>Completely ignoring the fact the game was/is much more popular (and financially successful) than IX, general audiences and the wider western market fully accepted the semi Sci-Fi/Sci-Fi esthetics of not just VII, but what was current Final Fantasy at the time. IXs fairytale-esc atmosphere was opposed to what most normies wanted (and expected) from the series tonally. Of course IXs whimsical mood is much more accepted now, but that's after years of IX generally being ignored by the wider market. It had to take people who played IX as children growing up and audiences giving the game a second chance for the title to reach the state of popularity it enjoys now.
Gotta throw a +1 on this. The irony being FFIX 'failed' because it tried to cash in on nostalaga.
Also gonna throw some fuel on the fire and remind everyone FF8 was a much more popular game than the haters would like to have you think.

In the heads of delusional manchildren, and nowhere else.
Remakes are for money-makers, not flops

FF has never been a big seller compared to pretty much any other AAA franchise or title, especially Western ones.
Consider that these highest sellers are after 20+ years of sales, remasters, ports, re-releases, a now remakes that of course got people interested in trying the originals.
