Their remakes/remasters of older titles were regularly performing better then expected, and large releases usually the opposite. I think any remasters are at least relatively safe, as long as they were actually in dev and not just speculation/an obscure old title.

I mean Final Fantasy 7 and X were well known to be system sellers. They were both in the top 5 most popular games of their eras. I don't think a lot of people bought a ps5 just for FF16. That's kinda the risk when you change the litetal face of a genre. Mario explored tons of different genres of games, but the mainline games are still platformers

There's also the fact that BG3 was very popular and Infinite wealth and persona as well.

BG3 and Infinite wealth showed you can innovate the turn based systems by adding a lot of aoe that is more complex than "one or all ennemies"(which used to be done by chrono trigger, but whatever). Mobility adds a lot depth to those games system as well. People would probably enjoy a FF that innovates on the classic formula
