These things sell niche. SE wants big AAA success like their PS1-PS2 days with the franchise.
Make an as good FF as VI in HD-2D and I guarantee it would have bonker sales. They keep throwing new franchises in this style which are still successful but it takes time to build branding.
Main FF in this style would sell more than their latest attempts. I would bet on that.
Modern ones are scaled back, as per S-E's very own words, FF6 remake would take 20 years (ah!). It's pretty telling that something is wrong.
