In sales figures no, but in terms of return on investment, they could actually make a higher return on DS remakes of FFV or VI. A PS3 remake of FFVII could easily cost in the realm of $20 million or more. The cost to remake a game on the DS would be substantially less, requiring a lot less in sales to earn an excellent return.

That doesn't even get into the fact that a VII remake that doesn't perfectly balance the feel of the old game with the right improvements in the right places will put off older fans, or annoy newer fans with outdated gaming conventions, or put off those who weren't big fans to begin with.

No matter what the case, a remake wouldn't be remotely as successful as the original. Personally I'm hoping for a Chrono sequel even if I doubt their ability to do it right.

I don't know what percentage of rpg fans/FF fans own one..as a percentage of the total group.

We had a discussion in anotrher thread about some franchises Square was ignoring and Chrono was in that group.
I don't know if Square is interested in making another Chrono game.

Greed will determine what Square will remake. I don't think alienating old FFVII fans even enters their thought processes. Only how much of a profit can be made and I think FFVII has the greatest profit making potential for a remake over any of the old FFs.
