Beim Anime News Network wurde ein Interview mit dem National Manager of Merchandise von Square Enix, Kanji Tashiro, geführt.
Über Final Fantasy VII-Merchandise sagte er das Folgende:
Well, obviously Final Fantasy VII is still really popular, and while I can’t speak for the entire team, to overview what Tetsuya Nomura has said in regards to the game in interviews, FFVII holds a special place in the development team’s heart, so they want to revisit it as much as possible. Right now that same team is working on Final Fantasy XIII and Kingdom Hearts. Once they’re done with those projects, they’re probably going to revisit Final Fantasy VII. Regarding the merchandise, the characters from FFVII appear in a lot of other titles, so there are many different versions of Cloud and Sephiroth that haven’t been realized as merchandise yet, so the fans can look forward to that.
Auf Deutsch: Neues von Final Fantasy VII gibt es erst, wenn die Arbeiten an FF XIII und KH abgeschlossen sind, bis dahin stehen uns noch die 1000 und 1001 Sammelfigur von Cloud und Sephiroth ins Haus. Die verkaufen sich nämlich besonders gut:
The Cloud and Sephiroth figures from the Advent Children line are probably our top-selling items right now; they’re ahead of all the rest. The Cloud & Hardy Daytona Bike set sold really well too; we can’t disclose exact numbers right now but we’ve had a huge number of orders in Europe and North America.
