Indeed, it became a cult.

Then came Episode I. Huge succes, 922 million dollars. Nothing surprising since fans waited it for years. But after the first boom, a lot of people said that it was fairly disappointing.

Then came Episode II...this time, people knew how the new saga could be bad, and betray the sacred cult of IV, V VI...648 million dollars...

FFVII is the best selling of the franchise (When you look at the number of copies sold) with approximately 10 millions. Let's say the remake sell for "only" 8 or 9 millions. It would still be the best-selling FF for a long time. And this time, they could release it on all the HD console along with PC.

By the way, FF VII was released in 1997. Recent Final Fantasy players weren't even born that year. Do you realise how many people would by it without even having played the original one and thus couldn't compare the two ?
FFVII has been recently made available both for the PSN and for PC. I'm sure SE has quite a lot better sales data to gauge the feasibility, risks and opportunities of a remake than you do.

But do keep thinking you know better. It's hilarious
