VII's mass appeal has a lot to do with the new "non-medieval" and more urban feel for a FF game. It was truly a different looking game than previous entries and it had a much-broader audience.

The graphical leap from SNES gen to PS gen is also a huge selling point.

It came out at the peak of Squaresoft as far as brand appeal and marketing as well.

Agreed.

And I liked that take on it (Final Fantasy VI came close to the Urban feel, it was very much rooted in a pseudo-steampunk world), but they just never let it go outside of 9. And everything had to be some "alternate modernity," or something close to it.

Plus, I kind of want a Final Fantasy IV reboot with new visuals more than even 6. I think that world, the moon, and the rest would be a lot of fun.
