Most games are made to make money but it's not the only goal the creators have. FFX-2 was only made to make money. Aside from a pretty decent battle system it had no redeeming qualities really. It was just made so they could reuse the assets they made for FFX and pump out a game they knew would sell a few million copies with the least amount of effort they could put into it.
It's the literal definition of a cash grab.
