Tifa.
Her boobs were gigantic in the original.

That article sucks except for the video below and the hilarious closing quote "gamers are staying watchful and vigilant to in order to protect the sanctity of Tifa’s bust size."
So this is how a female artist imagines Tifa in the remake?
Give that woman a medal!

90% of it will be Cloud in drag taking the D.
