If they wanted FF7 Remake to sell at wildly high levels, they shouldn't have changed the fucking game. I don't want to buy a different game, if it was the same game I would buy it at $100 a fucking pop without a second thought though.
I'm sure if they did a 1:1 FFIX remake it would do unexpectedly well though. But I would be salty as hell they did that for 9 but not 7.

Is this a FF reference?
I do still play the original but, you might remember, people have been hyping a FF7 re-release since PS2 launched. Once it was confirmed everyone I know and I were pumped to see an updated version of it even decades later.
Before Remake came out with a new story pretty much everyone wanted a 1:1 remake, then it was announced as a retelling and now people defend it by saying there's no point for a 1:1. If there was no point to it and no one wanted a 1:1, then why did sales flop on the second installment? A 1:1 is exactly what fans wanted for so long and they fucked it up after having nearly 30 years to get it right.
You might be right people want a 1:1 remake. I think you're wrong that it has any merit as to why they should do it. At least how it is now people can play both versions and get something different out of them and the people aren't pretending the original doesn't exist like they might with other games. The remake is treated as the separate experience that it truly is than something that's supposed to overwrite the original.
I totally understand that, honestly, but the reality is that people were awaiting a 1:1 specifically for decades. No one had ever talked about wanting a different version of FF7. That alone is the reason to make it, that would've given them a huge profit victory from the game alone not to mention merch.
