More FF7 Legacy?

Hey Final Fantasy keepers, Panini here. I would like to direct your attention to the second paragraph of the Paper Mario series' development section. It talks about what Nintendo did after Final Fantasy VII was taken to Playstation; long story short, Paper Mario came to be because of it. Is it worth mentioning here somewhere? Panini!🥪 11:38, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

:Well, looks like Nintendo were already planning for Paper Mario's development--Square just turned down their offer to develop it because of work on FF7. A sentence or two could be illuminating and provide extra context. 2601:346:C281:79F0:1D1E:4707:EBAD:4C5F (talk) 05:16, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

Double Check PC Sales

I was looking at the PC sales for Final Fantasy 7 and it says that sales exceeded 1 million units. Strangely enough, I cannot find any data to corroborate this claim from third party sources outside of that link. All sources which show PC platform sales from January to December do not show Final Fantasy 7 listed anywhere.MutedL (talk) 00:18, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
