Make sure to include weapon skins in the inevitable FF7R crosspromotion

as someone disappointed in the lack of weapon skins in the ff15 cross-over, i am hoping that when this cross-over comes to pass that we get themed ff7 weapon skins

I'm probably one of the very few who just wishes that FF 8 would get some love. Heck, they didn't even port it over to the Switch, yet they released 7, 9, 10, 12 and some alternative version of 15.

Why would they need to do an FF7 re-release crossover? FF7 will sell like hotcakes and won't need XIV to prop it up. They'll have no need to bring it to the MMO and try to get people interested in investigating the game.
That's been the theme of square-property crossovers. They want to boost the sales of the other property; since these crossovers never happen at the height of their popularity.

Considering the name in charge of it is more reliable at missing deadlines than keeping them, they'll need that crossover to even keep it in people's minds.

Never thought of it that way. We'll see how things play out, i suppose?

8's my least favorite but I'd buy every skin our outfit that's provided from it in a heartbeat. If there's one thing I can't fault about that game, it's the design direction.

Also if we do get FF7 weapons, I hope we get some of Yuffie's weapon for Dancer.\

crossovers are meant to be mutually beneficial

A FFVII Remake crossover is highly likely though, given Yoshi himself is on record saying his favourite FF game is FFVII (and how big both games are - FFVII's success needs no real elaboration and FFXIV ARR saved SE from utter ruin after FFXIV 1.0's failure).

If you're hoping for the Buster Sword though, that's already out as it's in FFXIV already anyway in a way (it's the graphic for the level 2 and 3 DPS Limit Break). Really I'm less interested in glamour weapons and more outfits (Yes, I just want Aeris's dress, are my intentions that transperant?). :p

Crossovers that are between two companies, yes. Monster hunter benefited from the audience it gained in XIV, and XIV benefited by the audience within Monster Hunter.
When it's one company using a crossover, it's only to promote it's second IP. Lightning was advertised within XIV to increase the poor sales of XIII, the same with XV. There wouldn't be a mutual benefit to advertising VII within XIV, as that title is anticipated and won't need the advertising as the numbers interested in VII exceed the playerbase of XIV if past sales of the original game are any indication.

I'm not going to ever say i don't want a crossover; but it's not going to be a priority to do one if they don't need to advertise the game.

I’ll be honest: I fail to see how a level 1/level 2 melee DPS LB animation would mean a Buster Sword glamour is never going to happen.

my question is what do you do for nin, or ast, do you use vincent or barret for mch, which does gbk get after you make mchs choice (i think barret works better for gbk though cause barret has some melee arms), or sch/smn (loveless and gasts journal?), or war (mast ax is too much like existing weapons, mop?), or sam (my moneys on the masamune cause thatd be hilarious to watch them swing around a 10foot sword), or blam (wizer staff?), who gets nanakis hairclips, who gets the hilarious joke weapon megaphone (id do pal with a mogdoll shield), what does ram get, or brd, theres so many places where theyd have to really stretch to find a workable weapon

Couple of Yuffie's weapons work for NIN. If I recall correctly from the Lightning event though, if there isn't a weapon that matches they just make a new one that will. At least I don't recall the SCH/SMN weapons from that event ever being in FF13, though do correct me if I'm wrong as it's been a dog's age since I played it.

The Arcanist book is Hope's boomering, except when you pull it out it spreads into a tome. Kinda neat, actually.

They'll totally be able to get creative with weapons for the crossovers though. Imagine Ninja getting two tiny Buster Swords, heh.

cross overs don't need to be another form of advertisement look at the Garo event
monster hunter world didn't need the advertisement it was something Yoshi.p and Ryozo want to do for a long time

We have the Gold Saucer, we have Cloud's motorbike, we have various minions from it, paladins and dark knights probably have most of Cloud's swords at this point, we have the Strife gear, we have the Jobs and associated weapons of most FF7 characters and their limit breaks, we have chocobos, black chocobos that fly, gysahl green feeding that allows chocobos to fight by your side... many of its summons in primal form. We even have materia and Guard Scorpion. It's difficult to see what hasn't already crossed over from FF7.
